Hi, I'm Tony

This started with a renewal email. The VPN I'd signed up for on a two-year deal wanted nearly three times as much to keep going, and I had never once looked at the renewal price.

Choosing a VPN shouldn't take an evening of open tabs. VPNABC puts the things that matter next to each other: what it costs after the first term, who is behind the brand, and what it does on your devices.

What surprised me most while putting it together was how few companies sit behind all those brands. NordVPN and Surfshark have the same owner, and so do ExpressVPN, CyberGhost and Private Internet Access. Two names that compete in a top-ten list can be one company, so I drew a map of who owns what.

I hope it saves you an evening, and helps you pick one you're happy with.

Owners change and prices move every few months. If you see something out of date, tell me at hello@vpnabc.com with a link to the provider's page and I'll update it. How the facts are checked is here.

Happy choosing,
Tony
