A VPN, or a Virtual Private Network, is a great tool to protect your privacy and security while you use the internet. Whether you're at home or using public Wi-Fi while traveling, the best combine great pricing with security features and privacy guarantees that make them worth your trust.

Private Internet Access

Private Internet Access is one of our favorite VPN service providers, and based on the number of nominations they picked up, they're one of yours as well. PIA is one of those VPN service providers that both protects your privacy and security by encrypting all of the traffic between your home computer (or home network) and their service, but also anonymizes it and helps you get around regional content restrictions by giving you a choice of exit servers (close to 1000, in 10 different countries.) PIA doesn't log data about your session or connection details, they don't discriminate against protocols or IP addresses, and they don't host any data about its users activities at all. They support a number of different authentication and encryption methods, support virtually every mobile and desktop operating system, and their pricing isn't bad either 

TorGuard


TorGuard's claim to fame is that they offer specific types of servers for different activities. That gives you the ability to connect to torrent-friendly services if you need to download something, encryption and anonymity-friendly servers if you just need a little privacy and security, and so on. They're also one of the few VPN service providers to take DNS leaking seriously, and they even offer their own test to make sure that your VPN—even if you don't use them—isn't leaking DNS and thus information you thought was secure.

Those of you who praised TorGuard in the call for contenders thread noted that they have "Stealth" VPN servers to protect you against deep packet inspection (a technique used to capture and systematically decrypt or inspect encrypted data, usually used by corporate networks, university networks, or specific "agencies.") You also noted that they support OpenVPN, help you get connected via your home network, and have great customer service. 

IPVanish VPN


 IPVanish takes an interesting approach to privacy and security. They use shared IP addresses, so when they say no one has any idea what you're doing when you're connected, they mean it. That doesn't mean they're compromising security though—they have over 14,0000 IPs to share on over a hundred exit servers in 47 different countries. You can choose where you'd prefer to connect, which again is perfect for getting around location restrictions, and their encryption makes sure your traffic is safe from prying eyes. They support OS X, Windows, and Ubuntu (although it wouldn't be too hard to stretch that to other distributions), along with iOS and Android, and they offer configuration utilities so you can set you home router to connect to them as well. 

 IPVanish earned high praise in the call for contenders thread for its speed while connected. How they manage to do it is impressive, but the service manages to hold itself to a high standard of privacy and security while giving you breakneck speeds that you may not be accustomed to with a VPN. The service proudly notes that they're happy with you streaming video or music while you're connected to get around pesky content blocks, especially if you're an expat who's currently abroad but wishes they could see their favorite TV shows back home or make use of their streaming music subscription.

CyberGhost VPN

CyberGhost has been around for a long time, and while we've mentioned them before, they made a great showing in the call for contenders thread. Like any good, trustworthy VPN provider, they both encrypt all of the data that passes through your connection and anonymize your location. They offer free and paid subscription plans, so if you just need a little security on the go, you may be able to get away with a free account. The service just went through a massive overhaul about a year ago, where they removed traffic and bandwidth restrictions for free accounts, and improved security from the ground up. CyberGhost doesn't log any traffic, and they don't monitor what you're doing while you're connected. 

 ExpressVPN


ExpressVPN has been in the business for a number of years now and it’s no surprise that they rank at number 1 or 2 in most of our lists. They have servers across 39 countries in the world with great speeds across the whole network.
On top of this they have fantastic clients both for mobile and desktop devices, which means you can protect your internet connection no matter where your based, or what device you’re using. Alongside this they provided detailed and easy to follow set-up instructions for many other platforms and routers too.
ExpessVPN keeps no usage logs and there is a very generous 30 day money back guarantee to get you started. Pricing is not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for, and ExpressVPN delivers.


VyprVPN is a large provider run by global consortium Golden Frog (who have recently legally moved to Switzerland, giving them more freedom and non-US jurisdiction), with servers in 38 countries worldwide. It has simple but effective Windows and OSX clients, and very nice Android and iOS apps. Linux is also supported. 2 devices (or 3 for the premier package) can be connected at once, and the very good 160-bit to 256-bit OpenVPN encryption. Note that these comments apply to the Pro service, not the PPTP-only Basic plan, which is not really secure and so should be avoided. They do keep connection logs, but no usage logs.
VyprVPN own their own networks and data centers, which is not something many VPNs can boast, giving them excellent speeds and control over their service. They’ve also built their own protocol called “chameleon” which can hide the fact that you are using a VPN completely, which is very useful in places like China.

This Malaysian based provider gets our number five spot because it is an excellent choice for users in China and throughout the Far East. It keeps no logs and has an excellent OSX and Windows VPN client, which while having a bit of steep learning curve, has a wealth of connection options, including to ‘cloaked routers’ in Hong Kong and the US East Coast (excellent for users in mainland China). Super-fast, BolehVPN is also happy to allow P2P downloading.
