VPN testing method · Release 1

A fixed method for first-hand VPN evidence

Quick, Standard and Deep define what is tested, which proof is required and what the buyer receives. Every run keeps the exact method version it started with.

Structured evidence

Observation, proof and limitation stay connected

A result is not a free-form review. Each observation points to its method field and, where required, a sanitised evidence asset.

  • Environment: test date, market, device, OS and app version when available.
  • Measurements: structured timings, speeds and check outcomes with units.
  • Proof: dated PNG, JPEG or WebP captures attached to required steps.
  • Limitations: blocked, unavailable and not-tested states remain explicit.

Method versioning

The rules cannot change halfway through a test

  1. 01

    Publish

    A package points to one published method version.

  2. 02

    Lock

    The selected version is retained when the run starts.

  3. 03

    Preserve

    Later method updates never rewrite a historical result.

Attribution and disclosure

Readers can see who tested, when and how

Every system-generated output keeps the paid-test disclosure alongside the tester’s selected verified public profile, test date and method version.

Required disclosure

“Paid first-hand test performed by @handle via TestedBy.”

Social ownership verification means the tester controlled the attributed public profile when checked.

It does not prove legal identity, expertise, a universally repeatable outcome or a positive product verdict.
