Imagine if you just end up buying a VPN only to realize you made a wrong purchasing decision.
That sounds terrible right. Such a waste of money.
While you can look at reviews, it still might not let you know if the selected VPN will be the right choice for you.
Wouldn’t it be great if VPN providers give you free trials?
I’ve always loved VPNs, and the last few years I’ve had the privilege of watching them become steadily more popular.
But sometimes it’s hard to understand just how much VPNs have entered the mainstream. Is it something that most internet users know about?
Or maybe it’s only most younger people? Or maybe you and I assume people know as much as us, but really VPNs are only of interest to a small number of people.
Well, I’ve done some digging, and I’ve got quite a few interesting stats about VPN usage for you to take a look at.

Torrenting is still not dead. It’s a medium to share files over the internet, right?
Normally, we all look up for torrent files on the internet because we want to download free stuff and who doesn’t like free stuff.
Anyways, we have enlisted a few best unknown torrent websites from which you can download free files.
But,
Do not forget to use a VPN connection before you use these torrent websites. Protect your online privacy using a VPN.
Let’s take a look at the list now:

You are being monitored online!
Yes, that’s TRUE.
Whatever you surf on the internet, whatever you search and all the websites you visit are being monitored by the government.
Chill, you don’t need to worry as long as you are not a terrorist. (Haha… I hope you are not)
Anyways, there is an option to hide your IP address and maintain privacy over the internet.

Cybersecurity is a BIG issue, and the interesting thing is…a lot of people don’t realize they care about it.
A lot of people think about cybersecurity as something pretty basic: choose a good password, and beyond that it’s really a term for governments and big companies to worry about.
Of course, when you think about it, cybersecurity matters to just about everyone.
It’s super important for small businesses, who may be targeted without having the resources to hire a security professional.
And have you ever been concerned about what Facebook is doing with your data? Then you’ve worried about cybersecurity.
See what I mean? This goes for EVERYONE who does anything on the internet.
So I’ve picked quite a few of the most relevant and reputable statistics about cybersecurity in this list, and I think they’ll matter a lot to you, no matter your context.
Hide.me is the world’s fastest VPN!
Ha, just kidding. Every VPN says that. And realistically?
Some are fast, but usually it’s standard advertising. Same thing goes for the “safest” and “most secure” VPNs.
Most VPNs are basically the same. They make the same promises, have similar features, and do the same basic job.
That’s not a complaint, by the way! It’s good to have competition, and nuance is important.
BUT, every now and then, a VPN comes along that distinguishes itself as a unique contender.
Enter Speedify:
Yep. Speedify is a VPN with a special focus: a focus on combining different types of internet connections seamlessly.
But you might know that quite a few VPNs already offer encryption for data as well as WiFi. This leads to some questions:
Is Speedify offering something new, or a fancy name?
And is that all Speedify is good for, is it a good VPN in other ways as well?
Is it within my budget?
Don’t worry my friends—I’ve tested Speedify thoroughly and I’ve got answers to all those questions, and more.
Why? It’s hard to say exactly why, but I think their branding and origin story are fantastic.
ProtonVPN actually started with ProtonMail, a secure and encrypted mail service. The project was crowdfunded and founded by geniuses at CERN.
ProtonVPN was built to improve protection for people using ProtonMail, but it’s ballooned to become as famous as ProtonMail and is often used completely on its own.
To make matters even MORE heartening, ProtonMail and ProtonVPN BOTH have FREE versions.
Limited, of course, but it sure stands out as a sign of how serious ProtonMail/ProtonVPN are about their goals to protect people’s privacy.
Anyway, it’s pretty clear that at first glance, ProtonVPN seems to be one of the most legitimate VPNs around.
Founded by experts, crowd-sourced for privacy (not for streaming), located in a country known for its strong privacy laws, and providing reputable free software…
Surely, ProtonVPN must be one of the best VPNs in the world, right?
Well, I’ve tested it thoroughly, and I’ve got to say—the picture is a little more complicated. Continue reading
In fact, it’s probably one of the most popular VPNs around—and I don’t just mean the amount of users it has.
It’s pretty well received:
And it has a reputation for being a great bargain with lower than average prices.
I knew about it, but I thought it was just some tiny VPN that no one used.
And then I saw this on their website:
Now, I’m always skeptical about these numbers. VPNs often count downloads as users—which is pretty inaccurate considering how often people re-install or use multiple devices.
And sometimes, I’ll even have used it before.
But TigerVPN?
Man, I barely knew this existed till recently.
But you might know that I love underdogs, and as the VPN market is competitive and full of good options—I was real excited to learn more about TigerVPN.

