Open-source VPNs
Open-source apps mean anyone can read what the VPN client does on your device: what it sends, where and how it handles your connection. It doesn’t prove the servers keep no logs, but it removes one blind spot.
Several of these providers also have their apps audited, so the public code is actually looked at, not just published.
