VPN & Security Tools
A VPN isn’t something everyone needs all the time. But for creators, remote workers, and travelers, it can be genuinely useful in a few specific situations — without fear-based marketing.
When a VPN actually helps
- Using public Wi-Fi (cafes, airports, hotels)
- Working while traveling or on unfamiliar networks
- Reducing tracking tied to your IP address
When it doesn’t
- It won’t stop malware or phishing
- It won’t fix weak passwords
- It won’t make you completely anonymous online
Recommended VPN providers
Two solid options to start with. Simple apps, widely used, and good for travel/public Wi-Fi.
⭐ All-around pick
NordVPN
Strong overall option if you want speed + security with apps that are easy to use.
💸 Value pick
Surfshark
Often more affordable and great if you want to cover lots of devices (laptop + phone + tablet).
Tip: If you mostly work at home on trusted Wi-Fi, you may not need a VPN 24/7 — but it’s worth having for travel.
