The VPN we would subscribe to. Not the only privacy tool, and not something you need all day.

HTTPS already hides almost every page. If you still want one you will pay for, NordVPN is our pick. Apps are simple. The price is the long term plan, not the monthly sticker.

Use it on hotel WiFi, a cafe, or a country that blocks a site you need. Leave it off at home on a network you trust. Skip it if you wanted a lecture about threat models. ExpressVPN if you want the airport brand. Proton VPN if you already live in Proton Mail.
