Which VPNs Should You Trust In 2018?


The internet in 2018 is a scarier place than ever. In 2017, we had to contend with data breaches like the one that hit American company Equifax, leaking hundreds of millions of people’s personal information. This year, we’ve already learned about Facebook misusing our data, selling it to companies trying to manipulate us.

It’s impossible to avoid social media and the internet in general. We’ll never be 100% safe as long as we’re going online. But we can make ourselves as safe as possible.

For this reason, virtual private networks (VPNs) keep getting more and more important. VPNs hide your location and encrypt your data, making it much more difficult for websites to collect and hackers to steal.

But not all VPNs are created equal. When it comes to the many Android apps for example, most of them don’t actually work. Which is why you should go with a service that is tried and tested, that you can trust to do what it claims to do.

Let’s discuss which is the best VPN to trust in 2018.

ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN has long been touted as one of the best VPNs in the business. And there’s reason for its popularity and level of trust. It has been tested by experts to ensure that it keeps you as safe as possible. Not only that, but it has all the added features you're looking for in a VPN.

Let’s start with a biggie. All the VPNs you trust should allow for at least 3 simultaneous connections. This is because you're not just using one device at any one time. Chances are,you're reading this on your phone while working on something on your laptop with an iPadstreaming Netflix to the side. ExpressVPN, like all on this list, allows for 3+ simultaneousconnections.

It also has hundreds of geographically diverse servers, allowing you to mask your location as appearing in any country you desire. This also allows you to stream content from everywhere in the world.

NordVPN

Coming a close second to ExpressVPN is NordVPN. It’s slightly cheaper, which might sway it for you. Otherwise, it is almost as good as ExpressVPN and will serve your needs.

Customer service on NordVPN is particularly good as well, which is important when dealing with technical issues (something you may have to contend with in using a VPN). There are special deals available, especially if you go for a long-term subscription.

SaferVPN

Finally, SaferVPN is up there with the best of them. The only thing lacking for SaferVPN is an inbuilt ad blocker. But that’s an add-on you can get for your browser for free. SaferVPN is a couple of dollars cheaper than its competitors. So, while it is lesser known than ExpressVPN and NordVPN, it is a good choice for those looking to save.

Ultimately, all the VPNs mentioned in this list are reliable in 2018. We’re confident that your data will be safe if you use one of these VPNs, and you'll be able to use them on all your devices. Be responsible and subscribe to one of these VPNs if you haven't already.
