A: Android, iOS, Mac, Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8), Linux, Nokia (some models), Blackberry (some models).

A: Not directly. You can use a VPN router, or use your laptop VPN connection.

Q: Can I connect my gaming console (PS3, Xbox Live, Nintendo DNS) to a VPN?

A: Same answer as internet TV.

Location > VPN server > VPN protocol(encryption)

Q: Are VPNs legal?

A: Yes. Unless you’re in a select few nations in the Middle East or Asia, they are legal because they’re legitimate business tools.

A: No. Many ordinary, non-hacker-type users use VPN services to protect their private data while using the internet on unsecured networks.

Q: Is using a VPN service totally private?

A: That’s up to debate. Some services draw the line at illegal activity. Some say you’re protected by the “willful ignorance” of the VPN service. For details on this please read about Private VPN vs Anonymous VPN.

Q: How much does a VPN cost?

A: For a single month of service you may pay $10 per month for high-end specialty services. For discount, lite packages you can pay as little as $4 per month. There are some free VPN ones out there, but they’re pretty crappy and not useful for long term privacy solutions.
