Looking for a VPN Service? 

When it comes to looking for the best VPN service, it’s important to background check those providing you the service. Free services such as iNinja, PortonVPN, Betternet, and many other VPN services may be possibly logging your information and selling it to third parties. If you’re not being sold a product, you’re most likely the product. These services may have good reason to be selling your data: one, they need to maintain and run the servers to provide the service, and two they need money to keep the organization or program alive.

Though there are many VPN services out there that reap profit from the data of their consumers by selling it to third parties, there are services that respect your privacy. If you’re looking to remain anonymous and care for your privacy, which might be the reason you’re looking for a VPN, here are some credible VPN providers: ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and Surfshark. These VPN service providers don’t log Incoming and outgoing IP addresses; browsing, downloading or purchasing history.

Here in Northwestern, we offer our own secure private VPN service for anyone with a NetID and password, but this access is only recommended when one is conducting Northwestern related business. Though some VPN services aren’t always free, they’re at a relatively low cost when it comes to protecting your privacy.
