Here at Tom's Guide, we love writing about the best VPNs and all the data privacy and cybersecurity news that come with them. Every day we're testing various VPNs to see how effective they are – but we want to know what you think of VPNs, whether or not you use them, and what you think is the most important thing they can do.

By taking part in our short survey, you can help shape what we cover in Tom's Guide and help us give better recommendations to our loyal readers.

The VPN boom

In 2023, the VPN industry was estimated to be worth approximately $50 billion and this number is predicted to reach approximately $137 billion by 2030 – so VPNs are big business.

But not everyone has heard of them, and even fewer actively use them. While not everyone needs a VPN, there are a huge range of VPN uses – some of which you may not have thought of.

The Tom's Guide VPN team immerse ourselves in VPNs all day, everyday, so whatever you want to know, we've got you covered.

Our best VPN list is the holy grail of VPN content. Everything you need to know about our top five providers is packed into one place.

Various devices including a laptop, TV and tablet displaying the interfaces some of the best VPNs, including Surfshark, NordVPN, and ExpressVPN. A PS5 controller, Apple TV 4K and a router are also visible.

As well as this, we have some smaller, more targeted guides. If there's something specific you want to know, consider checking these articles out as well.

We have guides to the most secure VPNs, best VPNs for streaming, the fastest VPNs, the best cheap VPNs, and the best free VPNs.

There are also guides detailing the best VPNs on each device. It doesn't matter if you're looking for the best VPN for iPhone, best VPN for Mac, best VPN for Windows, or even the best VPN for Linux – we've done the testing, and can help you pinpoint the right choice for you.

As internet censorship and attacks on our online privacy increase, wrestling back control of our data is more important than ever – and getting a VPN is a great way to start.

Protecting your online security and strengthening your online privacy when abroad. We do not support or condone the illegal or malicious use of VPN services.
