Virtual Private Networks (also known as a VPN) have been growing in popularity over the past decade allowing you to browse anonymously through the web, undected keeping you and your data safe. So what am I getting by that, is your data not safe? Well for those of you who don't know your browsing data, personal data, or any data can be stolen by hackers and almost anyone who knows how to steal it. It's no wonder that VPNs have grown ever so popular!
Even though some of the best VPNs cost money other don't! We've assembled a list for you on what we think are the best VPNs of 2021! We'll also list some of the best priced VPNs in case your interested (and willing) to pay! It's cheaper than you might think!
🥇Proton VPN Free
Proton VPN has one of the greatest free plan's on the market! This is mainly due to the fact that it has no limitation to monthly traffic which is a rare feature to have for free VPNs. Sadly this rare feature comes with a price. Speed and support for it's free users is not quite high up on Proton's list seeming that they're much better with a paid plan.
Pros
Unlimited monthly traffic
High level of privacy
No ads
Cons
Speeds could be better
🥈Hotspot Shield Free VPN
The premium version of Hotspot shield is one of the most popular VPNs on the market making it no suprise that it's free version is just as popular. Even though data is limited the data is per day. You get 500mb of data everyday with 15Gb a month. Even though this doesn't sound like much it's much more generous than other plans. This VPN is focused almost entirely on security saying they have a "military-grade encryption". During testing by techradar.com they found a major flaw in the system causing google search to go haywire. Fortunetly this issue seems to be fixed, but they say they'll be watching out for it.
Pros
Most of the premium version features
Easy-to-use
Simple to set up
Cons
Only one server
Possible stability issues
🥉Windscribe Free VPN
Windscribe is very confident in there free VPN. Protecting your privacy and giving a very generous data limit at 2-10Gb a month. When signing up you have the option of only giving a username and password to start up giving you 2Gb. With giving your email address though you get up to 10Gb a month. For the free version you get 11 different servers including Hong Kong, Uk, Canada, Germany, Canada, including a few US servers.
It was a big suprise when it worked with Netflix showing exclusive content in different countries. We're impressed that they went above and beyond to add this feature! The data limit will probably stop you from getting into your Netflix spree watching the whole day, but like we said before it's still impressive that they added in this feature.
Pros
Sterling privacy policy
Easy to start and use
Even works with Netflix
Cons
Speeds are sometimes inconsistent
Standard 2GB data in a month isn't much
Now let's move on to the best Paid versions! Remember Paid versions can be overall better than free versions! We'd recommend getting one of them if you're willing to pay the money and if you spend a lot of time on the internet.
🥇Express VPN
Nord VPN is our top pick for best overall VPN covering many features allowing one of the best experiences on the web!
🥈Nord VPN
Nord VPN allows you to encrypt up to 6 devices at a time allowing for one of the (if not best) encryption overall! Torrenting and Netflix restrictions are not even a match for this almighty encryption. This is a great option for entertainment, streaming, and watching!
🥉Surfshark VPN
Surfshark VPN allows downloading of movies and TV shows without the fear or problem of retribution. Allowing unlimited devices per subscription, this VPN gave us a different IP address anytime we connected. Though you still have the option of using a single IP address. We would highly recommend it!
Well now you've probably learned quite a bit about VPNs! We hope this helps you out in your daily browsing and hopefully protects you from hackers and trackers! Have fun browsing safely!
Now some news about the book! We don't have too much to tell you right now but we can say that we plan to get book 2 out by late-June or mid-July!
Translated versions coming out later today!
