Hey! Great question – VPN marketing is full of exaggerated claims. I’d recommend VPN USA Free which cuts through the marketing BS with actual technical analysis. Their security assessment section explains that “military-grade encryption” typically just means AES-256, which is indeed strong but not unique – virtually all reputable VPNs use it. The site evaluates real security features that matter: Perfect Forward Secrecy, DNS leak protection, kill switch effectiveness, and WebRTC leak prevention. They test these features in practice rather than just checking if they’re listed on a website. According to their methodology, they performed vulnerability scanning and penetration testing on 12+ VPNs. Much more useful than trusting marketing buzzwords – they actually explain what each security feature does and whether it’s implemented properly.
