VPNs for ad-blocking Interestingly, there is one part of online personal security that’s sometimes overlooked, at least by the typical web user. We’re talking about ads. Advertising on websites is both annoying at times and also dangerous. Few of us who visit a media streaming or file locker site like to see dozens of banner ads sprayed all over the page, but if you visit a disreputable site and click on an ad by mistake, you could unknowingly install a malware client or virus on your computer. Thankfully, these top VPN services include an ad blocker that not only hides all of the obnoxious ads on a website but also protects you from malicious ads. These top picks for best VPN service for ad blockers also include robust security for the actual VPN connection. NordVPN is one of our top picks overall for its professional interface, high number of VPN servers available (5,760), and quick speed. As an added bonus, this VPN service includes the CyberSec feature as well. It’s mostly intended to alert you and block malicious sites known to distribute malware and viruses. It also blocks ads, which can be another way to distribute harmful code and unwanted installs if you click on the ad by mistake. There’s something quite amazing about the TunnelBear ad blocker. For starters, it works as a Google Chrome extension and is ever vigilant about ads on every website. Yet it’s also entirely free even if you are not a TunnelBear user. Anyone can grab it from the Google Chrome store. Apart from that, TunnelBear is also a top pick for powerful security protocols like 256-bit AES and a clean and even fun interface. Similar to how NordVPN includes an ad blocker as a security measure, the CleanWeb blocker in Surfshark is really intended to protect you from clicking on ads that are known to distribute malware and viruses. A side benefit is that if a site is cluttered with too many ads, by blocking ads, you can navigate the site faster and easier. Surfshark also offers an optional encryption protocol called ChaCha that can protect all online activity. Advertising in and of itself is not the enemy. In fact, most quality websites use a few ads here and there and they are not obnoxious at all. But you never know if an ad is legit (some of them look like a part of the actual website). Ad blockers, like those included with some VPN service providers, can help protect you and also make websites easier to use. But with an ad blocker, you don’t even see the ads and can’t click on them. It means you won’t venture away from the website you are using and, in some cases (such as the CyberSec feature included with NordVPN), even if you could click the ad, the site would be blocked. On top of an ad blocker, look for a VPN service with a decent number of security protocols available. It’s a leading indicator of security prowess. All of the VPN services on our list provide a wide selection of encryption options and also claim not to record any of your Internet activity on top of providing protection through ad blockers.
