including ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, NordVPN, IPVanish, and ProtonVPN.
I'm going to let you know why each one made the list.
Then I'm going to answer some frequently asked questions regarding VPNs before providing

There, you'll find not only reviews of all the VPNs we've ever seen but also comparisons
of top VPNs and other cybersecurity measures like password managers.
Once again, this can all be found at securitybaron.com.
Let's kick off today's look at the best VPNs for iPhone with ExpressVPN.
ExpressVPN is just solid across the board.
It has a 4.6 out of 5-star rating in the Apple App Store.
It has over 3,000 servers in more than 90 countries.
No matter where you are, there's going to be a server proximate to you.
You're going to have the access that you need.
It also gives you access to its customer support team with 24/7 live chat support.
It even has had an independent company run a security audit to make sure they're maintaining
your privacy.
When it comes to the features and functionality of the ExpressVPN mobile application for iPhone,
it's simple.
It's straightforward.
It interfaces directly with your WiFi, your cellular connection, giving you that VPN capability
on any app that you happen to be using, and it's just a one tap to connect.
You have a list of servers, so many different servers in so many different locations to
tap into.
If you're one of the people that wants to customize your protocols, you can do that
directly in the app.

All right, let's get back to the video.
Next on our list of best VPNs for iPhone is IPVanish.
IPVanish has a 4.6 out of 5-star rating in the Apple App Store.
People seem to really be enjoying their experience on iPhone.
It also has over 1,300 servers in more than 75 countries.
Many of those servers of which are P2P servers, so you can have lots of access to whatever
you happen to need from your VPN.
It's just going to be an affordable VPN.
You're looking at less than $60 for an annual contract, so basically, $4.87 a month if you're
willing to go ahead and pay it all out-front.
When it comes to using IPVanish, it's really straightforward.
You're going to jump into the application, hit that quick connect which is going to immediately
give you your IP address, your VPN status, and your location.
If you want just to have a little bit more, you can see a real-time Internet traffic graph
right in the app.
Finally -- and this is where I think IPVanish separates itself from its competition -- it
gives you 10 devices that you can connect simultaneously.
Those 10 devices don't have to be one account owner.
In fact, you can have one for your children, one for your mother-in-law, all available
and all connected at the same time with IPVanish.

Gabe: Next VPN on our list for best VPNs for iPhone is ProtonVPN.
ProtonVPN has a 4.1 out of 5-star rating in the Apple App Store.
It also has one of the best free versions because there's no bandwidth cap.
It has 610 servers in over 44 countries.
On top of that, I like the fact that they have a transparency report where they detail
all the requests that have been made to them as a VPN service in terms of giving out people's
information.
ProtonVPN gives you five devices that can connect simultaneously.
They only manage their own network of servers, so you get the peace of mind of knowing that
it's all under one roof essentially.
Finally, I like the fact that they have ProtonVPN Secure Core, which routes all of your traffic
through multiple servers to give you that extra layer of security and privacy.

Gabe: Next on our list for best VPNs for iPhone is CyberGhost.
CyberGhost has a 4.4 out of 5-star rating in the Apple App Store.
That's with thousands upon thousands of reviews.
It also has over 6,000 servers in 90 countries.
Wherever you need to access, wherever you happen to be, you're going to be able to get
it with CyberGhost.
Also, if you're willing to make a commitment to them, they're willing to make it worth
your while.
You're looking at $2.50 per month if you sign up for a three-year contract.
When it comes to using CyberGhost on your iPhone, it's pretty straightforward.
There's a quick connect/disconnect button, so you can tap and immediately be connected
to an optimized server of wherever you happen to be in the moment.
On top of that, it shows you your local WiFi network to make sure that you're attached
to the right one.
I know I often will not even end up being on the WiFi network that I'd like to be on.
Then my final point to make about CyberGhost and my favorite, to be completely honest with
you, is the fact that it has servers that are optimized for various streaming networks
dependent on the country.
For example, I used to live in the francophone world, so I occasionally liked to watch Canal+.
CyberGhost makes it easy for me to watch Canal+, because it'll just have the server, and it
says optimized for Canal+.
I can go right there.
If I'm in another place and I want to be on Disney+, it will say the server that's optimized
for Disney+ right there.
That's a really excellent element and nice addition to the CyberGhost mobile application.

Gabe: The final VPN on our list today of best VPNs for iPhone is NordVPN.
NordVPN is everywhere.
You've probably seen their commercials on television, but what you do need to know is
that they do have a 4.6 out of 5-star rating in the Apple App Store.
On top of that, they recently had a huge security audit to make sure that they were maintaining
their own privacy standards, and that came back positive.
They also have a live chat option available 24/7.
If you're willing to make a little bit of a commitment to NordVPN, you can get that
price down to as low as $3.50 a month, and that comes with their three-year contract.
When it comes to using NordVPN on your iPhone, you get six simultaneous connections, and
your iPhone is just one of them.
If you do want to use your iPhone and you even want to use Siri, NordVPN does interface
with Siri.
On top of that, inside of the app, there is a toggle on/off for something called CyberSec.
CyberSec blocks ads and malware while you're on the Internet.
The final element that I want to talk about with NordVPN is the fact that you have access
to a ton of specialty servers.
Not only do you get your standard servers around the world, but you also get P2P servers
and Onion over VPN servers.
No matter what you need and how you need to access it, NordVPN has got you covered.

Gabe: Now I want to answer some frequently asked questions regarding VPNs, beginning
with our first question, are VPNs legal?
Yes, VPNs are legal in the United States, but they're not legal in every country and
every jurisdiction.
Go ahead and head over to securitybaron.com to learn more about the legality of VPNs around
the world.
The second question is, what do VPNs do?
VPNs create a private tunnel between you and the Internet and hide your IP address, covers
up your web traffic so that you can do whatever you need to do online privately.
The final question is, what does VPN stand for on my iPhone?
When you're looking at your iPhone in the settings, it does say VPN.
That stands for Virtual Private Network.
That setting just allows you to toggle your VPN on and off.

Gabe: All right, we've gone over a lot today as it pertains to the best VPNs for iPhone.
Let's just go ahead and refresh your memory on each one.
Beginning with ExpressVPN with it's over 3,000 servers in more than 90 countries, with the
ability to customize your protocols right there in the mobile application.
Then you have IPVanish, which gives you 10 simultaneous connections that do not have
to belong to the same account holder, so you can share those VPN access to different people
in your home.
On top of that, you've got ProtonVPN.
ProtonVPN gets all of your traffic going through multiple servers, giving you that extra layer
of security, along with the fact that they own and manage their own network of servers.
You have the peace of mind with ProtonVPN.
Then you have CyberGhost, which gives you seven simultaneous connections and my favorite
element, the ability to choose exactly which streaming service from whatever country you
need to watch something from.
Finally, NordVPN has a whole range of specialty servers, like P2P and Onion over VPN, to make
sure that you can get exactly the type of access that you need.
