Tell your story
VPN-Uptime is an independent monitoring project built by engineers from the world’s most restricted environments — including China, Iran, Russia, the UAE, Egypt, Turkey, Qatar, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia.
Our team comes from regions where reliable access to the global internet is never guaranteed, and where censorship technologies evolve faster than most VPN providers can keep up.
Because of this, we understand the challenges better than anyone.
Fly freely across the internet, unbound like a bird.
Who We Are
We are a group of computer-science-trained engineers, network researchers, and security analysts with years of experience dealing with AI-based blocking, deep packet inspection (DPI), and real-world censorship systems.
Our backgrounds include:
- Computer Science and Network Engineering
- Cybersecurity research
- Large-scale distributed monitoring
- Real-world testing inside restricted regions
- Cross-country protocol analysis
Unlike typical review websites run from the US or Europe, our team members live in — or have lived in — the restricted regions we monitor.
We know exactly how the Great Firewall, Middle Eastern filtering systems, and regional censorship frameworks behave in real life.
What Makes Us Different
1. We use real devices inside real regions.
Most VPN review sites test from outside the country using:
Simulated traffic
Proxy tunnels
Cloud servers pretending to imitate censorship
These methods do not reflect real-world conditions.
We test using actual devices physically located inside China, Iran, Russia, the UAE, Egypt, Turkey, Qatar, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia.
Phones, laptops, home broadband connections — the same environment real users rely on every day.
This is the only way to know whether a VPN truly works.
2. We monitor continuously, not occasionally.
Many sites test VPNs once a month and publish outdated results.
We run continuous, real-time monitoring, checking:
- Uptime
- Connection reliability
- Protocol survival rates
- Speed and stability
- Failure patterns during block waves
- AI fingerprinting impacts
Our data updates automatically as conditions change.

3. We are independent — no sponsorship, no paid rankings.
Most VPN comparison sites earn money by promoting big VPN brands.
Their rankings are influenced by commissions, not real performance.
VPN-Uptime accepts no payments from VPN providers.
No sponsorships, no affiliate bias, no “recommended” ads.
Our only goal is accuracy.
4. We expose fake claims with real data.
If a VPN says it “works in China,” we verify it.
If a VPN says it “bypasses AI blocking,” we test it.
If a VPN claims “99% uptime,” we track it.
If it fails — we show the failure publicly.
Transparency is the foundation of this project.
Why We Built VPN-Uptime
Millions of travelers, students, business users, and expats arrive in restricted regions only to discover that their VPN:
- won’t connect
- disconnects instantly
- is blocked by AI fingerprinting
- was lying about its “China Available”
This can leave people completely cut off from the global internet.
Our mission is simple:
Help people avoid fake claims — and choose VPNs that actually work.
Through real-time data, on-device testing, and continuous monitoring, we provide the truth that VPN companies will not tell you.
Our Commitment
- Honest data
- Real testing environments
- No paid influence
- Transparency in results
- Continuous updates
- Global testing coverage
If a VPN works, we show it.
If it fails, we show it.
No excuses, no marketing fluff — just reality backed by live monitoring.
