X-VPN completed its independent no-logs audit conducted by one of the Big Four auditing firms under ISAE 3000 (Revised) on February 28, 2026. The audit focused on X-VPN’s Privacy Policy statements related to user data handling and corresponding practices.
According to the audit result, X-VPN does not track, collect, or store data that could be used to identify users or determine what they do online. For readers, the takeaway is straightforward: this is about whether a VPN’s privacy claims are supported not only by policy language, but also by how the service is designed, operated, and governed in practice.

Why No-Logs Claims Matter To VPN Users
No-logs has become one of the most common promises in the VPN industry. But for users, the value of that promise is not in the phrase itself. It is in what it means in practice.
When you use a VPN, you are not only choosing a tool for encrypted browsing or broader online access. You are also deciding how much trust to place in the provider behind it. That makes one question especially important: if someone asked the provider for information about your activity, would that information exist in the first place?
That is why a verified no-logs position carries more weight than a simple marketing statement. It helps move the conversation from what a company says to what it can support with independent review and clearly stated controls. In a category where many services make similar claims, that distinction matters.
What X-VPN Does Not Collect
X-VPN
According to the audit result, X-VPN does not track, collect, or store data that could be used to identify users or determine what they do online. This includes:
- user IP addresses
- destination IP addresses
- websites visited
- browsing history
- VPN servers information
- DNS queries
- downloaded content
- connection timestamps
- Sensitive payment details
The same no-logs policy also applies to X-VPN’s free version, meaning it does not collect or retain the categories of activity-related data listed above either.
For ordinary users, that list matters because it translates “no-logs” into something concrete. Instead of relying on a broad promise, readers can see the types of activity-related data X-VPN does not retain.
How X-VPN Supports Its Privacy Position In Practice
X-VPN’s no-logs commitment is supported not only by policy language, but also by the way the service is built and managed in practice. As part of the independent audit, this included several areas that help explain how that works for users:
No Collection or Logging
X-VPN does not collect or record network communication or connection-related data generated by users through the VPN service. That position is supported by RAM-only servers and by redirecting all service outputs to /dev/null, so such output is discarded rather than retained as logs.
Minimal user and payment data handling
X-VPN processes only the minimum user information needed to provide the service, including an email address, an encrypted password, basic billing information limited to an order ID, and historical order records. It also notes that users may sign up with an alias or disposable email address.
Privacy and Security Compliance Across Technical Operations
Production servers are managed through a predefined automation system, all code changes are managed through a version-controlled CI/CD pipeline, and Database access is protected using encrypted transmission.
Privacy Policy and governance alignment
X-VPN’s Privacy Policy is maintained to accurately reflect system operations and data processing practices, and the review, update, and publication processes are traceable and verifiable.
DPO Group oversight
The Data Protection Officer (“DPO”) Group operates with independence and traceability, providing ongoing oversight over privacy governance aligned with the no-logs principles.
Taken together, these areas help show that X-VPN’s no-logs position is supported not just by a statement on a webpage, but by the way the service is operated behind the scenes.
Why This Audit Is Part Of a Broader Transparency Effort
X-VPN
X-VPN says this audit should not be viewed as a one-off announcement, but as part of a broader long-term effort around transparency, regular audit, and continuous improvement.
In that sense, the audit is not only about the company’s current no-logs position. It also helps establish a stronger foundation for future transparency work, including continued compliance and security governance, future audit-related updates, and ongoing improvements in privacy and security practices.
X-VPN also frames this as part of a longer-term response to the questions users and the wider market continue to raise around privacy, security gaps, and information blind spots. The company says it aims to answer those concerns through continued action and continued updates that users can follow over time.
More Recent Privacy And Security Improvements From X-VPN
Beyond the audit itself, X-VPN has also recently introduced new privacy-focused features. These include post-quantum encryption for more future-focused protection, Tor over VPN for users who want an extra privacy layer, and Invisible on LAN for reducing device visibility on shared Wi-Fi. Together, these additions help show that X-VPN’s privacy and security work is continuing at the product level as well, not just in policy language.
