Find out which VPN service is right for you, and whether you need to pay for the service, with this guide.
A virtual private network, or VPN, is the best tool to protect your personal information when online. The question is: which VPN is best for you? We have compared the best VPNs (both paid and free) in the UK to give you an answer.
A VPN is essentially a connection method used to boost the security and privacy of private and public networks, like the internet. VPNs are becoming more and more popular, as an increasing amount of our everyday life now takes place on the web.
So how exactly does a VPN work? Privacy is improved by replacing the user’s initial IP address with one from the VPN provider. Those subscribed to a VPN can obtain an IP address from any gateway city the VPN service provides. This means that your identity, and activity, is protected from prying eyes. Without a VPN you are basically cruising the online world exposed. A VPN keeps you covered up by hiding your IP address, hiding your location, and encrypting your data transfers.
