The internet can be a scary place. There are bad actors and scammers around every digital corner looking to steal your information or track your movements online. It's an unfortunate reality that we all have to live with in our chronically online lives.
One of the most effective tools that you can use to protect yourself on the internet is a Virtual Private Network (or VPN). A VPN creates an artificial access point to the websites you visit, which conceals your personal IP address, and gives the services you access very little information about you.
If you're unaware of what a VPN is, or want to find out the what the difference is between each VPN service, read our round-up comparison table of the best VPN services for 2023.

Even if your own anonymity and safety online isn't important to you (and it should be), there are still fantastic features of a VPN that you could be using all the time, like the ability to access geo-blocked content. You'd be surprised just how little Australian Netflix has to offer compared to the service when accessed from the US or various countries in Europe.
Most of these VPNs have free trial periods, so if you're unsure which VPN is right for you, try them out first before you commit. Even though it's our PCMag Editors' Choice, something fully featured like NordVPN might not be worth the extra money for you if you're just looking to access geo-blocked content for example. For budget concsious browsers, something like SurfShark VPN will suffice perfectly fine.
