5 Best iPhone VPN apps for privacy and security

5 Best iOS VPN apps for privacy and security

There are lots of reasons to consider a VPN (virtual private network) service for your iPhone or iPad. If you use public Wi-Fi, then you could be targeted easily by cyber criminals. You may also want to access American streaming services such as Netflix, even if you aren’t technically located in the United States. Or perhaps, you simply want to stop your ISP from throttling your connection without your consent.

Thankfully, a VPN enables you to protect your data from snoopers and mask your true location. It hides your online forays in a secure tunnel that outsiders can’t penetrate, but you must choose wisely, since you’re trusting your VPN provider with all your online activities. If the service is free, you have to wonder how they’re staying afloat. Do some research to make sure they aren’t selling your data or bandwidth to third-parties. If you can’t, just check out five of the best VPN apps available for iOS below.

VyprVPN

You can expect fast and reliable service from VyprVPN, as it has a presence all over the world and provides you with roughly 50 different locations to choose from. Parent company Golden Frog owns and operates the entire network, so none of your data goes anywhere near third-parties without your knowledge. The service supports 256-bit encryption and the tough, OpenVPN protocol, while presenting you with a privacy policy that’s both open and easy to understand. Minimal logs are also kept for up to 30 days with no data sharing.
The iOS app is easy to grasp. It provides a list of potential servers, which you can then filter and save for the future. You can also check which is the fastest, and since simplicity is the app’s major attraction, it also makes configuration a breeze with automated preferences. It even provides extras such as Chameleon, which disguises your streaming, and Dump Truck, which provides secure storage.
You can try it out for free for a month with a 500MB limit, or you can pay $15 a month or $100 annually for the Pro service, which allows for two simultaneous connections. You can also spend $20 a month or $120 annually for the Premier service, which grants you three simultaneous connections. However, we don’t recommend the basic service, as it doesn’t offer the same level of security.

iTunes

Private Internet Access VPN

The Private Internet Access (PIA) Anonymous VPN service remains a popular option on iOS. It offers a wide selection of locations across the world — 27 in all — including some regional options for popular destinations. Speeds are generally fast, and the service supports 256-bit encryption and OpenVPN, though, it recommends 128-bit encryption for speed. It’s also based in the United States and promises not to log traffic and VPN usage.
While the desktop clients offer all sorts of configuration options, the iOS app is very straightforward. You log in, pick a destination from a list, and away you go. Speed information is an obvious omission, and it does sometimes disconnect you, too.
There’s no free trial for PIA, but the service does offer a seven-day, money-back guarantee. You can pay $7 a month, $36 for six months, or $40 for the year. That includes support for five simultaneous connections, which makes it good value for the money.

iTunes

ExpressVPN

With ExpressVPN you can connect to servers in 78 countries worldwide. You’ll also find support for 256-bit encryption and OpenVPN. There’s no logging policy, so you can rest assured the service won’t log your online activities. It’s generally fast and reliable, with good customer support should you need it.
The iOS app shows locations in a list or on a map, too, and you can tap to connect. There are nearly 100 regions to choose from, with the option to set your favorite for later.
You can try ExpressVPN for free for one day. After that, subscriptions run $13 a month, $60 for six months, or $100 for the year. There is also a 30-day, money-back guarantee. However, you can only connect to one mobile device and one computer or laptop simultaneously.

iTunes

IPVanish VPN

With more than 180 servers in more than 60 countries, you shouldn’t have any trouble getting connected with IPVanish. It promises zero logging, while still managing to offer support for OpenVPN and 256-bit encryption. It also allows P2P traffic, which some services block.
You’ll find the iOS app pretty easy to use. You can browse using location and popular countries. Moreover, regions such as the United States list servers by individual cities. There’s little else to it.
IPVanish is free to try for a day. It has a wide range of subscription plans starting at $2 for seven days. You can also opt for $10 a month, $27 for three months, or $75 annually. It provides unlimited bandwidth, but you can only have two simultaneous connections — one OpenVPN connection and one other protocol (L2TP or PPTP) connection.

iTunes

Tunnel Bear VPN

Simple to use and packed with cute bear graphics and puns, Tunnel Bear is quickly becoming a popular iOS VPN app. It offers 256-bit encryption and supports minimal logging, though, it doesn’t allow P2P. It offers servers in 15 major countries, and the speeds are generally pretty good.
The iOS app runs on the IPSec protocol, but the company’s other clients use OpenVPN. The app is designed to be simple, requiring you to do little more than tap on a location on the map and wait, as your bear tunnels its way to the new region.
The service allows for 500MB a month of free data if you want to try it out before you buy, but premium subscriptions will run you $4 a month or $30 annually for one iOS device. Opting for the more expensive packages will allow up to five simultaneous connections spanning multiple computers and mobile devices, but it will cost you $7 a month or $50 annually.

iTunes

Bear in mind that you may need to install the OpenVPN Connect client and follow a guide in order to take advantage of the OpenVPN protocol on iOS. All the apps will work with IPSec or another protocol by default. You’ll find guides on most of the service provider’s websites to do this. This also isn’t a complete list, because there are a ton of other good iOS VPN apps, but these are your best options.

