Choosing a VPN: the questions a good buyer asks

You would not hire a locksmith from a leaflet alone. The same instincts work here.

Treat it like hiring a tradesman

When you are choosing a VPN, the glossy comparison pages are the leaflets through the door. They are paid for by the firms they recommend, and the order of the list follows the size of the payment. A sensible buyer ignores the leaflet and asks four dull questions. What will this cost me over two years and not just today? Who is actually behind the name? What do they write down about me? And if I change my mind, how do I get out? A provider that answers all four on its own website without being chased deserves a trial. One that dodges any of them does not.

The four questions, and where to find the answers

✓Cost: the checkout page shows today's price, and the terms show the renewal price. Add the two together.
✓People: look for a company name, a registered address and a country. Companies House is free to search if the firm claims to be British.
✓Records: read the privacy policy for the words connection, timestamp and IP address. Vague reassurance is an answer in itself.
✓Exit: is renewal automatic? Is cancelling a button, or a conversation with a retention team?
✓Bonus: does the service connect from the awkward networks you actually use, such as halls, the office or a hotel?

  • On the bench, not yet finished: premium services, secure VPNs, no logs claims and what a fair price looks like.

Our own answers

It is only fair to put the same questions to Royal Key. Cost: one flat figure per term, shown in pounds on the home page. There is no renewal figure, because nothing renews. People: a small independent team, with company registration still in progress, and the footer says so. Records: no account exists, so there is nobody to keep records about. Exit: let the term run out. Two honest weaknesses: no outside audit so far, and six locations where the big names have sixty. Anyone who wants to compare VPN UK services on audits alone should buy from a firm that has one, and check how old it is.

A fair trial of any provider

  1. 1Run the free period or the refund window on your real devices, and not only on a laptop at lunchtime.
  2. 2Look up your IP address, then run a DNS leak test.
  3. 3Use it on a weekday evening, when the network is busy.
  4. 4Try the most awkward Wi-Fi you know.
  5. 5Decide before the deadline, and write the deadline down.

Nothing is charged and nothing renews on its own.

The ledger

We keep no ledger of you, only of the key

There is no account here, so there is nothing to attach a log to. You never give us an email, a phone number or a name. The bot knows a Telegram chat, a key and an expiry date, and that is the whole record. We say so plainly instead of pretending to be beyond every jurisdiction.

Nothing on file
  • No registration, no email, no phone number
  • No browsing history, no connection logs
  • Connection times and IP addresses
  • Card details: payment stays inside Telegram
  • Nothing renews and nothing is charged silently

At the counter

What people ask before the first key is cut

Why should I ignore comparison sites?

You need not ignore the facts on them. Ignore the order, which is paid for.

What is the single most important question?

What is recorded about you. A cheap, fast service that keeps logs has missed the point.

Is a two year plan a bad idea?

Only if it renews at a higher price without telling you. Check the renewal terms first.

Has anyone audited Royal Key?

No. We would rather say so than hint otherwise.

Do UK cooling off rights cover VPN subscriptions?

Most online subscriptions bought here carry a cooling off period. It does not help with a renewal two years later.

How do I judge speed fairly?

On your own line, at your own busy hour, during a trial.

Still unsure?

Support and your key live in the same Telegram bot. The setup page shows which client to install.
