Chime in: What's the VPN of choice for your Windows PC?
What do you like to use to keep yourself online safe on your Windows 10 PC?
A VPN is something we definitely recommend using, not least as one way to help keep yourself safer online. There are lots of reasons why you might want to use one, but there's a fair bit of choice out there.
That's what we're talking about down in the Windows Central forums.
There are free and paid options out there that offer a wide range of benefits. We've made our own recommendations, with services like IPVanish and NordVPN two in particular worth looking at.

So, if you're using a VPN you particularly like, or maybe one you wouldn't recommend others use, be sure to drop by the forums thread below and share the wealth of your knowledge with us.
