We also liked the fact that Malwarebytes let us try out their Privacy VPN for free for a week. And while we’re not thrilled that we could only sign up for a year, at least that came out to as little as $3.33 a month, which didn’t put too big a hole in our pockets. Sure, Malwarebytes isn’t one of the cheapest VPNs we’ve ever tested, but it’s far from the most expensive (we’re looking at you, ExpressVPN!). This assured us that we were truly browsing the web privately when we had Malwarebytes connected. Malwarebytes WebRTC Leak Test WIndows AES-256 EncryptionĪnother win for privacy is the fact that the Privacy VPN uses AES-256, which the U.S military also uses for encryption, so you know it’s strong. While we’re not thrilled that the company itself is based in the U.S, a Five Eyes founding member, at least they wouldn’t have any important data to share with the federal government, even if forced under the law. Rather, they only logged a public key to establish a VPN connection in the first place. Much to our delight, Malwarebytes hardly logged any of our information like the websites we visited, our IP addresses, or how much bandwidth we used. That’s why we make sure to check each VPN’s privacy policy to make sure that they’re not logging what we do online or our devices’ IP addresses. No Traffic LoggingĪccording to our VPN research, four in 10 people use VPNs for general privacy, while about two in 10 use them to hide their web activity from search engines such as Google. Here’s what we liked the most about the Privacy VPN. However, pricing information isn’t complete without some context about what you’re actually paying for.
