Beste VPNs (2026): unsere Top 3 von 17, im Ranking

Unsere Top drei VPNs

Proton VPN comes first because anyone can start on a free plan with no data cap, and VPN Plus covers 10 devices on computers, phones and browsers. hide.me is second and has the higher grade: it costs less over time, since its plans renew at the first-term price, but its free plan runs at restricted speeds. Surfshark is third for households with more than 10 devices. NordVPN and ExpressVPN narrowly missed: their apps have far more ratings, but they renew at $139.08 and $99.95 a year. Private Internet Access covers unlimited devices for $47.88 a year but has no trial.

1. 1

   Platz 1: Proton VPN

   Gratis-Plan · ab $83.88/jahr

   Für: Most people

   Proton VPN's free plan needs no card and has no data limit: one device, medium speed and servers in 10 countries that Proton picks for you. VPN Plus adds 10 devices, 20,000+ servers in 140+ countries, streaming, P2P and the NetShield blocker, at $83.76 for the first 24 months and then $83.88 a year. Its apps are open source and audited, and run on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and Android and as a browser extension. Its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.65 from about 120,500 ratings. Know the limits: the free plan covers one device and you cannot choose its country, and monthly billing is $9.99.

2. 2

   Platz 2: hide.me

   Gratis-Plan · ab $2.69/monat

   Für: People who want the price to stay the same at renewal

   hide.me's Premium covers 10 devices across 92 locations, with port forwarding, a fixed IP, multihop, split tunneling and an audited no-logs policy, on the same computers, phones and browsers as Proton VPN. The 26-month plan is $69.99 and renews at that same price, about $2.69 a month, where Proton VPN renews at $83.88 a year. The free plan needs no sign-up. Its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.5 from about 7,900 ratings. It is second because its free plan does less: one device and 8 locations at restricted speeds, and its own pages disagree on whether free data is capped at 10GB a month. Its Bolt speed technology is described for Windows only.

3. 3

   Platz 3: Surfshark

   Kostenlose Testphase · ab $79/jahr

   Für: Households with more than 10 devices

   Surfshark puts no limit on how many devices one account connects, and runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android and in the browser, with an ad blocker, MultiHop and masked email addresses included. The first 27 months of Starter cost $67.23, and it then renews at $79 a year. Its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.7 from about 132,000 ratings. It is third because there is no free plan, the 7-day free trial needs PayPal, Apple Pay or a card and covers only 3 devices, and after the first term it costs more than hide.me, whose 26-month plan renews at $69.99. Monthly billing is $16.45.
