Few days ago TorrentFreak published their 2015 guide to VPN services.
Questions providers were asked include:
- Do you keep any logs which would allow you to match an IP-address and a time stamp to a user of your service?
- Under what jurisdiction(s) does your company operate?
- Do you have physical control over your VPN servers and network or are they outsourced and hosted by a third party (if so, which ones)? Where are your servers located?
It's a decent guide, but as a good practice, do your own research as well before selecting the VPN provider.
