A VPN (Virtual Private Network) can improve the privacy and security of your mobile device when it connects to Wi-Fi networks or mobile data networks. It will shield your identity from ad tracking and unsafe public Wi-Fi networks, keep your ISP from throttling your connection speed and even allow you to access regions-specific streaming services libraries. A good Android VPN has a wide range of features like boosted data encryption and obfuscated server, DNS leak protection, Split Tunneling and an Ad Blocker and more.
