VPN Services	material/vpn	These are the best VPN services for protecting your privacy and security online. Find a provider here that isn’t out to spy on you.

If you're looking for additional privacy from your ISP, on a public Wi-Fi network, or while torrenting files, a VPN may be the solution for you as long as you understand the risks involved. We think these providers are a cut above the rest:

!!! danger "VPNs bieten keine Anonymität"

Using a VPN will **not** keep your browsing habits anonymous, nor will it add additional security to non-secure (HTTP) traffic.

If you are looking for **anonymity**, you should use the Tor Browser **instead** of a VPN.

If you're looking for added **security**, you should always ensure you're connecting to websites using HTTPS. A VPN is not a replacement for good security practices.

:material-check:{ .pg-green } 35 Countries

IVPN has servers in 35 countries.(1) Picking a VPN provider with a server nearest to you will reduce latency of the network traffic you send. Der Grund dafür ist eine kürzere Route (weniger Sprünge) zum Ziel. { .annotate }

Stand: 2022-09-16

We also think it's better for the security of the VPN provider's private keys if they use dedicated servers, instead of cheaper shared solutions (with other customers) such as virtual private servers.

:material-check:{ .pg-green } Independently Audited

IVPN has undergone a no-logging audit from Cure53 which concluded in agreement with IVPN's no-logging claim. IVPN has also completed a comprehensive pentest report Cure53 in January 2020. IVPN has also said they plan to have annual reports in the future. A further review was conducted in April 2022 and was produced by Cure53 on their website.

:material-check:{ .pg-green } Open-Source Clients

As of February 2020 IVPN applications are now open-source. Source code can be obtained from their GitHub organization.

:material-check:{ .pg-green } Accepts Cash and Monero

In addition to accepting credit/debit cards and PayPal, IVPN accepts Bitcoin, Monero and cash/local currency (on annual plans) as anonymous forms of payment.

:material-check:{ .pg-green } WireGuard Support

IVPN unterstützt das WireGuard®-Protokoll. WireGuard is a newer protocol that uses state-of-the-art cryptography. Darüber hinaus zielt WireGuard darauf ab, einfacher und leistungsfähiger zu sein.

IVPN recommends the use of WireGuard with their service and, as such, the protocol is the default on all of IVPN's apps. IVPN also offers a WireGuard configuration generator for use with the official WireGuard apps.

:material-check:{ .pg-green } Remote Port Forwarding

Remote port forwarding is possible with a Pro plan. Port forwarding can be activated via the client area. Port forwarding is only available on IVPN when using WireGuard or OpenVPN protocols and is disabled on US servers.

:material-check:{ .pg-green } Mobile Clients

In addition to providing standard OpenVPN configuration files, IVPN has mobile clients for App Store, Google Play, and GitHub allowing for easy connections to their servers.

:material-information-outline:{ .pg-blue } Additional Functionality

IVPN-Clients unterstützen Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung (die Clients von Mullvad nicht). IVPN also provides "AntiTracker" functionality, which blocks advertising networks and trackers from the network level.

Mullvad

:material-check:{ .pg-green } Independently Audited

Mullvad's VPN clients have been audited by Cure53 and Assured AB in a pentest report published at cure53.de. The security researchers concluded:

Cure53 and Assured AB are happy with the results of the audit and the software leaves an overall positive impression. With security dedication of the in-house team at the Mullvad VPN compound, the testers have no doubts about the project being on the right track from a security standpoint.

In 2020 a second audit was announced and the final audit report was made available on Cure53's website:

The results of this May-June 2020 project targeting the Mullvad complex are quite positive. [...] The overall application ecosystem used by Mullvad leaves a sound and structured impression. The overall structure of the application makes it easy to roll out patches and fixes in a structured manner. More than anything, the findings spotted by Cure53 showcase the importance of constantly auditing and re-assessing the current leak vectors, in order to always ensure privacy of the end-users. With that being said, Mullvad does a great job protecting the end-user from common PII leaks and privacy related risks.

In 2021 an infrastructure audit was announced and the final audit report was made available on Cure53's website. Another report was commissioned in June 2022 and is available on Assured's website.

:material-check:{ .pg-green } Open-Source Clients

Mullvad provides the source code for their desktop and mobile clients in their GitHub organization.

:material-check:{ .pg-green } Accepts Cash and Monero

Mullvad, in addition to accepting credit/debit cards and PayPal, accepts Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Monero and cash/local currency as anonymous forms of payment. Sie akzeptieren auch Swish- und Banküberweisungen.

:material-check:{ .pg-green } WireGuard Support

Mullvad unterstützt das WireGuard®-Protokoll. WireGuard is a newer protocol that uses state-of-the-art cryptography. Darüber hinaus zielt WireGuard darauf ab, einfacher und leistungsfähiger zu sein.

Mullvad recommends the use of WireGuard with their service. It is the default or only protocol on Mullvad's Android, iOS, macOS, and Linux apps, but on Windows you have to manually enable WireGuard. Mullvad also offers a WireGuard configuration generator for use with the official WireGuard apps.

