You know you need a VPN by now, right? It’s the first, easiest, and most effective line of defense against snoops and spies, and it helps you watch Netflix in different countries at the press of a button. In short: it’s essential.

There are virtual VPNs, which you can connect to from your very own wifi connection on your device, and then there are devices themselves that facilitate this, too. Here are the very best VPN-ready routers that you can take and use anywhere, to keep your connection private and safe.
