How this table is kept
- Only the provider’s own words count: its blog, help centre, security advisory, changelog or release page. Reviews and news are used only to find them.
- Every status is tied to a short sentence on its source, and a script checks each week that the sentence is still there. If a source changes or disappears, the row is re-read by hand before it changes.
- “Not stated” means we looked and found no public statement for that app as of the check date - not that the app is safe or unsafe.
- These are statements, not tests. Both attacks need a hostile local network; the VPN leak test checks what your own connection shows right now.
