Proton VPN Free is seriously powerful, and its unlimited data cap is unrivalled. However, there are some limitations to be aware of.

In my complete NordVPN review I run down the famous provider's features, from privacy and streaming to performance and its apps.

VPN Surfshark is an impressive combination of intuitive apps, great privacy credentials, and a very appealing sticker price.

TunnelBear is a simple VPN that covers the essentials with an audited no-logs policy, a kill switch, and an intuitive interface (as well as a sense of humor).

Hide.Me Free is okay for light browsing, but its throttled speeds make it difficult to recommend when there are more flexible free services around

Hotspot Shield Basic offers a generous unlimited data plan, but it's hampered by a lack of server locations and features, and the presence of ads.

Windscribe's free plan, customizable pricing, and privacy tools make it a great option – but its malware protection, apps, and chat support leave something to be desired

VPN My in-depth Mullvad review explores whether the Swedish stalwart's security features, unblocking power, and apps live up to its privacy-focused reputation.

VPN With a great free option and tons of features to please experts, my Hide.me VPN review digs down into what makes it a tempting provider.

PrivadoVPN is now faster and great at unblocking, with the bonus of a decent free version to try before you buy.