:material-check:{ .pg-green } IPv6 Support

Mullvad supports the future of networking IPv6. Their network allows you to access services hosted on IPv6 as opposed to other providers who block IPv6 connections.

:material-check:{ .pg-green } Remote Port Forwarding

Remote port forwarding is allowed for people who make one-time payments, but not allowed for accounts with a recurring/subscription-based payment method. This is to prevent Mullvad from being able to identify you based on your port usage and stored subscription information. See Port forwarding with Mullvad VPN for more information.

:material-check:{ .pg-green } Mobile Clients

Mullvad has published App Store and Google Play clients, both supporting an easy-to-use interface as opposed to requiring you to manually configure your WireGuard connection. The Android client is also available on GitHub.

:material-information-outline:{ .pg-blue } Additional Functionality

Mullvad is very transparent about which nodes they own or rent. They use ShadowSocks in their ShadowSocks + OpenVPN configuration, making them more resistant against firewalls with Deep Packet Inspection trying to block VPNs. Supposedly, China has to use a different method to block ShadowSocks servers. Mullvad's website is also accessible via Tor at o54hon2e2vj6c7m3aqqu6uyece65by3vgoxxhlqlsvkmacw6a7m7kiad.onion.

Stand: 2022-09-16

:material-check:{ .pg-green } Independently Audited

Im Januar 2020 hat sich Proton VPN einem unabhängigen Audit durch SEC Consult unterzogen. SEC Consult fand einige Sicherheitslücken mit mittlerem und niedrigem Risiko in den Windows-, Android- und iOS-Anwendungen von Proton VPN, die alle von Proton VPN vor der Veröffentlichung der Berichte "ordnungsgemäß behoben" wurden. Keines der festgestellten Probleme hätte angreifenden Fernzugriff auf dein Gerät oder deinen Datenverkehr ermöglicht. You can view individual reports for each platform at protonvpn.com. In April 2022 Proton VPN underwent another audit and the report was produced by Securitum. A letter of attestation was provided for Proton VPN's apps on 9th November 2021 by Securitum.

:material-check:{ .pg-green } Open-Source Clients

Proton VPN provides the source code for their desktop and mobile clients in their GitHub organization.

:material-check:{ .pg-green } Accepts Cash

Proton VPN, in addition to accepting credit/debit cards, PayPal, and Bitcoin, also accepts cash/local currency as an anonymous form of payment.

:material-check:{ .pg-green } WireGuard Support

Proton VPN unterstützt hauptsächlich das WireGuard®-Protokoll. WireGuard is a newer protocol that uses state-of-the-art cryptography. Darüber hinaus zielt WireGuard darauf ab, einfacher und leistungsfähiger zu sein.

Proton VPN recommends the use of WireGuard with their service. On Proton VPN's Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, ChromeOS, and Android TV apps, WireGuard is the default protocol; however, support for the protocol is not present in their Linux app.

:material-alert-outline:{ .pg-orange } Remote Port Forwarding

Proton VPN currently only supports remote port forwarding on Windows, which may impact some applications. Especially Peer-to-peer applications like Torrent clients.

:material-check:{ .pg-green } Mobile Clients

In addition to providing standard OpenVPN configuration files, Proton VPN has mobile clients for App Store, Google Play, and GitHub allowing for easy connections to their servers.

:material-information-outline:{ .pg-blue } Additional Functionality

Proton VPN Clients unterstützen Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung auf allen Plattformen außer Linux. Proton VPN hat eigene Server und Rechenzentren in der Schweiz, Island und Schweden. Sie bieten mit ihrem DNS-Dienst die Möglichkeit, Werbung und Schadware zu blockieren. Additionally, Proton VPN also offers "Tor" servers allowing you to easily connect to onion sites, but we still strongly recommend using the official Tor Browser for this purpose.

:material-alert-outline:{ .pg-orange } Killswitch feature is broken on Intel-based Macs

System crashes may occur on Intel-based Macs when using the VPN killswitch. Wenn du diese Funktion benötigst und einen Mac mit Intel-Chipsatz verwendest, solltest du einen anderen VPN-Dienst nutzen.

Kriterien

!!! danger

It is important to note that using a VPN provider will not make you anonymous, but it will give you better privacy in certain situations. Ein VPN ist kein Werkzeug für illegale Aktivitäten. Verlasse dich nicht auf "no Log" Richtlienen.

Bitte beachte, dass wir mit keinem der Projekte, die wir empfehlen, verbunden sind. Dies ermöglicht es uns, völlig objektive Empfehlungen zu geben. Zusätzlich zu unseren Standardkriterien haben wir eine Reihe klarer Anforderungen für alle VPN-Anbieter*innen entwickelt, die empfohlen werden wollen, darunter starke Verschlüsselung, unabhängige Sicherheitsprüfungen, moderne Technologie und mehr. We suggest you familiarize yourself with this list before choosing a VPN provider, and conduct your own research to ensure the VPN provider you choose is as trustworthy as possible.

Technologie

We require all our recommended VPN providers to provide OpenVPN configuration files to be used in any client. If a VPN provides their own custom client, we require a killswitch to block network data leaks when disconnected.
