Provider CyberGhost VPN ExpressVPN hide.me VPN IVPN Mullvad VPN NordVPN Private Internet Access Proton VPN PureVPN Surfshark Windscribe Connection 25 OpenVPN protocolThe apps can connect with OpenVPN. IKEv2/IPsec protocolThe apps can connect with IKEv2 or IPsec. Other or own protocolA protocol besides WireGuard, OpenVPN and IKEv2, often developed by the provider itself. Always-on kill switchAn optional setting that also blocks the internet when you disconnect yourself or the app is not running; you only get online through the VPN. Multi-hop (two VPN servers in a row)Routes traffic through two VPN servers instead of one. Obfuscation (hides that you use a VPN)Makes VPN traffic look like ordinary traffic, for networks that block VPNs. Port forwardingOpens a port on the VPN address so others can reach a service on your device. Dedicated IP addressA fixed IP address that only you use, instead of one shared with other customers. P2P / torrenting allowedThe provider allows peer-to-peer traffic, on all servers or on designated ones. Tor over VPNServers that pass your traffic on into the Tor network without a separate Tor browser. Private network between your own devicesConnects your own devices directly to each other through encrypted tunnels, wherever they are. IPv6 inside the tunnelIPv6 traffic goes through the VPN rather than being blocked or left outside it. Post-quantum encryptionThe key exchange uses an algorithm designed to resist future quantum computers. Smart DNSA DNS service for devices that cannot run a VPN app, such as some TVs and consoles; it does not encrypt traffic. Automatic server choiceThe app picks the fastest or best server for you with one click, so you do not have to choose a location yourself. Custom DNS serverYou can set another DNS server in the app instead of the provider's DNS. Local network accessA setting that keeps devices on your own network, such as a printer or NAS, reachable while the VPN is connected. Pause VPNSwitches the VPN off for a set time; it reconnects by itself afterwards. Automatic WireGuard key rotationThe app replaces the WireGuard key by itself at regular intervals. Perfect forward secrecyThe encryption keys change regularly, so one cracked key does not unlock earlier or later traffic. Static IP addressYou get the same IP address at every connection; unlike a dedicated IP, the address may be shared with other customers. IP rotationYou get a new IP address without disconnecting from the VPN, automatically every few minutes or with one click. GPS location spoofingThe GPS location that apps or the browser see is set to the location of the VPN server. SOCKS5 proxyA proxy you set up in a single app (for example a browser or torrent client) to send only that app's traffic via the provider. Streaming (as stated by the provider)The provider says the plan works with streaming services or labels servers for streaming; we have not tested which services work. Blocking 5 Ad blockingBlocks advertisements while the VPN is on. Tracker blockingBlocks known tracking domains. Blocking of malicious websitesBlocks access to websites known for malware or phishing. Parental controlsFilters that block adult or other unsuitable categories of websites, which you switch on yourself. Cookie pop-up blockingHides cookie consent pop-ups on websites. Privacy and trust 8 RAM-only serversServers run without hard disks, so nothing is kept after a reboot. Open-source appsThe source code of the apps is public. Payment with cryptocurrencyYou can pay with at least one cryptocurrency. Payment in cashYou can pay with cash, by post or through a voucher bought in a shop. Account without an email addressYou can sign up without giving an email address or other personal details. Bug bounty programmeThe provider pays outside researchers who report security flaws. Vulnerability disclosure programmeA published way for outside researchers to report security flaws, with rules for how the provider handles them; with or without a reward. Transparency reportThe provider publishes how many requests for user data it received from authorities and what it handed over. Identity and device 8 Antivirus (scans files on the device)Software that scans files and downloads on the device itself for malware. Password managerStores and fills in your passwords across devices. Email aliases (masked email)Generated addresses that forward to your real mailbox, so you do not have to give out your own address. Data breach alertsWarns you when your email address or other details turn up in a known data breach. Encrypted cloud storageOnline file storage that is encrypted before upload. Data removal from data brokersThe provider sends removal requests to data brokers on your behalf. Identity theft insuranceInsurance cover for costs after identity theft or online fraud; often limited to certain countries. Travel eSIM includedA travel eSIM with a limited amount of mobile data comes with the plan; amount and validity differ per provider. Apps and devices 6 Linux app with graphical interfaceThe Linux client has a graphical interface, not only a command line. Linux command-line clientThe Linux client can be controlled from the command line. Android TV appThe provider has its own app for Android TV / Google TV. Fire TV appThe provider has its own app for Amazon Fire TV. Apple TV appThe provider has its own app for Apple TV (tvOS). Browser extensionAn extension for at least one browser; it usually protects only the traffic of that browser. Network 3 10 Gbit/s serversThe provider states that servers have 10 Gbit/s connections. Servers owned by the providerThe provider owns at least part of its server hardware instead of renting everything. Virtual locations disclosedThe provider says which locations are virtual, meaning the server physically stands in another country. Subscription and service 6 Free planA plan you can keep using without paying, with limits. Free trialA trial of the paid plan for a limited time; we note whether payment details are required. Sold as a code or gift card in shopsThe provider says its subscription is sold through retailers (physical or online shops such as Amazon) as an activation code, voucher or gift card. Student discountThe provider offers students (sometimes also other groups such as teachers) a discount on top of or instead of its usual price, usually after verifying your status. Live chat supportYou can reach support through live chat; we note the hours when the provider states them. Business or team planThe provider sells a separate offer for teams or businesses with central management; it is not part of the consumer plans. Show 22 plans Clear filters
