We use and recommend the virtual private network, Private Internet Access. Here are the features they offer.
I recently signed up for a year at $39.95. Don't you think that is quite the deal to help protect you while you're on the web? My husband and I just had a mini staycation in the city and it felt good to know we were protected on mobile and our laptops.

I’ve been looking into this for some time. But I am a little concerned about the $80 one time subscription VPN’s because I don’t know how reliable they are or if the company will go under.
Do you have any experience with these?

I would not recommend Tunnel Bear. The wait time to connect to any country on this list is several minutes. They offer TB for free, and it seems the wait time is the same. I have contacted Tech Support a couple of times recently and have yet to hear from them. So the support for their product is poor.
