Frequently Asked Questions
Everything readers most often want to know: how VPNunited works, what we compare, and how our rankings come together.
1What is VPNunited about?
VPNunited is an editorial comparison portal that introduces, evaluates, and contrasts popular antivirus programs and VPN providers for consumers. Visitors will find editorial in-depth reviews, ratings, and feature overviews for each product — designed to help you decide before you buy.
2How are the rankings put together?
The full list of criteria — market presence, feature set, external sources, our own hands-on experience, reader feedback and more — is documented on our Methodology page. Editorial scores reflect our own assessment and are not independent lab benchmarks.
3How do I find information about a specific antivirus or VPN product?
Our two main comparison pages list every provider we cover, each with a feature overview and a link to the in-depth review. Alternatively, the Overview page shows all providers at a glance.
4Are VPN providers covered too?
Yes — alongside the antivirus comparison we cover 15 consumer VPN providers including TotalVPN, NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark, CyberGhost, ProtonVPN, PureVPN, HMA, PrivateVPN, UltraVPN, Avira VPN, Hotspot Shield, PIA, SaferVPN and VyprVPN. See the Overview for the complete list.
5What does the "Top 10" list mean?
It's a curated list of the consumer products per category that we considered most relevant at the time of our last editorial review — sorted according to our Methodology. Relevance shifts over time: we update the lists whenever new versions or test results become available.
6How often is the content updated?
Content is reviewed and revised on an ongoing basis whenever providers change their feature set or pricing structure. The year shown in each in-depth review's title indicates the most recent editorial pass.
7Is using VPNunited free?
Yes — access to all comparisons, in-depth reviews, and FAQs is free. The site is funded through affiliate commissions: when readers click through one of our links to a provider and sign up there, the provider may pay us a commission — at no extra cost to you. The full disclosure is in our Terms of Use.
8How do I install the antivirus or VPN software I'm interested in?
Each product page includes an editorial in-depth review that links you to the provider's overview. The purchase and installation happen directly with the provider — VPNunited itself does not sell or host any software.
9Where do I find the privacy policy and legal notice?
Both are linked in the footer of every page and are reachable here directly: Privacy Policy, Legal Notice, Terms of Use.
10Who runs VPNunited?
VPNunited is an independent comparison portal focused on consumer security software. The operator's contact details are published in the Legal Notice.
