A virtual private network (VPN) is a great tool for protecting your privacy and security on the Internet, especially when you’re using a public network or Wi-Fi hotspot. However, not all VPNs are trustworthy, and some are nothing more than thinly disguised data collectors.
Here are some sites that help you weed out the good guys from the bad guys:
- That One Privacy Site – highly recommended
- TheBestVPN
- VPNpro
There are many other sites that “rate” VPNs, but some are little more than paid advertisers for the ones they recommend. The first site listed above provides the various criteria that go into a competent analysis of a VPN. If you read a review that doesn’t get into some level of detail about those types of things, then you should discount the value of that review.
