How to use VPN

You've spent hours researching VPNs for your remote team, and somehow you're more confused than when you started. You're not alone - I've talked to plenty of people who feel like they're drowning in a sea of similar-sounding options. I get it - every product claims to be 'the best' and the comparison sites all feel like ads in disguise. One specific pain point that really stands out is trying to find a VPN that's both secure and easy for your team to use. After testing 15+ different VPNs over the past year, I've learned what actually matters versus what's just marketing hype. In this guide, I'll break down which features are worth paying for, which ones are just fluff, and give you my honest picks based on real-world testing. I'll also cover the trade-offs you'll need to consider, like speed vs security, and which VPNs are best for teams on a budget. Spoiler: the best option might not be the most expensive one.
