Lists decide the sale
Commercial VPN queries are dominated by roundup and comparison pages. A place on the right list often moves more subscriptions than another guest post — so we treat list placements as a core product, not an extra.

VPN link building, from a team that knows the niche.
VPN is one of the hardest link niches online. Good editors are pitched constantly, and many of the sites offering links to VPN brands are farms. We know the publications that still carry weight — in English, German, French and beyond.
What we know
What we know about building links for a VPN.
Geography is everything
A VPN link from a site whose readers live in the wrong country does very little. We check every site's top countries and build per market, not per language.
Editors are pitch-weary
Generic “why you need a VPN” pitches get ignored. We pitch angles readers actually search for — streaming abroad, public Wi-Fi, travel, privacy laws, gaming — so the content earns its place.
The niche is full of footprints
PBNs, rebuilt expired domains and “write for us” mills target VPN buyers specifically. The Miran Gate exists to keep them off your list.
Angles we pitch
Content editors say yes to.
The angle decides whether an editor accepts the piece and whether readers click. These are the topics we build around for this sector.
- Streaming abroad
- Travel & hotel Wi-Fi
- Public Wi-Fi safety
- Online privacy laws
- Remote work security
- Gaming & latency
- Internet censorship
- Online banking & shopping
- Students & campus networks
- Smart home security
- Kids’ online safety
- Sports streaming

Questions
For vpn & privacy.
Do you work with competing VPN brands?
We work with more than one VPN brand. We never share one client's data, orders, targets or strategy with another, and every engagement is confidential.
Can you get us onto “best VPN” lists?
Yes — it is our flagship placement. We map the “best VPN” and “best VPN for streaming, gaming or travel” pages that rank in each of your markets, show you the position on offer and the page's data, and you approve before anything is bought.
Do you build VPN links in German and French?
Yes. German- and French-speaking markets are core markets for us, with local publications pitched in their own language. See our markets page for details.
Which markets do VPN brands usually start with?
Usually the US and UK, then German- and French-speaking markets, where local comparison pages are less crowded. We build per market, based on where your subscribers are.
Which languages and markets do you cover?
English, German and French are our core markets, with an inventory we maintain continuously. We also work in any other language on request — Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Japanese and more. We source and pitch publications in their own language.
Do you keep our work confidential?
Yes. We never name clients publicly or disclose which sites we placed for whom. We are happy to sign your NDA before you share a brief.
