There’s plenty to consider when selecting a VPN, from price and speed to more nuanced factors like privacy policies and the number of simultaneous connections. It’s not all about the features available – the most important factor is whether the service works in the way it was intended to.

PIA offers a feature-rich, highly capable VPN that offers great value for the money. It has excellent connection speeds and is accessible on many devices and also comes with the handy feature of split tunneling (allowing you to choose which apps will be run by the VPN). It’s also not based in a nation that’s a member of Five Eyes or Nine Eyes or 14 Eyes so you can be assured that your data is safe with these VPNs.

NordVPN is one of our top choices for a reasonable-priced VPN service. It comes with a variety of options that include the NordLynx Protocol and the capability to connect concurrently to multiple servers for increased security. It is a master at unblocking streaming and has a strong track record in terms of privacy, as demonstrated by audits of its no-logs policy.

Surfshark offers a broad range of connections with a broad geographic reach with hundreds servers and a simple interface. It is compatible with routers, Amazon Fire TV, Kodi TV and set-top boxes. A Chrome browser extension is also available. It’s one of the few VPNs to offer unlimited simultaneous connections – an impressive feat that could assist large families and offices protect all their devices at once.
