Premium vs. free VPN service for Xbox
“If you’re getting something for free, you are the product.” Free VPNs earn money by collecting and selling their users’ data and/or bombarding them with ads. Why get a subpar VPN with few server locations that exposes information about you to anyone willing to pay? Get a premium one and enjoy:

No logs or ads
Free VPNs rely on selling your data or swarming you with ads to keep themselves running. A premium VPN service will never do that.

Unlimited data
Free VPNs limit how long you can stay connected to their servers or how much data you can use and download. Premium VPNs don’t.

Thousands of servers
More VPN servers - fewer people, which means a faster VPN connection. Paid VPNs have thousands more servers than free ones.

Blazing speeds
Maintaining fast servers and minimizing speed drops takes a lot of resources. Resources that free VPNs don’t have.
Get an Xbox VPN and enjoy other benefits like
Safe streaming & entertainment
Whether you’re streaming Netflix or playing video games, keep your VPN ON and you’ll be able to enjoy safe online travels. And the best part about it – you shouldn’t notice a difference in your internet speed!
No bandwidth throttling
Your Internet Service Provider knows what you do online if you don’t use a VPN. They can use this information to slow down (throttle) your connection if you’re gaming, streaming, or sharing files.
Protection from sore losers
Ever got threatened to get hacked, DDoSed, or SWATted after owning someone in a game? All these threats are empty if you use a VPN. It hides your IP and online identity for complete privacy.
