Trust.Zone: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Trust.Zone is a commercial VPN service that hides your IP address and encrypts your traffic, so that your internet provider sees only that you are connected to a VPN. It offers apps for Windows, Android and iOS; for other platforms such as Mac, Linux and routers you use third-party apps or configuration files. The service lists a kill switch, no P2P restrictions and a warrant canary. Supported protocols include WireGuard, OpenVPN and IKEv2.

The service's own website names no company or jurisdiction. The review site CyberInsider reports that it is operated by Trusted Solutions Ltd in the Seychelles, and that payments are received by Tersys Group OÜ in Estonia according to the terms of service. The privacy policy states that its VPN servers do not store log files; this is the provider's own claim, with no audit linked. Servers are spread over several countries; CyberInsider tested servers in Denmark, France, the United Kingdom and the United States. The software is proprietary. Choose server locations deliberately and assess these claims yourself.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Trust.Zone

Trust.Zone is headquartered in SC, outside the EU. Contracts and data therefore also fall under non-European law. The GDPR applies through contractual terms, but in a conflict with local legislation you have less certainty than with a European vendor.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Trust.Zone scores best on data residency.

Trust.Zone is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Trust.Zone together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