Make the most of the iPhone 6 iphone 6plus with these essential tricks and tips

Life is hard enough without having to factor in modern technology. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are two of the most lauded and intuitive smartphones to ever hit the consumer market. The phones are lined with an impressive set of hardware and integrated with Apple’s robust ecosystem of apps.
Nonetheless, the aptly-titled Tips app built into iOS 8 doesn’t cover all bases, especially considering just how vast and varied the innate features baked into Apple’s latest mobile can be. Most of us need a little extra help to get the most out of the $750 megaphone, whether you’re simply trying to traverse the device’s expanded real estate or capture slow-motion video of your dog drooling on the sofa. Below are 20 of our favorite tips and tricks for the iPhone 6.

How to reach the top of the screen using one hand

Apple has always wanted consumers to use the iPhone with a single hand hand — hence, the iPhone 6’s new Reachability feature. Simply double-touch the Home button to shift the screen down closer to your thumb, and once you make your selection, it will conveniently slide back up to its natural position. No second hand required.

How to opt out of group iMessages

Certainly a long-sought feature, iPhone 6 users can now opt out of iMessage threads. To do so, launch the Messages app as you would normally, and choose the group thread you’d like to opt out of. Afterward, tap Details in the upper-right corner, and select the Leave this conversation option at the bottom of the menu. It’s a really nice feature, but sadly, it only allows you to leave conversations when everyone included on the thread utilizes iMessage. If you’ve got a friend who texts via SMS — ahem, Android users — the feature won’t do you any good.

How to create a medical ID

When Apple issued iOS 8, the company added the highly-rumored Health app to its arsenal. The somewhat complicated app provides a quick means for charting various metrics regarding your health and physical activity, along with a way for others to to access a wealth of information vital to your health in case of an emergency. You can create a Medical ID that’s accessible via the Emergency function located on your device’s lock screen.
To create a Medical ID, launch the Health app as you would normally, and select the Medical ID tab in the lower-right corner. Afterward, enter any information you want accessible through the lock screen — i.e. allergies, medications, blood type, emergency contact numbers — and click Done in the upper-right corner before enabling the function at the top of the app window.

How to capture smoother video

The iPhone 6 has stellar video recording capabilities, especially when you enable 60 FPS. The feature essentially doubles the amount of frames per second when recording, taking iPhone 6 videos from 30 to 60 frames per second. To enable said feature, tap the Photos and Camera option within the main Settings, and toggle Record video at 60 FPS to on.

How to capture slow-motion video

Unlike previous iPhone models, the iPhone 6 is capable of capturing slow-motion videos, which are great for recording action videos. To enable the feature, launch the Camera app as you would normally, and select SLO-MO from the sliding wheel at the bottom of the screen. Then, choose between 120 and 240 frames per second.

How to capture photos using the volume keys

Snapping photos using the volume button is as easy as it sounds. With the Camera app open, simply press either the volume up or down button housed on the left-hand side of the smartphone. The process even works when using a pair of headphones featuring an inline remote and volume keys.

How to identify which apps are draining your battery

The iPhone 6 battery is certainly better than past models, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep an eye on which apps are draining your battery. To discover which are the most intensive, select General from within the main Settings panel. Afterward, select Usage followed by Battery Usage on the resulting page to see the list of culprits.

How to instantly send voice messages

Sending long-winded texts can be difficult, but fortunately, iOS allows you to send voice messages with ease. To record your message, tap and hold the microphone icon to the right of the text field when viewing a thread. Then, when finished recording, simply swipe up to send your message or slide right to cancel.

How to listen and respond to Audio messages like you would a phone call

Love sending audio messages, but hate listening to them alongside everyone in your vicinity? Enabling the Raise to Listen feature allows you to listen and reply to audio recordings like you would a normal phone call. To do so, select Messages within the main Settings panel, and toggle Raise to Listen to on.

How to change Siri’s pronunciation

Siri isn’t always the sharpest tool in the shed, at least when it comes to pronouncing more obscure names and words. That’s why Apple included a way to change how Siri pronounces specified terms. To do so, simply say “That’s not how you pronounce that” after Siri mispronounces a name or term. Afterward, Siri will ask you for the correct pronunciation and you’ll be given a list of viable pronunciation options to choose from.

Once you tap Signature you will be taken to the signature creation screen. If you’ve already created a signature select Add Signature, and it will be added to the document.

Step 4.

Step 5.
Tap and hold the signature to bring up the options menu.

Step 6.
Tap and hold the signature to move it to another location on your document.
Step 7.
After signing the document you can send it to the necessary recipient; no fax or scanning needed.

Foxit PDF

If you found using the trackpad too difficult you can select the Camera option instead.
Preview - Camera

Step 1.
Follow the directions and sign your name on a blank white paper. When done, hold that paper up tot he camera on your Mac. The camera will scan the signature and recreate it in Preview.
Preview - Signature Scan

Step 2.
Once the camera gets an accurate portrayal, tap Done to save the signature. Whenever you have document that you need to sign, tap the Signature icon and select one of your saved signatures will appear in the drop-down menu.
Those are three simple ways for any Apple user to sign a document with the need to scan or fax. Preview, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Foxit are all free applications that make creating digital signature super easy.
