Best VPN for Plex, and Other Streaming Apps

ISP throttling frustrates most of the internet users and annoying practice is unethical and deceptive. ISPs tend to slow down the speed when a connection tries to consume more bandwidth which mostly happens in the case of streaming activities. Also, Regional restrictions on media disappoint streaming geeks. At last but not least, hackers are always chasing distracted internet users to intercept and steal their data.

But a good VPN service, can protect the internet connection from all those inconveniences.
