DuckDuckGo VPN Privacy Audited: No Logs Confirmed
17 Apr
Summary
- Securitum audited DuckDuckGo's VPN for privacy assurances.
- Audit confirmed no user-identifiable data collection or retention.
- New audit focuses on privacy, appealing to privacy-conscious users.
DuckDuckGo's Virtual Private Network (VPN) has undergone a rigorous "no-log policy audit" by independent cybersecurity firm Securitum. The audit, which took place from October 2025 to January 2026, involved a thorough technical inspection and source code review.
Results from the audit, announced in early 2026, unequivocally confirm that DuckDuckGo's VPN does not track user browsing activity and adheres strictly to its no-log policy. This independent verification provides strong evidence that user-identifiable data is not collected or retained by the service.
This latest assessment specifically scrutinizes the privacy aspects of DuckDuckGo's VPN. The company also shared the full security report as a PDF, offering transparency. A previous audit in 2024 and subsequent retests in 2025 had already addressed security vulnerabilities.
The DuckDuckGo subscription package includes the VPN alongside other cybersecurity features like identity theft protection and data removal services, positioning it as a comprehensive bundle for privacy-conscious consumers.
