Ivacy is a relatively large provider based in Hong Kong, perhaps best-known for being the first to implement 'Split-Tunelling' as a security measure. Their reputation for innovation continues, and they continue to strive to offer excellent standards of security and privacy.These days Ivacy position themselves as the best option for P2P/Torrent sharing - a feature many of their competitors either prohibit or offer limited support for. If you're looking to do some heavy-duty file sharing, this could well be the one to go for.On top of this, Ivacy has a good network of 250 servers and allows up to 5 simultaneous connections, which is good by anyone's standards.Oh. And then there's the price. With the current awesome discount, Ivacy is just $2.50/month if you sign up for a year. Seriously! That works out at about 5p a day in British money - unbeatable.

ExpressVPN is one of the world's leading VPN services, with a huge number of active servers throughout the world and a real focus on speed and reliability. An award-winning provider, they support a number of non-profits fighting for internet freedom.They have well-designed, user-friendly apps and software that includes their own speed tests (so you can easily find the fastest servers). With this level of quality, it's understandable that ExpressVPN isn't among the super-cheap options. The monthly price of $12.95 is up at the more expensive end of the spectrum, although you can bring it down to a much more reasonable $8.32 by going for a 12 month package.If you believe you get what you pay for, this is the one for you. And should you be unsatisfied, simply cancel your ExpressVPN within 30 days for a full, no-questions-asked refund.

Widely known as one of the best providers when it comes to speed and compatibility, ipVanish have an excellent reputation. Equipped with heavy duty security measures, including shared IPs to maximise your anonymity, this is a great option for the privacy-conscious. Offering access to over 500 servers in 60 countries, this is a case where it's worth paying on the pricier side of average to gain excellent service.While 2 simultaneous connections are allowed, it's worth noting these must be connected through different protocols (ie 1 OpenVPN & 1PPTP).All things considered this is a good all-round package offered by one of the most well-established providers. They're experts at what they do, and offer 24/7 customer service - you're really paying for peace-of-mind - well worth it!

Offering more than 50% off on an annual subscription, this is an outstanding deal for a well-rounded VPN service! PureVPN are one of the oldest and largest providers in the business, with over 1 million satisfied customers - so you can be confident of excellent service.All the features you'd expect are here - although some, such as Smart DNS and Dedicated IPs are available as add-ons rather than included in the basic account. Even without these extras, the offering from PureVPN is a strong one that should be more than enough to suit most home users.There are also excellent options for business users, including DdoS Protection - this really is professional security.

SlickVPN are a widely-used provider with a strong reputation for security. Their unique HYDRA 'multi-hop' feature makes it virtually impossible for your IP to be tracked, though their base in USA jurisdiction may be a concern for particularly wary users.They also provide a Warrant-Canary feature - making it relatively straightforward to find out if any legal action should give you cause for concern.Offering 5 device connections from up to 2 locations, SlickVPN is a strong option for those who wish to need security on-the-go. The price at $4/mo over an annual subscription is reasonable, and there is also a nice option to buy smaller bundles of 4/8/12/16/20 days at a time if you want to test out the service.

TorGuard offer a solid, no-frills, good value service. They originally focused on torrenting customers - TOR being from bitTORrent rather than the famous privacy software. Stealth dedicated IPs are included - just let TorGuard know where you want yours and they'll assign it.Servers aren't overloaded like some providers, and they all have gigabit+ port speeds, so you can rely on achieving excellent download rates. 5 simultaneous connections is attractive and you can easily add more at $1/month - so one account can cover a whole household of devices.Not ideal for Viscosity users as they have dropped support for it. The bundled software does the job, although the design is not exactly at the Steve Jobs level!

Hide.Me is a Malaysian based VPN with a strong presence in Germany, and increasingly popular in the global market. Known for having one of the widest ranges of available protocols as well as being certified as 100% log-free.The Hide.Me Plus plan offers a single connection with a 75GB monthly data allowance. This should be sufficient for low-end users, however, given the price of the package, it feels a little restrictive.Aside from the data-limit, this is a pretty solid network with over 85 servers and very user-friendly apps on a number of platforms. We can see why the Germans are on board.

HideMyAss was one of the first commercially available VPN services, growing out of a hugely popular proxy service. It's a homegrown company too, based here in the UK (and actually paying some tax!). Sadly, that might cause privacy issues in the future as the government continues to make a fist of the new logging legislation.It's still great for securing your public wifi use or accessing localized media, and there are solid corporate services.Overall a quality provider at a fair price.

Based in Panama
Based in Panama (where there are no mandatory data-retention laws), NordVPN is among the best when it comes to security and privacy. They keep absolutely no usage logs and offer powerful (if slightly clunky) software including an in-built killswitch.The ability to connect up to 6 devices (from 2 IPs) will appeal to users who needs full coverage both at home and away. Setup simple with dedicated apps for Windows, Mac and iOS, with and Android app in the works.Server speeds could be faster, however if you're looking for tight security and excellent useability at a reasonable price, NordVPN has a lot to offer.

Based in Northern Cyprus
EarthVPN offer a low-cost service with some serious security. Operating out of Northern Cyprus, they pledge to keep absolutely no activity logs - ensuring your privacy remains intact.With over 400 servers in 54 countries, this is a solid network. The website advertises 3 simultaneous connections, though this is somewhat misleading - 3 devices can be connected from one location, but extra locations are paid for as an 'add-on' at $1.99/mo.Customer support is offered through a somewhat sluggish ticketing system and while not offering a free trial, EarthVPN does operate a 7-day money-back guarantee.Overall a good mid-range option, with impressive privacy credentials, at a low-end price.

