The Snoopers Charter gives these 48 organisations unlimited, secret access to all UK browsing history

No, I don’t know anything about Cyberghost, sorry. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a VPN provider, though.

  1. Logs. Does the service keep logs of user activity. Most reputable VPN providers do not keep any logs of user activity. If there are no logs, governments and industries can’t use them against you.
  2. Number of servers in various countries. Generally, you want a provider that maintains a large number of VPN servers in several different countries. This has several benefits both from a privacy and performance perspective.
  3. Number of allowed devices. Most VPN providers seem to limit the number of devices you can use with their service. Most people are okay with being limited to three or five devices, but you might need more. For instance, you might want to simultaneously connect your router, your phone, and your laptop when traveling. You might have additional family devices you want to connect on the same service.
  4. Compatibility. Make sure that all of your devices can connect to the service. Some providers only support a proprietary VPN client that may or may not be supported on all of your devices. I chose airvpn in part because they use OpenVPN, which is an open source protocol that has clients on all major platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, and many routers.
