Honorable Mention: ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN offers what is perhaps the fastest and most secure VPN on the market.  VPN technology is very important for students.  From an academic perspective, it allows students to conduct research online from regional resources through the use of overseas VPN servers.  Yet, it is perhaps in a student’s personal life where VPNs shine brightest.  Not only can a VPN ensure security on WiFi by encrypting traffic, it can also help students circumvent school censorship of various social media and streaming services that most cannot live without in the digital age.  The only reason it’s not within the Top 10 list itself is that ExpressVPN is available on every device imaginable, from phones to routers, gaming consoles to computers.
