By using vpnguide.nz you accept these terms. Please read them before you use the site. Their purpose is to make clear what the site is, and what it is not.

About the site
vpnguide.nz is an independent information site about VPNs, online security, privacy and home internet for readers in New Zealand. The site is represented by the website’s owner.
Our purpose is to provide neutral, fact-based information. We are not a VPN provider, an internet provider or a software vendor. We do not sell subscriptions, hold user accounts or take payments.
Information only, not advice
The content on vpnguide.nz is general information. It is not legal advice, and it is not professional IT security advice for your particular devices, network or business.
Where a guide compares or ranks products, it reflects the editorial team’s assessment of published information at the time of writing. It is not a personal recommendation. Whether a product suits you depends on your own needs, and the decision to buy or install anything is always yours.
Using VPNs and other tools lawfully
Using a VPN is legal in New Zealand, but a VPN does not make an unlawful activity lawful. Copyright law applies in the same way with or without one.
Using a VPN to reach a service from another region may breach that service’s own terms. Some banks and online services also restrict or challenge connections that come through a VPN. You are responsible for how you use any tool or service described on this site, and for checking the terms of the services you use.
Limitation of liability
We work to keep information accurate and current, and we check it against reliable sources. Even so, details can become outdated or contain errors, for example when a provider changes its prices, plans, server locations or features.
We therefore give no guarantee that the content is always complete, correct or up to date. Prices, features, speeds and legal details should always be confirmed with the provider or the official source before you act on them.
No security product removes risk entirely, and nothing on this site is a promise that a product will keep you safe or private in every situation.
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage that results from relying on information on the site. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under New Zealand law that cannot be excluded.
Tools on the site
Some pages include free tools, such as a speed test, an IP address check or a password checker. They are provided as they are, for general guidance. Results depend on your device, your browser and your connection at the time, and should be treated as indications rather than exact measurements. How these tools handle information is described in our privacy policy.
Links to other websites
The site contains links to external websites, such as software providers, internet providers, government agencies and online safety organisations. We are not responsible for the content of those sites or for how they handle personal information.
A link to an external site means we consider it a relevant source of further information. It is not an endorsement.
Intellectual property
The content on vpnguide.nz, including text and graphics, belongs to the website’s owner unless otherwise stated. Product names, logos and trademarks mentioned on the site belong to their respective owners and are used only to identify the products discussed.
You are welcome to link to our pages and to quote short passages with a link to the source. Content may not otherwise be copied or republished without permission.
How our content is produced
Parts of our content are produced with the help of AI tools and reviewed by a human editor before publication. Our AI policy explains the process.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The current version is always published on this page with the date it was last updated. By continuing to use the site you accept the terms that apply at the time.
If you have questions about these terms, you are welcome to get in touch through our contact page. Our privacy policy and cookie policy explain how personal information and cookies are handled.
