Disclaimer; I'm not looking for a VPN service, I already have one. I know TechRadar is not a great source too. I am simply doing research around VPNs in general.

I am just wondering why DDG is suggesting this link over a link without a reference? Is this "the blame" of DDG or Techradar? Trying to understand why this is the link being served over others. Appriciate any suggestions.

My suspicion is that DDG’s crawler looks similar enough to other crawlers and that’s the URL the crawler was provided.

I agree but this thing could be cleaned on DDG’s side.
