Most people who choose to use a VPN do so because they want their activity to be private and secure.

As this article from Lifehacker suggests, some VPN providers are not as trustworthy as they first seem.

Choosing a trustworthy, reliable VPN service provider is hard, but over on Reddit, user That One Privacy Guy collected virtually everything there is to know about most large (and many small) VPNs and put them into a single color-coded Google Sheet that's easy to read and understand.

The sheet is packed with good data, including whether or not the VPN is cross-platform, based in a "fourteen eyes" country (aka, a country that's happy to spy on your data and share information with one another), what kind of logging they do (if any,) what protocols they support and which ports they block, their number of exit servers and how many countries they have them in, and more. A quick look at even some of the best performing and most popular VPNs will show you it's a mixed bag, whether it's from a privacy perspective or an availability perspective. Either way, the information is right there to look through.
