Shield?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VirtualShield is an online security suite built around a VPN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It packs a VPN, antivirus, and identity theft protection into one subscription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The VirtualShield VPN encrypts internet traffic with AES-256 and the ChaCha20-Poly1305 cipher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/fahimai.com\/openvpn\" title=\"OpenVPN\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"168022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OpenVPN<\/a> is its main protocol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike other VPN providers, it issues a randomly generated connection ID per successful connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The suite also scans the dark web for your private data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trade-off is a tiny network of 20 servers in 12 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image193291_c4ad77-1a .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image193291_c4ad77-1a

blue-box is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>All Around Security:<\/strong> One app covers VPN, antivirus, and identity protection. You manage one bill instead of three.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dark Web Monitoring:<\/strong> VirtualShield watches for leaked personal details. You get real-time alerts and help fixing the damage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Malware and Ad Blocking:<\/strong> Special servers block harmful sites, adware, and malware. The antivirus also scans offline files and apps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Streaming Access:<\/strong> You can reach Netflix content, Hulu, and Amazon Prime from other regions. BBC iPlayer results are weaker.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Torrent Friendly:<\/strong> The service allows torrenting with mainstream P2P apps. A kill switch protects you if the tunnel drops.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Responsive Support:<\/strong> 24\/7 live chat backs every plan. Premium phone support gives tech support a direct line.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image193296_94389a-f3 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure

Malwarebytes is a security brand first and a VPN company second. Its lean, fast VPN rides alongside strong antivirus software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our not so humble opinion, Malwarebytes is the better pure VPN. If privacy is your sole purpose, pick it for price, speed, and audits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most households, though, VirtualShield delivers more protection from one login. Just read the add-on and billing terms first, since complaints there dent the customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns140311_e37050-01, .site .entry-content
