Our answer: rerun the tests every month, publish the date on every ranking, and show the raw evidence. No rewritten press releases, no "top 10" filler, no affiliate-commission-weighted ordering.
Commercial guides contain affiliate links to the VPN vendors ranked. If you sign up through a link, streamtested earns a commission at no extra cost to you.
Ranking order is determined by test results, not by commission rate. The same ordering would be published if every VPN paid identical commissions.
