Boost Internet Security With These iPhone-Friendly VPNs

Ever had a conversation with someone, only to find the topic of conversation popping up on your Facebook feed a few hours later? This is the reason why a whopping 90% of internet users are concerned about their internet security. According to research, only 3% of internet users now trust Facebook thanks to the Cambridge Analytica debacle. One of the ways internet users can enjoy some form of anonymity when browsing the internet is with a VPN. For iPhone users, the hunt is on to find a VPN that runs smoothly on iOS devices.

Low-Cost Options For The Frugal

There are some terrific VPM providers out there that provide decent service at low costs. Those who happen to come in under the $4 mark tend to also enjoy high rankings from users. These include NordVPN, Private Internet Access VPN, and IPVanish VPN. An added bonus for those who happen to choose the Private Internet Access VPN, is the built-in ad blocker. Internet users might also want to check out whether they have the right VPN for their particular use. Frequent travelers, for instance, might be better off signing up for KeepSolid VPN Unlimited, while those who frequent torrent sites will make better use of TorGuard VPN. For newbies, TunnelBear VPN and Hide My Ass VPN seem to be top picks.

Stop The Tracking

While internet browsing app Opera has managed to woo its fans with the release of a free VPN service, it’s not the only thing great about this VPN. It also happens to incorporate an ad tracker blocker, which means browsing the net won’t conjure up relentless ads of items you’ve browsed before. The use of a VPN for the user thus has a dual function: for privacy and to bypass streaming services, or at least, those who allow it. While the service might work for the majority of sites, there are service providers who will stop their services if a VPN is detected, such as streaming services. While streaming services might give these VPNs a hard time, others allow users to still continue torrenting.

Be Safe, Even In Public

Despite a bit of controversy where HotSpot Shield is concerned, this VPN provider has proven why it still deserves to rank high in the VPN list. For public Wi-Fi spots, this is one of the best options to have. Not only does it provide coverage for the various browsers, it also allows 45-day money back guarantee for those who aren’t 100% sure that this is the best VPN for them. Another one that ranks high on the list is CyberGhost VPN. An added feature of this particular one is that it supports Linux, which very few other VPN providers do. As with many of the top VPNs, users can expect a fast and effective killswitch.

The search for the perfect VPN relies mainly on the application of the user, and it may take some trial and error to find the perfect fit. For users, it’s important to play it safe and ensure that the provider has good ratings and meets the required safety criteria before installing it on the device.
