Score derivation
VPN Cat
Under the Default (evidence-weighted) weighting, VPN Cat scores 6.9 on the 32% of our methodology we hold evidence for, provably between 2.22 (every unmeasured dimension at its worst) and 8.67 (every one at its published maximum).
provably between 2.22 and 8.67
Weighting: Default (evidence-weighted). Weights are allocated toward what this site independently verifies. Speed and streaming are vendor-claimed rather than measured here, so they carry roughly half the weight the industry standard assigns them; that weight moves to privacy, transparency and server authenticity, all of which are checked against primary documents or our own probe network.
How the headline is summed

| Totals | 1.00 | 2.216 | 8.666 |
Floor 2.216 is the value column summed; potential 8.666 credits each unscored dimension at its ceiling instead. Renormalising the floor over the 32% that scored gives 6.93, held at or below the potential to publish 6.9.

Reading the derivation
- Measured
- We produced this number ourselves and can reproduce it.
- Documented
- Read out of a primary document: a privacy policy, an audit report, or source code.
- Vendor-claimed
- Asserted by the provider. We have not independently verified it, and the score is capped accordingly.
- No evidence
- We found nothing to score. The dimension is excluded from the weighted mean rather than counted as zero.
A ✓ is a rule we checked that found nothing wrong, for a no-logs provider that is the point, not an absence of news. A “not disclosed” line is a negative we scored and cited; a “not assessed” line is our own gap, which lowers coverage but costs the provider nothing. Every score here is a published-formula reading of the published evidence.
