Jordan Brennan

Editor & Lead Tester

Jordan Brennan has covered consumer privacy technology for seven years. They hold a BSc in Computer Science and personally test every VPN listed on this site on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Each test uses a consistent 1 Gbps fiber connection from the Midwest and is re-run quarterly.

Areas of expertise

Consumer VPN testing and comparative analysis
Network protocol benchmarking (WireGuard, Lightway, OpenVPN)
Streaming-service unblocking methodology
No-logs audit literacy and critical reading of privacy policies
Cross-platform client testing (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux)

How I test

Every VPN review on this site represents at least 40 hours of direct testing. I purchase every service with my own or company funds — we do not accept free trial extensions or promotional accounts from VPN vendors — and I re-test the top five every quarter to reflect protocol rollouts, audit publications, and pricing changes. Full methodology is documented on the How we rate page.
