A Pair of hands holding an Android phone with NordVPN .

Having one of the best VPNs on your computer is no longer enough – it's essential to protect your phone while out and about too, and the best Android VPNs are a great starting point. When connected to a VPN you can use public Wi-Fi with confidence by encrypting your internet traffic, and that's not even mentioning the streaming benefits. 

VPNs may appear to be a bit of technical wizardry, but you don't need to be a computer genius or movie-level super-hacker to set one up. We'll show you ourselves by installing our #1 choice of VPN, NordVPN, on an Android phone. If you have a different VPN in mind, don't worry – the process will be very similar.
