Frequently asked questions
▸How does a VPN money-back guarantee work?
You pay the full plan price upfront, then request a refund within the guarantee window (usually via live chat or a support ticket) if you decide not to keep the service. It is not a free trial: money leaves your account on day one, and some payment methods — commonly cash, gift cards, cryptocurrency and app-store purchases — are excluded from refunds.
▸Which VPN has the longest money-back guarantee?
CyberGhost currently offers the longest tracked refund window at 45 days (45 days on 6-month+ plans; 14 days on the 1-month plan). Most major providers offer 30 days.
▸Are VPN renewal charges refundable?
It varies by provider. Some refund renewal charges within the same window as new purchases; others only refund a first purchase. The table above lists each provider's renewal-refund rule next to its official policy link.
▸Is a money-back guarantee as good as a free trial?
It is riskier: you must pay first, remember the deadline, and actively request the refund. If you don't want to hand over payment details at all, use a real free trial or a free-forever plan instead — VPNUS keeps separate directories for both.
