If you do a lot of work out of the home on public, or even public but secured, Wi-Fi networks you need a VPN for your phone or other mobile device that will anonymize your traffic and prevent your personally identifiable information from being handed over to an attacker on a silver platter.

One thing to note here: I'm not including any free VPNs in this list of five, each of which is a premium product.

I've also written this to include VPNs that only have apps for both iOS and Android, but you may notice a big name is missing: ExpressVPN, which was purchased by Kape Technologies in September, 2021.

IPVanish isn't nearly as big as NordVPN or some of the other players in the mobile VPN space, but it does offer something that a lot of other apps don't: lots of customization options that give it more flexibility than other VPN services.

Surfshark offers many of the options that other VPNs do, but with some neat additional features that make it ideal for people planning to travel internationally, especially to places where VPN traffic may be seen as suspicious.

A VPN that packs in other security: PIA. PIA, or Private Internet Access, is a relatively small player in the mobile VPN space, but that just means it's going to try harder to get your attention.
