Best VPN services 2025: The fastest VPNs with the best networks, ranked

zdnet.com Charlie Osborne 2025-07-19 09:40:16

Virtual private networks (VPNs) are essential security tools to stop others from spying on you online. A VPN encrypts your data and conceals your Internet Protocol (IP) address, making it a great tool for general online use, traveling, and streaming. VPNs route traffic through their server network, assigning users new IP locations and preventing tracking, targeted advertising, and data theft.

The Odyssey tells the story of one man’s long journey home after the Trojan War.

The film opens in theaters July 17, 2026, which is exactly one year from today. And, earlier this week, showtimes for the film began mysteriously showing up on ticketing websites.

A Meteor Impact May Have Caused a Giant Landslide in the Grand Canyon

How could the material possibly have reached that height?

To paraphrase Mean Girls, "stop trying to make hydrogen happen." For some years now, detractors of battery electric vehicles have held up hydrogen as a clean fuel panacea. That sometimes refers to hydrogen combustion engines, but more often, it's hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, or FCEVs. Both promise motoring with only water emitted from the vehicles' exhausts. It's just that hydrogen actually kinda sucks as a fuel, and automaker Stellantis announced today that it is ending the developmen