With a crack team of 25 German developers, they have created a highly efficient system with military-grade encryption and some great added security features. ISO certified, they publish a full transparency report each year - few companies are this committed to your privacy.At this price point it's understandable that they limit you to a single login - see the Premium Plus version to use up to 5 devices simultaneously.If you want serious security at a fair price, we think you'll be happy with Cyberghost.

Cactus VPN is one of the smaller providers out there, which comes with both benefits and downfalls. If you're looking for a heavy-duty service with a broad choice of servers and locations, clearly this isn't the one for you.That said, offering 3 simultaneous connections at 4.89 a month, with a whopping 54% discount if you sign up for a full year, this is an affordable option for any pocket.The apps available for Windows, Mac and iOS are well-executed with some nifty features including a unique 'App-Killer' which will appeal to the security-conscious. No Android app as yet, but manual set-up is straightforward.Make use of the 24hr free trial before buying, as the 30-day money-back guarantee only applies if you can't connect at all - speed or router-installation issues are not refundable.

SwitchVPN is an Indian based operation with some strong offerings - over 450 servers in 32 countries, and allowing an impressive 5 simultaneous connections.Operating a 30 day no-quibble money back policy, and with a relatively easy-to use app for Windows and Mac, as well as an extensive online knowledgebase including well-writted setup guides for other platforms, this is certainly a customer-friendly option.The price point is fairly average at £4.95 a month, provided you sign up for an annual subscription.More privacy-conscious users will want to consider the 90-day connection logging policy. SwitchVPN advise that they do not log any user info such as sites visited, downloads etc. However times, dates, server locations, bandwidth used and connection duration are logged for up to 90 days - to protect the system from abusive or criminal users.

SaferVPN are relative newcomers to the field, established in Israel 2013. Currently offering a discount of up to 50%, their Premium plan is a sturdy package with many features to recommend it.A good range of servers and countries are on offer here, however anyone looking to use Bittorrent or other P2P software will be disappointed as this is not supported. For a service at the higher end of the price spectrum, this might be a problem for some.The Premium package offers up to 3 simultaneous connections, which for most users will be more than ample. The easy-to-use clients for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS are a big selling point, and as the name suggests, SaferVPN are strong on security, with a commitment to keeping your usage private.

Invisible Browsing are a big name in the VPN industry, having been one of the first on the scene in 2003. They've had over a decade to develop their network and software, so it's no surprise that they have a lot to offer. Having said that, for all their credentials, the ibVPN website can be a bit overwhelming. There are several packages on offer and it's not necessarily easy to know which is best for your needs.The Ultimate Plan offers access to 94 servers in 39 countries, with up to 3 simultaneous connections. At $4.84/month if you sign up for a year, this is a decent deal, if not a mind-blowing one.Where ibVPN are strong is the extras - well-built apps for Win/Mac/Android and iOS as well as a powerful SmartDNS network. You won't be disappointed if you're looking for a mid-range service ideal for media streaming.

For a small operation, VPN.ac certainly offer a great deal. With up to 6 simultaneous connections to over 450 servers, anyone looking for heavy-duty security at home and on-the-go will be more than happy with what this Romanian opertator provides.They have a policy of absolute honesty - so it's refreshing to see the 2TB monthly data limit advertised front and center on the website. The truth is most providers impose some sort of fair-usage data cap, and 2TB is more than enough for all but the most extreme users.With no traffic logs and an excellent privacy policy, this is an ideal choice for the security conscious.For a limit time this whole package is available for just $3.37/month with the discount code VPN2016 - a fantastic deal by anyone's standards.

Proxy.SH run a mid-sized network with a strong emphasis on privacy. At $7.50/month for an annual subscription, it's at the more expensive end of the spectrum, but for those looking for maximum anonymity, this is a strong option.The option to run up to 3 simultaneous connections is welcome, however Proxy.SH do have the somewhat unusual policy of limiting bandwidth on their standard package. There is an option to pay extra for greater bandwidth, but some will feel short-changed by this aspect of the service.Offering over 85 payment methods, it is possible to get connected while handing over virtually no personal information, so while there are limits to the service, you won't find many more secure and anonymous VPN services.

As their name suggests, Overplay offer a VPN+DNS service aimed squarely at the gaming & streaming market. Security and privacy are to a fairly solid standard, but as this is a UK company they will be subject to any changes in UK legislation that may be on the horizon.Perhaps not one for those looking for unimpeachable security credentials then, but taken as a whole, Overplay has a lot going for it. With one of the best DNS offerings on the market, and compatibility with a wide range of platforms including XBox, those looking for a speedy connection and lots of unblocked content certainly won't be disappointed.While somewhat pricey at $8.33/month on the annual subscription, there is a good range of servers and locations on offer. The simplicity and ease-of-use of the proprietary apps is also a big selling point, making this an ideal package for family use.

VyprVPN are big players in the industry with some great features to recommend them. As part of the GoldenFrog Consortium, they don't involve any 3rd parties - building and maintaining all their own servers - which makes for some impressively fast and reliable connectivity.Their proprietary Chameleon technology is a great defence against ISP bandwidth-throttling, and with 2 simultaneous connections allowed on the Pro package, this is a highly versatile provider.Their 30-day session logging policy isn't ideal, but unless you're looking for absolute maximum privacy, this shouldn't be a deal-breaker.Vypr are currently offering 40% off your first year's subscription on their Pro package, making an already-attractive service all the sweeter.
