Frequently Asked Questions
Do affiliate commissions affect your recommendations?
Our recommendations are based on independent testing, technical analysis, and real-world performance evaluation. While we participate in affiliate programs, we maintain strict separation between our editorial content and monetization. We disclose when products we review participate in our affiliate program, and we evaluate all products using the same objective criteria regardless of commission structure.
Can I trust your reviews if you earn commissions?
We believe our transparency about commissions actually increases trustworthiness. Unlike many publications that hide their monetization, we're open about how we operate. Our long-term credibility depends on providing accurate, helpful information—if we recommended inferior products for higher commissions, readers would quickly notice and our reputation would suffer. We prioritize being a reliable resource over short-term affiliate earnings.
Will I pay more if I use your affiliate links?
No. The price you pay is identical whether you use our links or go directly to the provider. In many cases, our affiliate links may provide exclusive discounts or special offers not available through direct signup. We never endorse products that charge more through affiliate links, and we regularly verify that our readers receive the same or better pricing through our recommendations.
How can I support GoSecureVPN without using affiliate links?
While using our affiliate links is the primary way readers support our work, you can also help by sharing our content with others who might find it valuable, providing feedback to help us improve, or engaging with our community. Our goal is to provide useful information whether or not readers choose to use our affiliate links.
