We have expanded our explanations in addition to the four important points to watch out for when choosing your VPN, particularly regarding the pricing or even the free nature of certain providers.

After the explanations to understand everything about VPNs when you're starting out , we address here the delicate question of choosing your virtual private network (VPN) service provider. We review the strong points which guarantee the quality of the expected service. Today we focus on 4 important points to take into account before making your choice and tell you which we think is the best option for each characteristic.

What is a VPN provider  ?

A VPN provider is a company that offers a virtual private network (VPN) service. This service allows you to create a secure and private connection between your device and the internet. The provider has a network of servers, located in different countries, through which your internet traffic is redirected. This is what allows you to hide your real IP address, protect your data from interception and bypass geo-restrictions . Additionally, the VPN provider is responsible for maintaining these servers and ensuring the promised level of security and privacy.

1. Pay attention to the number of servers

Generally, the more servers a VPN offers, the more likely you are to experience high speeds when using it. And while a VPN's speed doesn't depend solely on the number of servers, we have yet to see a VPN without a high number of servers that is competitive in terms of speed.

When we tried several VPN providers that have a fleet of thousands of servers around the world, connection speed was one of the biggest strengths of these services. Using a VPN can typically reduce internet connection speed by half or more. With those in our selection, the overall speed remained satisfactory.

An important point to pay attention to is the presence of a limit imposed on the number of times you can switch from one server to another. Being able to quickly and easily switch between servers is essential to protect your privacy and find a faster channel for traffic. What's the point of offering a massive network of servers around the world if you can only use a handful?

On this point two of our players are doing well, CyberGhost and NordVPN are those who have the most servers according to our latest surveys.
