You shouldn’t take the task of choosing a VPN provider lightly. After all, you’ll be putting your privacy in their hands.
First, you should rule out free VPNs if you care about online privacy. There are too many cases of free VPN providers selling your data to ad agencies or otherwise mishandling information. We nudge you to try Surfshark when securing iOS devices. Here’s a list of things we cover:
Encryption and protocols — security is the most important aspect of any VPN. AES-256 is the industry-leading encryption at the moment, and you shouldn’t settle for anything else.
The same goes for protocols. A good VPN should offer fast and secure protocols such as WireGuard, OpenVPN, and IKEv2, all of which are available with Surfshark;
The number of servers and locations — you want a VPN with the most servers in the most locations. If a VPN has a lot of servers, they don’t get too crowded, and your connection stays fast. Surfshark has you covered with 3200+ servers in 100 countries.
The more locations a VPN has, the more likely you are to find one close to you, no matter where you are. Being able to connect to a server nearby is also crucial for good connection speeds with a VPN;
No online tracking — any reliable VPN provider should have a strict no-logs policy. Lucky for you, Surfshark has been verified by an independent auditor.
This means we don‘t keep any information about your activity while using the app.
Additional features — most premium VPN providers offer unique features with their services. Surfshark offers unlimited connections, a pop-up and an ad blocker, an IP randomizer, and a MultiHop option (above all else). If you pay for a service, make sure you get the most out of it.
