ARTICLE ADYou shouldn't leave security and privacy at home when traveling abroad for work or pleasure. A travel virtual private network (VPN) can keep your data safe and give you peace of mind when you're on the go. The service you use at home may be great for streaming movies, but VPNs are also a vital tool to protect your data abroad.
Connecting to Wi-Fi in an airport, hotel, or café may be convenient, but it definitely isn't secure. That's where a VPN comes to the rescue. The best VPNs create secure tunnels that protect your internet traffic, providing an extra layer of protection so your financial information or login credentials are at lower risk of exposure or theft.
ZDNET tested the best travel VPNs to help you find the top option to keep your connections safe and secure. Thanks to its fast and reliable connections, NordVPN is our top choice for the best travel VPN overall.

In our review of NordVPN, it had a fast and reliable connection and was generally consistent across a wide range of test situations. If you're traveling, you can likely depend on NordVPN no matter where you're connecting from.

Review: NordVPN offers consistent speed and performance
Overall, NordVPN is one of the best choices, especially for travel. It has a 30-day money-back guarantee, which should give you enough time to test the product and see if it's the right fit for you. You can select between Complete, Plus, and Standard, the difference being access to a password manager, data breach scanner, or encrypted cloud storage service.
Prices start from $2.99 per month on a Standard two-year plan. One-year plans start at $4.49. If you also want cybersecurity protections and coverage for identity theft, consider the Ultimate subscription, which begins at $5.99/month.
At the time of writing, NordVPN is running a promotion for new subscribers, giving away three months of additional access for free when you choose a one or two-year plan.
