Compare VPN prices
and plans

A VPN, or virtual private network, routes traffic through a VPN server and encrypts the connection between that server and your device. Websites see the server’s IP address for traffic using the tunnel. It does not make every online activity anonymous.

It depends on the provider, plan and billing period. A long-term offer often has a lower monthly equivalent but requires a larger payment upfront. Compare the initial payment, number of months included, currency and renewal price. The table above keeps these figures separate.

The advertised figure is often a monthly equivalent. For example, $67.23 paid upfront for 27 months equals $2.49 per month, but you still pay $67.23 at the start. Tax and optional extras may change the final checkout amount.

An introductory offer may end and a different price or billing period may apply. Check whether renewal is automatic, when the next charge happens, how much it will be and how to cancel. An initial two-year offer does not necessarily renew for another two years.

A free plan can be useful for light or occasional use, but it may restrict data, locations, speed or simultaneous devices. Check who operates the service, how it is funded and what information it collects. Free does not automatically mean unsafe, and paid does not automatically mean trustworthy.

No. A trial provides temporary access and may require a card. A money-back guarantee normally requires payment first, followed by a refund request under the provider’s rules. Check the deadline, eligible payment methods and any separate app-store terms.

A VPN may be used while streaming, but access depends on the service, country, account and device. Services can recognize or block VPN connections. Check their terms and current support information; the presence of a VPN server in a country does not guarantee access to its catalog.

No. Netflix says VPN use may restrict the catalog to titles with worldwide rights. Its guidance also says VPNs are not supported for ad-supported viewing or live events. Compatibility can change, so a general ‘works with Netflix’ claim should not be treated as a guarantee.

It can. Encryption and a different route add overhead, while distance, server load and the protocol can affect speed and latency. A nearby server may perform better than a distant one. Your own connection and device also matter, so actual performance needs to be checked in your situation.

The limit depends on your plan. Check simultaneous connections as well as app availability for every device you use. A router connection may be counted differently, but router setup, speed and compatibility also need consideration.

A kill switch can block network traffic when the VPN connection drops, reducing the chance that traffic continues outside the tunnel. Availability and behavior vary by app and operating system. Check the settings and whether the feature must be enabled.

Split tunneling lets selected traffic use the VPN while other traffic uses a direct connection. For example, you might exclude an app that needs local-network access. Excluded traffic does not receive the VPN tunnel’s protection, and support varies between platforms.

No. It changes the IP address visible to websites, but accounts, cookies, browser fingerprinting and information you share can still identify you. A VPN provider also becomes part of the trust chain. Keep using HTTPS and sensible account security.

No. A VPN primarily changes how traffic is routed and protects the connection to its server. It does not replace software updates, device security or caution around phishing and malicious downloads. Some plans bundle extra tools, which should be evaluated separately.

A VPN app can route traffic from multiple applications on your device. An extension may only affect traffic inside that browser, and some extensions require a companion app. Check exactly what is covered before assuming the whole device is protected.
