VPNs are a mess. It's becoming a very commercial market, and companies are bought up by less reputable and bigger ones, making it hard to know what to trust.

The biggest pain points when researching a good VPN are:

- Sponsored content / Ads

- Fake reviews

- It takes time

- Inconsistent metrics and info across sites

To make finding a good VPN even easier, we've aggregated over 500 online reviews, 3k Reddit posts, 4k HackerNews posts, and 400 Youtube videos.

## How it works

Using GPT-3 and BERT, we've built a service that collects VPN reviews from all over the web, filters and aggregates them, and presents the summarized results in a short and understandable form.

## What's next?

We're constantly improving SeekVPN and will soon add new features like:

- Building a community for VPN enthusiasts that helps each other

- Running statistical analysis to spot discrepancies and contradictions among reviews and filter out fake reviews

- Increase catalog and add more filters

- Improve summaries (pros and cons style)

We eventually plan to do our analysis for other categories of SaaS products. It should become the Rotten-Tomatoes for software products.

Let us know what you think! What should we add or improve?
