Why you need an iPhone VPN?

Now that you know which are the best iPhone VPNs on sale right now, let's see why you should use such software in the first place.

A virtual private network (VPN)'s main job is encrypting all your internet connections to prevent third parties from snooping on your online activities. This is especially important when connecting your smartphone to public Wi-Fi as cybercriminals could use these unsecured hotspots to launch attacks and compromise your device.

A VPN also masks your real IP address location. It does so by rerouting your connection through one of its international servers instead. IP-spoofing not only considerably boosts your anonymity on the internet, but it also grants you access to otherwise geo-restricted content – whether that's a foreign streaming library or a censored website. This skill is especially handy when you're traveling abroad and need to access online services as you would do at home.

Remember, many providers these days do not offer just a VPN. The likes of Surfshark, NordVPN, ProtonVPN, ExpressVPN, and others all come with built-in malware and ad-blocker to boost your device security as well, for example. Some also offer a password manager tool to help you stay on top of your account logins within a couple of clicks.
