How to set up a VPN

A VPN is a good way to protect your online activity and keep your IP address anonymous.
Most top VPNs offer software for Windows, macOS, and Linux computers, as well as mobile apps for Android and iOS.
If you want to appear to be located in a particular country or want to stream services like Netflix, you'll need to pick a specific server.
The easiest way to get started is to use the VPN app. Download the program from the appropriate app store or the VPN's website and install it as usual.
Manually configuring your VPN under Windows 11 gives you more control over how the tunneling works, but you should know your way around Windows 11 before getting started.
You can also set up a VPN connection on MacOS, which is very similar to the process on Windows.
The cost of service is usually affordable if you subscribe for one or more years at a time, but you might want to check our list of the latest and best VPN deals to make sure you aren't spending more than you need.
Some good VPN options include NordVPN, Surfshark, and ExpressVPN.
