Protect Your Online Privacy With the 5 Best VPNs
In the modern world, companies and government agencies across the globe are constantly keeping an eye on our daily Internet activities. Whether it be for advertising purposes, research, or something else, there comes a point that everyone starts to wonder about how safe it is openly present so much of themselves to the world at large. Fortunately, there is a simple solution for those of us that wish to limit how much information about ourselves we expose to the world. VPNs offer users a high degree of privacy and anonymity by relaying all of your Internet traffic through servers that are shared with thousands of other individuals. This makes it impossible for anyone watching your Internet traffic to know what websites you are visiting and what information is being transferred to and from your computer. Below we’ve listed five of the best VPN services available that offer excellent performance and features for your everyday use.
NordVPN
Private Internet Access VPN
TunnelBear VPN
IPVanish VPN
ProtonVPN
ProtonVPN is by far the smallest VPN service provider to make this list. It has fewer than 500 servers, the majority of which are in the United States. It’s lacking in features, too, as there’s no built-in ad blocker. To make things worse, it’s relatively slow. By now you are probably wondering why this service is on the list if it’s so bad, and the short answer is because it’s free. ProtonVPN has no data or speed limitations and there are no advertisements embedded in the software. Naturally, as a VPN, the company also doesn’t log your online activity and it’s relatively safe. This makes ProtonVPN an excellent service if you just want to try out a VPN for the first time or if you just want to use it for limited purposes. If you decide you like the service, you can upgrade to an inexpensive monthly plan that supports two devices and better performance for just $4 a month. • Free or $4 per month, $48 per year • Learn more at PCMag • Buy ProtonVPN
