Torrentfreak VPN Provider review 2015.

Does your company have a warrant canary or a similar solution to alert customers to gag orders?

"Since we are not operating under US law, in Malaysia there is no such thing as the Patriot Act. So far we haven’t been served with a court order or any governmental request and if it was the case we would be transparent with our customers that might have been affected by such court order." hide.me, Malaysia

"We do not have a warrant canary in place at this time as the concept of a warrant canary is, in fact, flawed at this time, or in other words, is "security theater." Private Internet Access, USA

"No, at this time we do not have a warrant canary." TorGuard, USA

"No. IPVanish, like every other company, follows the law in order to remain in business. Only US law applies." IPVanish, USA

"Yes absolutely, we’ve published a canary since August 2014." IVPN, Gibraltar

"We’re working on a solution where we publish a statement that we haven’t received legal process. One we receive a legal process, this canary statement is removed." PrivateVPN, Sweden

"Under current Swedish law there is no way for them to force us to secretly act against our users so a warrant canary would serve no purpose. Also, we would not continue to operate under such conditions anyway." Mullvad, Sweden

"Yes" BolehVPN, Malaysia

"We do not have a warrant canary or any other alert system, because as it was mentioned above, we operate under the laws of Panama and we guarantee that any information about our customers will not be distributed to any third party." NordVPN, Panama

"Yes, proxy.sh/canary." Proxy.sh, Seychelles

"Currently not. We will consider if our customers would welcome such a feature. So far we have never been asked for such information." HideIPVPN, USA

"No" BTGuard, USA

"Yes. We maintain a passive warrant canary, updated weekly, and are investigating a way to legally provide a passive warrant canary which will be customized on a “per user” basis, allowing each user to check their account status individually. It is important to note that the person(s) responsible for updating our warrant canary are located outside of any of the countries where our servers are located." SlickVPN, Offshore Holdings / USA Marketing Office (Mix)

"We are discussing internally and reviewing existing law related to how gag orders are issued to determine the best way to offer this measure of customer confidence." OctaneVPN, USA / Offshore (Mix)

"Yes, we do." LiquidVPN, USA

"Yes" VPN.S, Australia

"Since we are not bound by U.S. law, gag orders like National Security Letters do not apply to us. We would outright disclose any information of a possible problem to our users. As a last resort we would shut down our service before allowing our users to be compromised (e.g. like LavaBit)." Perfect Privacy, New Zealand

"Warrant canaries are new to us. We have not used one before since we are sure that all our users are safe. But we can start using it as an additional option to make our users sure that they are totally secure while using our service.", ShadeYou VPN, Netherlands

"Since we don’t have the information to provide to the agencies we do not require to have it." Hotspot Shield, USA

"We currently have no warrant canary." RAMVPN, USA

"Yes" Lokun, Iceland

"Irrelevant in our case." NexTGenVPN, Sychelles

"As our company is not based in the US, we do not need any warrant canary." Steganos, Germany

"Yes we do, for the newest canary see here." Ipredator, Sweden

"We are Indian based company, so not applicable." SwitchVPN.to, India

"We do not have any system such as a “warrant canary” for our users. There has been no situation that has required such measures." VPN Unlimited, USA

"Hong Kong does not have an equivalent to America’s NSLs and is unable to legally issue a gag order. Since none of the BlackVPN team are in Hong Kong it’s difficult for them to intimidate us that way." BlackVPN, Hong Kong

"Anonymizer does not use a warrant canary or similar solution to gag orders as we feel they are largely ineffective and offer a false sense of security." Anonymizer, USA

"Sorry but I do not have information on that." ExpressVPN, USA
