To be fair, Spotflux is little more specific on logging – it will hand over information when directed by a court, but 'since Spotflux keeps limited to no logs, the amount of information available to law enforcement is very limited'. Spotflux could also 'discriminate against devices, protocols, or applications', 'throttle user connections' and 'purposely timeout user connections' if 'they are determined by Spotflux to be harmful to the Services or illegal'.

There might be packet inspection of user traffic to prevent malware or trackers. Spotflux's Privacy Policy is a little better organised than most of its VPN rivals, and makes real efforts to tell you what you want to know: the data the company collects, how it's used, shared and so on. You don't need to provide an email address to install or use the software, and if you do decide to upgrade, there's a Bitcoin payment option as well as PayPal and credit card.

Want to try before you buy? That makes sense, and Spotflux offers a generous 3 day trial of the full Premium service.
