What is a no-logs policy and how to check it
A no-logs claim is only as good as what's actually running behind it. IGuard is built on infrastructure designed to have nothing to log in the first place - not just a policy promising it won't look.
"No-logs" is a claim, not a guarantee
Any provider can put "no-logs" on a landing page. What matters is whether the infrastructure behind it is even capable of logging in the first place - a policy is only as strong as the systems enforcing it.
What can actually be logged
Connection timestamps, source IP, bandwidth used, and even DNS queries can all be recorded independently of a "no browsing history" promise. A vendor can be telling the truth about one category while quietly keeping another.
Independent audits matter more than marketing copy
Third-party security firms can inspect server configurations and confirm whether persistent storage exists at all. Providers that run RAM-only servers have nothing to hand over even if compelled by a court order.
Jurisdiction changes what "no-logs" can survive
A no-logs policy operating under a country with mandatory data-retention laws is a contradiction. Where a company is legally based determines whether the policy can actually hold up.
Your checklist before you trust the claim
- Has the no-logs claim been independently audited?
- Does the provider run RAM-only or diskless servers?
- What jurisdiction is the company legally based in?
- Is the audit report public, or just referenced?
