2013-05-08
hello again ladies and gentlemen i'm joe hindi the android authority app guy do you like Virtual Private Networks I know I do and after the intro will show you a few good VPN apps for Android we'll start out with Heitmann VPN which has more than enough features for the casual VPN user it's also simple enough for the beginner VPN user the free version starts out with 6 free hours of service but then you must buy it to get any further time so plenty of time to experiment when you open the interface it'll show your location and the country you want to connect to there's a pretty decent list of countries you can connect to and even more when you buy it using it is pretty easy pick your country then hit connect and you'll start a VPN for that country nice and easy next on our little list here is hive ninja VPN this very simple VPN app follows many of the same steps as Heidemann VPN does the app opens to a very easy to understand interface that shows your current location the location you want to connect to and a nice big connect button like the first app you can choose which country you want to connect to there is a much smaller list than - VPN but some people really only need a couple of countries the United States is only available in the pro version so people who want to use this to use Google services will have to pay for it hotspot Shield VPN is the most simple VPN app on this list and probably the best for beginners who don't know much about Virtual Private Networks you open the app you hit the connect button and all of a sudden you're connected to a virtual private network it doesn't have the options that the other VPN apps do for instance it doesn't give you the option to select which country you want it does however offer things like data compression to lower your data usage when you're on the limited network as with all of these VPN apps the free offering is limited and you have to buy the pro version to get all of the benefits last on our list of VPN apps for the beginner is tunnel Bayer VPN this is another very simple to use VPN app where one essentially taps a button and connects it's very nice and simple and when you connect there's an animation of a bear tunneling no one can hate that at the top there are knobs that let you choose your country and switch the Virtual Private Network on or off aside from these knobs there isn't much else to the app like the rest you're limited unless you upgrade but this app gives you 500 megabytes per month to play with before they make you buy it it's really not that bad of a deal we don't really have a leaderboard for this one because when it comes to VPN apps it's all about finding the one that works best for you while these apps all have similar features people have reported them all working and people have also reported them all not working at times there are also hundreds more VPN apps in the Google Play Store some maintain the simplicity while others let you get really in-depth with your VPN settings if you're not 100% sure what a VPN even is staff writer Brad Ward has an excellent post on using VPNs on Android and you can find the link for that below once again on Joe handy the Android authority app guy feel free to subscribe to our YouTube channel and check out our social media links in the video description
