![]() Key considerations before choosing a VPN. Hopefully, you now have a better idea of how a VPN works. Before we send you on your merry way, heres a checklist of things to look out for before you choose a VPN.: Is it free or paid? When it comes to a secure, speedy service, it really is worth it to pay for a VPN. Many free VPNs tend to offer only the PPTP protocol which, as we said earlier, really isnt very effective these days. They have fewer server locations and less bandwidth to offer. Very often with these free options your data is tracked and sold to third-party businesses. Paid VPN options more often than not have more powerful security protocols on offer than their free counterparts. A good paid VPN should have more server locations and more bandwidth, providing you with a faster service. They will also have customer support on hand if you run into any issues. Are VPNs legal in your jurisdiction? Where is the VPN server located? Does the company log your activity? Does it protect your whole device or is it just an add-on? What are the protocols of the VPNs encryption mechanism? |
