Data License

We want Secure-VPN's benchmark data to be useful outside this website too. You are welcome to use, share, analyse, publish or build on the original benchmark data and analysis we create. We only ask that you clearly credit Secure-VPN.com as the source.

You can reuse our data

Unless a page says otherwise, original benchmark datasets, measurements, statistics, charts, tables and analysis produced by Secure-VPN are available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0).

This means you can copy, redistribute, analyse, transform and build on our original material, including for commercial use.

Please mention the source

In most cases, a simple attribution is enough:

Source: Secure-VPN.com

Where practical, please also link to the original benchmark, comparison, dataset or analytics page where the information came from.

If you filter, transform, combine or otherwise modify our data, please make that clear. Attribution must not suggest that Secure-VPN endorses your publication, company, product, service or conclusions.

About benchmark results

VPN performance is not fixed. Results can change with location, routing, server load, protocol, network conditions and the time a test is performed.

We work to keep our measurements accurate and reproducible, but our benchmark data and analysis are provided for research and informational purposes. A result measured under one set of conditions may not represent every user's experience.
