No-Logs VPN: What the Claim Actually Means

A true no-logs policy means the provider doesn't record your browsing history, connection timestamps, IP addresses, or bandwidth usage.

Why the claim alone isn't enough

Anyone can write "we don't log" in a privacy policy. What separates a credible claim from marketing is an independent third-party audit and RAM-only server infrastructure that makes retaining logs technically difficult.

What to look for

• A recent, published audit report from a named security firm
• RAM-only ("diskless") servers
• A jurisdiction outside intelligence-sharing alliances, for the most privacy-sensitive use cases
