Affiliate disclosure
Updated 21 September 2026 · How we research
VPN Sherlock earns money through affiliate commission. This page explains exactly how that works, because you should be able to judge our recommendations with that knowledge rather than without it.
How it works
- Some links to VPN providers on this site are affiliate links.
- If you buy a subscription after following one, the provider may pay us a commission.
- The price you pay is not increased by using our link.
- Commission rates differ between providers, which is a real conflict of interest and the reason this page exists.
What it does not affect
Disclosure is only meaningful alongside these commitments.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Does commission decide the ordering of recommendations? | No. Ordering follows the criteria in our methodology. |
| Do vendors review content before publication? | No. Vendors receive no copy approval. |
| Can a vendor pay to remove a stated limitation? | No. Documented limitations remain regardless of commercial relationship. |
| Can a vendor pay for a higher position? | No. We do not sell placement. |
| Are non-affiliate providers excluded? | No. Coverage is not conditional on a commercial relationship. |
Our primary recommendation is also a commercial partner
Where links appear
Affiliate links appear in provider pricing blocks and comparison tables. Each pricing block carries a disclosure line beneath it. Internal links between articles are never affiliate links.
