随着时间的流逝，世界变得越来越紧密，每个人都可以充分利用 VPN(sense for everyone to take advantage of VPNs)。但是，并非当今市场上的所有选项都值得您花时间。我们将解释为什么某些VPN(VPNs)不应该出现在您的列表中，至少在很长一段时间内都不会出现。
如何选择VPN
现在是时候为安全(Security)和隐私(Privacy)使用 VPN 软件(use VPN software)了！如果您认真对待隐私，则必须了解导致不良VPN的原因。(VPN)做出错误的选择可能会使您的信息落入坏人手中。
- 经营国家
- 服务条款
- 记录您的活动
- 支持的设备
- 检查是否支持所有首选位置
- 确保退款保证
让我们更详细地看一下。
1] 运营国家
选择VPN 软件(VPN software)时，考虑服务所在的位置非常重要。如果VPN提供商位于美国、英国、澳大利亚(Australia)、新西兰(New Zealand)、加拿大(Canada)或所有国家，请三思而后行。你看，上面提到的所有国家都是五眼(Five Eyes)条约的一部分。此外，还有九眼(Nine Eyes)，包括法国(France)、挪威(Norway)、丹麦(Denmark)、荷兰(Netherlands)，还有原来的五眼(Five Eyes)。
更糟糕的是，我们现在有了十四眼(Fourteen Eyes)条约，它由比利时(Belgium)、意大利(Italy)、德国(Germany)、西班牙(Spain)、瑞典和(Sweden)九眼(Nine Eyes)的所有成员组成。
2]服务条款
在注册VPN服务之前，您必须从头到尾阅读服务(Service)条款。这是他们隐藏所有可能会或可能不会影响您的隐私的有趣细节的地方。如果服务(Service)条款不明确，请直接联系提供商以获得全面了解。
3]记录您的活动
一个好的VPN服务提供商不会记录用户的活动。如果这样做了，那么它只是意味着有人可以看到你在网络上所做的事情。此外(Furthermore)，您的IP 地址(IP address)不会被窥探。
日志记录意味着您在网络上所做的任何事情都可以追溯到您。此外，我们应该指出，一些VPN提供商声称他们不记录活动，但根本没有从表面上看。为了获得更好的知识，请继续阅读服务(Service)条款并直接致电他们，按照我们上面的建议进行操作。
4]支持的设备
在决定使用VPN服务之前，必须首先确保它支持所有主要平台。大多数支持Windows、Mac、Android、Linux和 iOS ，但也有一些支持有限的，如果您将来选择切换平台，这并不好。
此外，在继续付款之前，人们应该检查支持多少连接设备。
5]检查(Check)是否支持所有首选位置
环游世界很有趣，但与此同时，我们最终可能会前往一个隐私法有限的国家。在这种情况下，您需要确保您要投资的VPN服务能够在这些国家/地区正常运行。
例如，我们知道中国(China)以其严厉的审查法而闻名，因此在这种情况下，VPN服务必须在该国表现良好。

6]确保退款保证
并非每个VPN提供商的工作方式都相同，因此检查该服务是否有退款保证以防万一它不符合您的要求是很有意义的。没有人愿意陷入这样一种情况，如果他们讨厌质量，几乎不可能将自己从合同中删除。
一个好的VPN将允许用户在不附加任何条件的特定日期退出合同。钱被退回，因此，用户可以自由地尝试另一个。

How to choose a VPN service for your Windows PC
With the world becoming more connected as the days go bу, it makes a lot of sense for everyone to take advantage of VPNs. However, not all the options available on the market today are worthy of your time. We are going to explain why some VPNs should not be on your list, at least, not for a very long time to come.
How to choose a VPN
It is now time to use VPN software also for Security and Privacy! Knowing what makes for a bad VPN is imperative if you take privacy seriously. Making the wrong choice could see your information in the wrong hands.
- Country of operations
- Terms of Service
- Logging your activity
- Supported Devices
- Check if all preferred locations are supported
- Ensure moneyback guarantee
Let us look at this in more detail.
1] Country of operations
When selecting a VPN software, it is very important to take into consideration where the service is based. If the VPN provider is located in either the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, or all, then think thrice. You see, all the countries mentioned above are a part of the Five Eyes treaty. Additionally, there is also the Nine Eyes, which includes France, Norway, Denmark, The Netherlands, and the original Five Eyes.
To make matters worse, we now have the Fourteen Eyes treaty, which consists of Belgium, Italy, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and all members of the Nine Eyes.
2] Terms of Service
Before signing up for a VPN service, it is imperative that you read the Terms of Service from the first word to the last. This is where they hide all the juicy details that may or may not affect your privacy. If the Terms of Service is not clear, then contact the provider directly to get a full understanding.
3] Logging your activity
A good VPN service provider does not log the activity of the user. If this is done, then it simply means someone could get to see what you’ve been up to on the web. Furthermore, your IP address is not locked away from prying eyes.
Logging means whatever you do on the web could be traced right back to you. Additionally, we should point out that some VPN providers claim they do not log activities, but do not take this at face value at all. For better knowledge, go on ahead and do what we recommend above by reading the Terms of Service, and calling them directly.
4] Supported devices
Before deciding on the VPN service to use, one must first make sure it supports all the major platforms. Most support Windows, Mac, Android, Linux, and iOS, but there are others with limited support which is not good if you choose to switch platforms in the future.
Additionally, folks should check how many connected devices are supported before moving forward with payment.
5] Check if all preferred locations are supported
Traveling around the world is fun, but at the same time, we may end up traveling to a country with limited privacy laws. In a case like this, you will need to make sure the VPN service you want to invest in is capable of working properly in these countries.
For example, we know China is known for its draconian censorship laws, so in that case, the VPN service must perform well in that country.

6] Ensure moneyback guarantee
Not every VPN provider works the same, so it makes a lot of sense to check if the service has a moneyback guarantee just in case it’s not up your alley. No one wants to fall in a situation where its nearly impossible to remove themselves from a contract if they hate the quality.
A good VPN will allow the user to walk out of a contract at a specific date with no strings attached. The money is returned, and as such, the user is free to try another.
