In mobile app form it is particularly useful, enabling you to easily switch your VPN on or off, depending on the scenario. Switching between servers is also simple, and there is even a favorites list for servers you connect to regularly.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">In terms of usability, ExpressVPN\u2019s mobile app is simple to understand.

Up to five devices are supported on a TunnelBear account, while none of your activity is logged by the service.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">You might also be reassured to learn that TunnelBear is the only VPN to have published an independent security audit of its services.

Netflix\u2019s VPN blocking has successfully blocked TunnelBear users.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">While offering a free option (up to 500MB of data per month, upped to 1GB if you send a tweet), we would recommend you take one of TunnelBear\u2019s paid subscriptions. The Giant option is $9.99 per month, while the Grizzly option works out at $4.99 per month if you pay $59.88 up front.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Download<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/click.tunnelbear.com\/aff_c?offer_id=40&amp;aff_id=3122\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tunnelbear<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">5.

Private Internet Access offers an easy to use mobile app, unlimited bandwidth, 3,070+ servers in 28 countries, and doesn\u2019t log traffic. There\u2019s also tracking and malware protection, along with the expected encryption to keep your activity private from eavesdroppers, sniffers, and other interested parties.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Like TunnelBear, Private Internet Access will not allow you to access Netflix in a different country. You\u2019ll have to make do with the local version, sadly.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The monthly rate for Private Internet Access is $6.95, but you can save by paying annually at just $39.95 (equating to $3.33 per month). It also offers a two year deal of $69.95, which works out at a tiny $2.91 per month.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Download<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/pages\/buy-vpn\/MAKEUSE\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Private Internet Access<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">What About Free VPNs for Android?<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Several free VPNs are available for Android. Before you consider one of these, however, note that <a class=\"no-callout\" href=\"\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/paid-free-vpn\/\">free VPNs don\u2019t give you the same depth of privacy as paid VPNs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Having said that, a handful of free VPNs might be worth considering if you can\u2019t pay.

This isn\u2019t a problem if your phone close to a charger, but obviously once you head out and access online content, this will change.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">To avoid unnecessary battery drain, it\u2019s important to remember to disable your VPN when you\u2019re not browsing the web on your phone.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">How Do You Set Up a VPN on Android?<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">If you\u2019re already using a VPN on your desktop computer, you probably know how straightforward it is to set one up. While there are differences between VPN clients, the process is overall the same. On mobile, the story is similar, although the installation and setup differ.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Once you\u2019ve installed the VPN\u2019s app through Google Play (and subscribed to the service), you\u2019ll need to enter your VPN account credentials. As soon as you\u2019re signed in, you\u2019ll be able to select a VPN server and connect.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> It\u2019s a little different if you need to <a class=\"no-callout\" href=\"\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/how-to-connect-to-your-work-vpn-with-your-tablet-android\/\">connect to a corporate VPN from Android<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Meanwhile, if you need to use a VPN on Android but don\u2019t like any of the mobile clients (or regularly switch providers), <a class=\"no-callout\" href=\"\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/setup-vpn-mobile-using-openvpn\/\">try OpenVPN Connect<\/a>.
