Subj : I discovered 3 criminally underused VPN features and they're all To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Thu Nov 13 2025 19:45:07 I discovered 3 criminally underused VPN features and they're all on sale right now! Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2025 19:30:00 +0000 Description: These VPNs can do more than you think, and few people realise! FULL STORY ====================================================================== The best VPNs are now all equipped with the key security features you'd come to expect. Kill switches, multi-hop servers, and obfuscation capabilities are no longer a unique selling point for providers. In fact, many are now creating their own, unique privacy solutions to tempt you in. These vary from new digital identities to secure file sharing solutions, but often, these features go completely unused or unnoticed. I've personally tested all of these features and absolutely love them, which is why it baffles me that they're aren't talked about more. What's more, they're all on sale right now, and the very best come from three of our top-rated providers: Surfshark , Proton VPN , and NordVPN . I've laid out everything you need to know below, so you won't miss out. One-click customizability Proton VPN's Profiles is a simple enough concept; you create and save a list of settings that you can turn on with one click. This means you can have one setup specifically for casual streaming, another for low-latency gaming, and so on. While several smaller providers offer something similar, Proton takes it a step further with the option to customize everything from your NAT type to DNS settings. Whats more, it can be set up to automatically launch specific websites or apps when you connect. This means your streaming profile doesn't just secure your connection, it'll also load up Netflix. For me, what really elevates Profiles is its simplicity. Despite the advanced customizability, everything is clearly explained for beginners and you can access your setups from anywhere even using Proton's mobile widgets. Get Proton VPN at its lowest price of 2025! Proton VPN has only dropped below $2 once in recent memory, and with its reliable performance and Swiss security, there's little to complain about. It's not stacked with features, but what it has are thought out and effective, giving you the tools you need to stay secure day in, day out. View Deal An entire new persona For the best cheap VPN , Surfshark never ceases to surprise me with the sheer number of features it offers for the price. That said, one stands head and shoulders above the rest Alternate ID is unique. It creates a whole new digital persona for you, including a new name, age, address, and email address. These personas can be used to securely sign up for websites, newsletters, and more, without putting your actual data at risk. I spent a week using an Alternative ID earlier this year, and its only major drawback is that it's only properly optimized only for the US at the moment (where you can add an alternative phone number). How to access Surfshark's best features To access more of Surfshark's features, we recommend a Surfshark One plan. Right now, these are only $2.19/month and come with three months extra. They're packed with all the features we love, plus more you can explore. View Deal Limitless sharing Finally, there's Meshnet. NordVPN tried to kill off this feature earlier in 2025, supposedly due to lack of popularity. But its loyal users banded together, and NordVPN ultimately reversed the decision . Meshnet allows you to create a secure Local Access Network (LAN) between up to 60 devices. The devices can be anything from your mobile phone or laptop to a media center, regardless of where they are physically located. Once added, you can access any device remotely, share files between them, and even game on them as if you were sitting in the same room. Over the past year, Ive almost exclusively switched to using Meshnet for file transfers. From experience, its one of the fastest file transfer systems Ive found, plus the additional security benefits. What's more, its easily accessible on any NordVPN app, and took me seconds to set up, despite its underlying complexities. More to bring to the table! There's more available than just Meshnet, too. NordVPN's ad, tracker, and malware tool was the best we tested; some plans have the best password manager available thrown in, and there are servers in more countries than any other VPN for you to choose from.
