ou don’t need to be paranoid
or have a desperate desire to
see what’s on US Netflix to
enjoy the benefits of a virtual
private network (VPN). As the Prime
Minister told the Russian people in an
online speech last month: “All you need
is a VPN connection to access
independent information from
anywhere in the world” (www.snipca.
com/41726). And Boris Johnson is
completely right: even in less oppressed
countries, where the internet isn’t
censored and the media is free from
state control, a VPN lets you access
any content you like and prevents you
from being spied on while you do so.
With VPNs currently soaring in

popularity (and not just in Russia),
we decided that now was the perfect
time to take a closer look at the
subject. Even if you already use a
VPN, it may not be offering the fastest
speeds, tightest security, best features
and largest choice of servers available.
And if you’ve never tried one before,
you may be wondering if everything
you’ve heard about VPNs is true.
Here we review the latest VPN tools
to discover what each has to offer. We
also expose the truth behind common
VPN myths and misconceptions,
explain how to tweak hidden settings
for optimum speed and security, and
reveal exciting new content from
abroad you can now unblock.

Boost your VPN’s speed and security by tweaking


its hidden settings or switching to a superior


alternative. Robert Irvine reveals the best new ways


to access anything from anywhere
