The best VPN services are a great way to ensure privacy and security while browsing the internet. When using one, the traffic emanating from your IP cannot be traced back to you, providing you with an invisible cloak of anonymity. VPNs also come in handy for accessing geo-restricted content and international game sales, irrespective of your actual physical location.

In this article, we’ll explore why certain countries ban VPNs, how these bans are enforced, and the countries with the strictest VPN laws right now.
