ISO-certified independent security testing lab AV-Comparatives has released details of its 2021 certification tests for Android VPN products, run in collaboration with PC Magazin. VPN (virtual private network) products encrypt the user’s Internet traffic, and hide their real IP address, thus ensuring their security and privacy. They can also be used to access geo-blocked web content.