I’ve always been a little put off by the name: what’s the “tor” in TorGuard for?
Because people often confuse VPNs and TOR, I figured it was a sneaky attempt at dragging in less aware customers.
It turns out that the “Tor” does mean something else—but more on that later.
As a matter of fact, I had heard about IPVanish before I really even cared about VPNs—so at least to me, it’s one of the big names.
But is it recognized for its quality? Or is it just recognized?
While Hidemyass has certain good points, it has a couple of issues as well. A point you just can’t avoid while using Hidemyass.
Hidemyass claims not to store logs. However, their logging policy reveals that they do track certain user information. When it comes to torrenting or Netflix streaming, Hidemyass is not a very suitable VPN option.
Now that’s not all. Hidemyass provides certain installable files which look suspicious. These are some things that make Hidemyass users look in for alternatives.
It’s a known fact that VPNs keep you safe. VPNs are available across multiple platforms, few of these include Mac.
There are several reasons you might have chosen a Mac device. Mac provides a unique user interface, good look and feel, hardware and so on. Multiple reasons, why users find it appealing.
However, what about its security? While you have antivirus and other security software, a VPN can provide ultimate security.
A point to note here is that not all VPN solutions offer support for Mac. So, in case you are a Mac user, you need to choose the solution after making a thorough review.
If you haven’t heard of it before, that makes sense. If you have, that makes sense, too:
This is because Windscribe is one of the more popular VPNs, but it also isn’t THAT well-known.
I mean, it’s been downloaded over a MILLION times on the Google Play store, and its Chrome extension has nearly a MILLION users—to say nothing of the times it’s been downloaded on Apple products, or PCs or even Linux desktops.
To say Hotspot Shield is popular, or well-known, is an…understatement, to say the least.
Their website says this:
Which is INSANE.
I’ll admit to being a little skeptical. That number sounds a little too high—does it include multiple installs by the same account, accounts made by the same people, etc?
(I’ve actually got some comments on that number, but you’ll have to keep reading!)
But there’s one VPN that is popular—as in it’s on the bigger side—but isn’t AS popular as some of the biggest names.
This VPN is one I was skeptical of at first, because of my own biases. But after testing it, I’ve discovered this is one of the BEST VPNs around.

This makes sense. TunnelBear is a popular VPN with a reputation for being easy and high-performing.
I think they serve an essential function and are both easy to use and easy to access. And the best part is, there are a LOT of VPNs out there.
So recently I tried a VPN that I, honestly, didn’t know too much about:
At first, I thought I was dealing with a really unknown VPN…
Until I realized that a LOT of people have taken a look at it:
CyberGhost is a VPN that has become one of the most popular VPNs around, but is still somehow underrated.a VPN that has become one of the most popular VPNs around, but is still somehow underrated.
Wait—how popular are we talking about here?
Okay, so pretty popular. As in, tens of millions of people worldwide.
How on earth can it be underrated?

Let me start at the beginning: I have heard A LOT about ExpressVPN. I’ve even used it before, but not consistently or in-depth.
And in the meantime, ExpressVPN has reigned as one of the most popular VPNs around.
This is ONLY from the Google Play store:
If you’re even just a little interested in VPNs, and you’ve done a quick Google, there’s one name you DEFINITELY encountered.
NordVPN is HUGE in the VPN world.
It’s not exaggeration to say that NordVPN is one the most popular and acclaimed VPNs of all time.
It’s got over 8 million customers, PLUS it’s been well received:
CLEARLY, NordVPN is doing something right.
If you’ve been interested in getting a VPN for the first time, or perhaps acquiring a new one, you’ve likely heard of Betternet.
Betternet is easily one of the most popular VPNs around, mostly because of its presence in the mobile app market.
Betternet has been the #1 VPN app on both the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store.
On the Play Store alone, it counts over 10 million downloads, and in total Betternet claims to have 38 million users worldwide.
Clearly, Betternet is popular. How? Why? There are so many VPNs nowadays, especially for mobile users. What makes Betternet among the most popular?
