European alternatives to NordVPN

Discover European-built tools you can use instead of NordVPN.

The options below are run by companies in Switzerland, Sweden and across the EU. They offer the same encrypted tunnels and worldwide servers. Several stand out for how much they publish: independent audits, open-source clients, and minimal accounts that aren't tied to your identity.
