For a VPN to be good, it has to be doing its job right. That is, keeping your browsing habits private. After all, that is the primary reason you use VPNs — hiding your actual physical location and browsing habits. Additionally, the VPN has to be easy to use.

virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across a public network and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network.
