Private VPN Pro Paid VIP IP Unlimited Network 2019 V1.1 [Latest]

Thanks to its impressive performance and unlimited device support, Surfshark is our current top pick for the best iPhone VPN. ExpressVPN is a close second among our picks and offers a simple and effective iPhone VPN app. It isn't the cheapest, but it's among the fastest of all the VPN options. NordVPN, our third choice, is a die-hard heavy-hitter. It costs more than Surfshark but less than Express, has a network of servers that's constantly getting faster and more secure, and is easily the most reliable service we've tested. No matter which VPN you choose, however, keep in mind that recent independent research has emerged suggesting iOS (and some MacOS) users' browsing and internet data may still be sent to Apple despite the protections offered by an encrypted VPN tunnel. We will continue to update our recommendations as more information and research surface around this issue. "}},"@type":"Question","name":"What is a mobile VPN?","acceptedAnswer":"@type":"Answer","text":"Use a mobile-friendly VPN to avoid slower speeds and ensure greater data privacy for your whole device. Mobile VPNs generally have a smaller memory footprint, and require less processing power than desktop VPNs, so they run faster and save more battery. Our top three VPNs listed above all have excellent, easy-to-use mobile app options for their services. Some VPNs will only work with one type of platform -- like Apple or Android -- and some are universally compatible. To find the right mobile VPN for you, check out our other mobile-specific VPN guides below. We routinely update them with our retesting information so check back often. How to set up a VPN on your iPhone or Android phone, and why you need oneBest Android VPNs for 2022","@type":"Question","name":"What's the best free VPN?","acceptedAnswer":"@type":"Answer","text":"We don't recommend opting for a free VPN because they can be risky to use unless they are the free tier of service provided by a premium VPN. Free VPNs usually make money by selling user data, and some have even been found to be riddled with malware -- which is the exact opposite of what you want from a VPN. On top of that, free VPNs are often slow, impose restrictive usage and data limits, offer a minimal selection of servers and are generally less secure than paid VPNs. Most won't work with streaming services, either. Check out CNET's list of the best cheap VPNs if you want to find a premium, budget-friendly VPN.","@type":"Question","name":"Can you get in trouble for using a VPN?","acceptedAnswer":"@type":"Answer","text":"You normally don't have to worry about getting into any legal trouble just for using a VPN -- unless you're in a country like China or Iran where VPN use is banned or illegal. In most parts of the world, using a VPN is perfectly legal. If you're in a country where VPN use is restricted in any way, you'll need to connect to an obfuscated server. Doing so will disguise your VPN traffic as regular HTTPS internet traffic, so authorities won't know you're using a VPN in the first place. ","@type":"Question","name":"What does my ISP\/mobile carrier see when I'm connected to my VPN?","acceptedAnswer":"@type":"Answer","text":"Your internet service provider or mobile carrier (depending on whether you're connected to Wi-Fi or using mobile data) will see that you're connected to a VPN, but it will not be able to see any of your internet activity like the websites you visit or browsing history since your traffic is encrypted. It will also see things like the IP address of the VPN server you're connected to, the timestamps of when you're connected and the amount of data you've transmitted. If you want to hide your VPN usage from your ISP or mobile carrier, you can connect to an obfuscated server, if offered by your VPN.
