ExpressVPN doesn’t provide a free or trial version. But I think it’s worth spending some money on a good service like ExpressVPN. According to the company, they don’t store any traffic logs! This is a huge plus for a VPN service. And, they offer Unlimited bandwidth and military grade encryption (AES-256).
They have a huge network of 3000+ VPN servers that are optimized for fast connections. With a single subscription, you can connect five devices to ExpressVPN at the same time, regardless of platform (including virtual machines). You can install ExpressVPN on any number of devices, but only five devices can be connected at any one time.
If you want to use the service on more than 5 devices, purchase additional subscriptions, or share your connection from a Windows or Mac computer, or set up a VPN router and connect as many devices to it as you wish.

TunnelBear doesn’t collect any of what you browse while connected to the service. But they collect some generic information like the version of your operating system and the TunnelBear app, the number of active sessions you use per month (but not the time spent on the VPN), your total data usage every month, and etc.
