The VPN Trust Initiative ("VTI")
Our Members Set the Standards for Ethical and Secure VPN Services
VPN Trust Initiative Members
The VPN Trust Initiative (VTI) is powered by an industry-led coalition of leading VPN providers committed to advancing privacy, security, and responsible innovation. Our members don’t just operate VPN services—they actively shape the future of the VPN industry through transparency, trust, and ethical standards.
Why Membership Matters
VTI members are pioneers of integrity in an often-misunderstood field. By joining forces, they set and uphold meaningful standards for VPNs that:
Protect user privacy and online freedom
Strengthen consumer confidence in VPN technology
Resist misguided regulation that undermines legitimate services
Advocate for smart, rights-respecting public policy
Demonstrate accountability through the VTI Trust Seal
The VPN Trust Seal
All VTI members are eligible to pursue the VPN Trust Seal—a public-facing symbol of adherence to five core principle areas:
Security, Privacy, Advertising Practices, Disclosure and Transparency, and Social Responsibility.
Displaying the Trust Seal signals to customers, regulators, and partners that your service meets the highest standards of ethical VPN operation.
