VPNs are an essential tool for security and privacy on the iPhone. VPNs are also a great way to protect your data when using public Wi-Fi hotspots, like hotels, airports and coffee shops. With so many VPNs out there it can be tricky knowing which one is right for you. So today we're going to show you how easy it is to get connected with a VPN app—and help you decide if an iPhone VPN is right for you.
1. Download our VPN app
- Download our VPN app from the App Store.
- If you are using an iPhone, download the app from the App Store.
- If you are using an iPad, download the app from the App Store.
- If you are using an iPod Touch, download the app from iTunes store
2. Select your VPN protocol and location
Choosing a VPN protocol and location is one of the most important steps in securing your internet connection. The protocol you choose will determine which kind of data encryption your VPN uses, but it also determines where that data will be sent.
The best way to choose a protocol is by first thinking about what kind of data you want to protect:
- Do I want my internet traffic (what websites I connect) to be encrypted? Or my mail (what emails)? If so, then I should probably choose OpenVPN over PPTP because OpenVPN supports multiple protocols including L2TP/IPSec and SSTP while PPTP only supports PPPoE connections.
- Am I worried about device location? If so, then I’ll want L2TP/IPSec instead because it supports multiple locations: USA & Canada; Europe; Asia & Australia but not all countries worldwide!
3. Enter your login information
To enter your login credentials, tap on the “Login” button in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.
- Enter your password
- Tap “Log In” (or Sign In) if you have multiple accounts with this app and want to use them all at once. If not, just choose which account(s) you want to access by tapping one of them on this screen.
4. Connect to the VPN server
Once you have the app installed, connecting to a VPN server is easy. Just tap on “Connect” and then select a location—the US, UK, or anywhere else in the world. If you want to connect using a free VPN service like Hola or Betternet (both of which are paid), just make sure that it supports iPhone XS Max users!
If none of those options work for you, there are plenty more providers out there who offer premium services at affordable prices. Some popular choices include ExpressVPN ($12/month), NordVPN ($10/month) and VyprVPN ($9/month).
The simple download process for iPhone VPNs means you can get connected in a matter of seconds. You'll be able to choose from a selection of over 500 servers, and if you want to connect to one specific server that's not listed, they'll help you find the best fit.
The app is also completely free to use—so there's no need to worry about paying extra money or signing up for an account with any third party company (like Facebook).
