VPNs Reviews

Hide.Me Free is okay for light browsing, but its throttled speeds make it difficult to recommend when there are more flexible free services around

VPN Proton VPN Free is seriously powerful, and its unlimited data cap is unrivalled. However, there are some limitations to be aware of.

PrivadoVPN Free gives you more servers to choose from than most free VPNs, but you may be a bit disappointed that not all of its advanced features are available for every OS.

Windscribe’s free plan is one of the best on the market, and it’s a strong option for streaming, torrenting, and private browsing, but it still has some areas for improvement

Hotspot Shield Basic offers a generous unlimited data plan, but it's hampered by a lack of server locations and features, and the presence of ads.

VPN In my hands-on Surfshark review, I test every aspect of the service to find out whether it's a bargain alternative to the biggest names.

Windscribe's free plan, customizable pricing, and privacy tools make it a great option – but its malware protection, apps, and chat support leave something to be desired

In my hands-on Private Internet Access review, we run down what the veteran provider is like to use, and where it needs improvement.

VPN Proton VPN is a very capable VPN, and will appeal to those looking for a more techy experience. However, it can't quite match the best of the best.
