I have used a VPN before but it was annoying. It interfered with my surfing. In the end I stopped using it b/c I'm at home all of the time and I really don't see the need to use one here. If I was travelling or using a remote for a business then that would be different.

Surfshark is the VPN company I used. It's top-rated and very reasonably priced.

I have Nord VPN on my iPhone, iPad, and laptop. Basically it masks my location. I have to pause it to access banking sites, anything really secure, and sometimes shopping sites, but most of the time I don't pause it.

I think you can use it to access tv shows and the like in other countries by selecting a VPN from that country, but I've never done it.

@Eileen in Virginia yes I use it on my iPhone but I can't seem to connect on my IPAD.  Don't know why

@theresa  As I said, I'm not a techie, but how many devices do you have for it? Our Norton "license" covers installing it on 5 devices. When I got my new laptop, I had to uninstall it from the old laptop to install it on the new one. Or, I could have purchased another license for the new laptop. If your license only covers one device, you'd need another license for the second one. Maybe someone else knows more about this.

My brother recommended VPN. He's helping me with my retirement account and said it makes these transactions safer. I've never had any problems before but installed it anyway.

@Eileen in Virginia mine is with ATT Active Armour and it's per device.  That's unfortunate because I really use my iPad as well.  I think I'm going to look into getting something else that covers multiple devices. Thank you

@Kalli may I ask you which vendor did you select?

I am thinking of getting VPN protection on all my devices.   I've been doing some research but wanted to know if the community has any comments.   I am concerned with my information appearing on the dark web.   There also have been so many security breaches of our information.

thank you

I use Malwarebytes VPN on my Apple devices.

I used Norton VPN back when I had a Windows laptop but wasn't all that happy with it.
