Chime in: What's the VPN of choice for your Windows PC?

A VPN is something we definitely recommend using, not least as one way to help keep yourself safer online. There are lots of reasons why you might want to use one, but there's a fair bit of choice out there.

That's what we're talking about down in the Windows Central forums.

Lately, there have been many security concerns regarding privacy and security when it comes to windows and internet threat waiting for you. Mostly threats target windows users so when i search for internet freedom and internet security VPN comes in the list to must have, so I have been searching a VPN for my windows 10 machine. Please recommend me good VPN service and how should I set it up..

But sometimes it's best to hear from folks using all these different products, day in, day out. Different users will have different priorities, so community feedback is always important.

So, if you're using a VPN you particularly like, or maybe one you wouldn't recommend others use, be sure to drop by the forums thread below and share the wealth of your knowledge with us.

Windows Platform and all the vulnerabilities

We test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example:

1. Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service).

2. 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. Consuming pirated content that is paid-for is neither endorsed nor approved by Future Publishing.
