Want to protect your identity and privacy online? You’ll need a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service, which allows a secure connection to the Internet. VPNs let you change your IP address, prevent eavesdropping, and avoid being targeted by online advertisers.
When selecting a service, consider reputation, performance, type of encryption used, ease of use, transparency, support, and extra features. For instance, you want a clear privacy policy and access to troubleshooting support.
PC Mag rates several VPN options, and gives top honors to Private Internet Access and NordVPN. Also recommended are TorGuard and Hotspot Shield Elite, among others.
