The 6 best VPNs to help keep you anonymous on the internet
Summary
There are a number of reasons why you might want to use a VPN, including but not limited to masking all of your internet traffic or accessing websites and services that may be blocked in certain countries (like in China). We recommend avoiding most free VPNs; their terms and conditions are usually total crap, or they come bundled with spyware, or the companies behind them might sell the data theyre logging from your usage. It bears mentioning that in March 2018, NordVPN suffered a breach when an attacker exploited an insecure remote management system at a Finnish data center from which the company was renting servers. It has since terminated its contract with said data center and taken active measures to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future; it plans to launch an independent external audit of its entire infrastructure next year. It should be noted that TorGuard suffered a breach similar to the one experienced by NordVPN in which an attacker gained unauthorized access to one of its servers at a third-party provider.
