There are multiple Editors' Choice picks in this category, but two of particular note are Mullvad VPN, which goes to great lengths to protect your privacy, and Proton VPN, a five-star service that is more affordable and straightforward than NordVPN. For all it offers, NordVPN is an Editors' Choice award winner. A new and unique feature called Meshnet lets you route your web traffic securely through your own trusted devices and transfer files.

It offers a password manager and encrypted file storage. In addition to protecting your web traffic, NordVPN scans downloaded files for malware and watches for malicious sites.

That's important, as the service is not cheap.
