Affiliate Disclosure

The Short Version:

TopListedVPNs.com is a free resource. We make money when you click links on our site and purchase a VPN subscription. This does not cost you anything extra, but it allows us to keep the site running.

At TopListedVPNs.com, we believe in complete transparency. We want you to know exactly how our website is funded, why we are free to use, and how we maintain our editorial standards.

How Affiliate Links Work

An affiliate link is a specific URL that contains a tracking code. If you click on one of these links on our website (for example, a "View Deal" button for NordVPN) and then make a purchase, the provider pays us a small commission for the referral.

Important: This commission comes out of the provider's pocket, not yours. In fact, because we work directly with these brands, our links often unlock special discounts or coupons that are cheaper than the standard public price.

Does This Affect Our Reviews?

No. While we rely on affiliate revenue to pay for server costs, domain hosting, and device testing, we maintain strict editorial independence.

Here is our promise to you:

  • We never accept payment to change a review score.
  • We test every VPN personally on real devices (Windows, Android, Fire Stick, etc.).
  • If a VPN is slow, insecure, or fails to unlock Netflix, we will tell you, regardless of the commission.
  • We list pros and cons for every product.

Our Affiliate Partners

We currently have affiliate relationships with the following providers:

  • NordVPN (Nord Security)
  • Surfshark

  • CyberGhost (Kape Technologies)
  • Proton VPN

Why We Do This

Running a high-traffic website requires time and money. Instead of cluttering our guides with annoying pop-up ads or putting our content behind a "paywall," we choose the affiliate model. This keeps the information free and accessible to everyone while allowing us to operate as a sustainable business.

If you have any questions about our funding or partnerships, please feel free to contact us at contact@toplistedvpns.com.
