Editorial Policy

This policy explains how Fold port chooses topics, researches them, and keeps them accurate. It applies
to every article and guide we publish across all four language editions.

How we choose topics

We start from real reader situations — travel, relocation, remote work, streaming access, and privacy
on shared networks — and prioritise questions that are widely asked but poorly answered elsewhere.

Sourcing standards

Factual claims are anchored to primary sources. For Fold port that means, wherever possible:

  • official help centres, regional availability pages, and terms of service of the platforms we discuss
    (for example streaming and messaging services);
  • regulators, government bodies, and official announcements for anything touching law or policy;
  • recognised connectivity and network statistics (such as widely cited speed-test and mobile-industry
    data) for performance and coverage figures;
  • VPN providers’ own published specifications and supported-country lists for product facts.

We avoid stating prices, coverage, or availability as fact without a citable source, because these
details change frequently.

Verification and testing

Where a claim can be checked directly, we check it, and we describe what we observed rather than what a
vendor promises. When a fact cannot be independently verified, we say so.

Corrections and updates

VPN performance, streaming catalogues, prices, and regulations move quickly. We revisit guides as
conditions change, and we correct errors promptly when they are reported. If you spot something wrong or
out of date, please tell us through our contact form.

Advertising and affiliate independence

Fold port earns revenue from advertising and from affiliate commissions. Neither influences our
editorial judgement: we do not sell favourable coverage, and advertisers and affiliate partners do not
see articles before they are published. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

Authorship

Our content is produced and reviewed by Fold port’s editorial team, coordinated by our editor-in-chief.
Each language edition has a named author whose background and focus areas are described on their author
page (for example 日本語, English,
Deutsch, 简体中文).
