A US-based cyberstalker harassing his old roommate was apprehended by the FBI, but the greatest cost was paid by the VPN provider. Back in 2017, the FBI accidentally let slip how PureVPN’s strict “no logs” policy was basically bogus. Unfortunately, no, due to the privacy scandal surrounding PureVPN. Does that mean this round should end with a tie? Hence, the winner of this round is clear – it’s NordVPN.īoth VPNs have an independently-audited no-logs policy, as well as an option to pay anonymously, with cryptocurrencies. However, NordVPN wins by offering Onion over VPN, Double VPN, and a free SOCKS5 proxy, which PurePVN does not have.

To see how both providers do in terms of IP and DNS leaks, I ran some online tests, connecting to Sweden with NordVPN and Honduras with PureVPN.
