People commonly use commercial VPN services for privacy. They want to protect online activity from ISPs. They want to keep their identity and location private. So VPN services promote themselves accordingly. Some even claim to provide "anonymity".

But there's a problem: VPN protocols were not designed with those goals in mind. By default, they leak in too many ways to reliably protect privacy. They leak queries to default DNS nameservers. They leak IPv4 traffic when forced to reconnect. And they are often entirely oblivious to IPv6 traffic.

These are well known issues. Most VPN services now claim to prevent DNS and IPv4 leaks. Some even claim to prevent IPv6 leaks. And knowledgeable users know how to test for leaks, and how to prevent them.

But there's another problem: most users are far from knowledgeable about VPNs. They are naive. And sadly, there is no reliable way for naive users to know which VPN services deliver on their promises. Certainly, there are many sites that review VPNs. But most of these reviews are just marketing bullshit. They're a product of VPN marketing and affiliate programs.
