The 5 best VPNs for Android 2019
In our large VPN provider Test 2019, we have already dealt in great detail with the possible applications of VPN solutions. In addition to anonymous surfing and the protection of privacy, the use of services with geoblocking is a decisive factor for many of you.
Of course, all these purposes also play a role for your smartphones and tablets. But there is another very important aspect to mobile devices: secure surfing in public WLANs. The number of free hotspots at home and abroad is constantly increasing: whether in the local outdoor pool, in the ICE or at the airport.
In contrast to your home network, the complete data transmission in such a public network can be read by all registered devices.
At this point, it is best to use a VPN service that directly establishes an encrypted channel between your smartphone or tablet and the Internet. This will prevent other participants in the same network from eavesdropping on you.
In this article you will learn more about the 5 best VPN services for Android that I favor for these purposes.
VPN usage under Android
As soon as you have established a VPN connection, the VPN client of your smartphone encrypts the data traffic. The request is forwarded via a VPN server to the desired website or service.
You should always use such a service in a public WLAN if you want to transfer confidential data.
Android VPNs - the best at a glance
Setting up a VPN connection is just as easy under Android as it is under Windows or mac or OS. All providers considered in the VPN User Test 2019 also offer you an Android App, which you can use for free with a paid access.
Of course there are big differences between Android and the desktop operating systems in the handling and functionality of the solutions. I took a close look at the individual apps of the providers and tested them according to the categories functions, user friendliness and speed.
The speed measurements were done on the HTC U11 Life with the current Android One operating system. I use UnityMedia as my service provider, whereby my Internet connection offers a download rate of 150 megabits per second and an upload rate of 10 megabits per second. These are also reached in current measurements with the Speedtest App.
The most important additional criteria, which we have already considered in the detailed individual evaluations, can be found in the respective Pro and Contra overviews.
