ZenGuard VPN — full review
Audited no-logs • WireGuard speed • Great apps for everyday privacy
Verdict
ZenGuard is the easiest “set-and-forget” VPN we tested. It combines independently audited no-logs, consistently fast WireGuard speeds, and polished apps with sensible defaults. It’s the one we recommend to most people who want privacy without fiddling.
What we liked
- No-logs policy with recent third-party audit
- WireGuard on by default; stable OpenVPN fallback
- Fast in US/EU; low latency for 4K streaming
- Reliable streaming unlock (Netflix, Prime, iPlayer)
- Clean apps, great kill switch, split tunneling
- RAM-only servers; modern ciphers; IPv6 support
What could be better
- No port forwarding (power users may miss this)
- Static residential IPs not available
- Linux app is functional but basic
Quick specs
Security & privacy
ZenGuard follows modern best practices: RAM-disk servers (wipes on reboot), no-logs with a recent independent audit, and strong defaults (WireGuard + kill switch). DNS is handled on-net with leak protection. Split tunneling is available on desktop and Android. Obfuscated (“stealth”) servers help in restrictive networks.
- Kill switch: system-level; blocks on handshake drops
- Custom DNS with leak protection; IPv6 supported
- Optional multi-hop and custom DNS per profile
- In-app tracker blocker (lightweight)
Speed & streaming
WireGuard delivers consistently high throughput on nearby servers; long-haul speeds remain usable. Streaming unlocks worked across Netflix regions, Prime Video, and BBC iPlayer during testing.
