Which VPN Tool is Best? [Hive Five Call For Contenders]

There's no place like home when it comes to security, and VPNs allow you to connect into a home network securely from a remote location. This week we want to hear about your favorite tool for the task.

Virtual Private Networks are networks built, virtually, over existing networks. You could, as a simple example, set up a VPN so that you and a friend could play a LAN-based game from two different locations. Businesses often have VPNs set up for the army of laptops they have roaming around in employee hands, keeping everyone on the same secure network regardless of where they travel.

This week we want to hear about your favorite software for establishing and maintaining VPNs and why the tool is your favorite.

Hive Five nominations take place in the comments, where you post your favorite tool for the job. We get hundreds of comments, so to make your nomination clear, please include it at the top of your comment like so: VOTE: VPN Software. Please don't include your vote in a reply to another commenter. Instead, make your vote and reply separate comments. If you don't follow this format, we may not count your vote. To prevent tampering with the results, votes from first-time commenters may not be counted. After you've made your nomination, let us know what makes it stand out from the competition.

About the Hive Five: The Hive Five feature series asks readers to answer the most frequently asked question we get: "Which tool is the best?" Once a week we'll put out a call for contenders looking for the best solution to a certain problem, then YOU tell us your favorite tools to get the job done. Every weekend, we'll report back with the top five recommendations and give you a chance to vote on which is best. For an example, check out last week's Five Best Music Streaming Services.
