What the models actually said.
The ranking is the answer; these are the words behind it. Every quote is from a recorded model answer — follow the category to read it whole.
CyberGhost
CyberGhost – Publishes regular transparency reports and has passed independent audits, though it's owned by a larger conglomerate (Kape Technologies) which slightly dings trust versus independents.
Claude
Mullvad
Mullvad VPN — My top pick for privacy purists because it requires no email or personal details for an account, supports cash/crypto payments, publishes audits, avoids affiliate marketing, and has a very clear privacy-first operating model.
