Summarize:

When you subscribe to a VPN service, you usually receive a username, a password, and a VPN server address. VPN subscriptions are not free, and are often billed monthly. ExpressVPN is generally considered one of the best choices for Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, and Linux. Downloading free VPN software is a different process, as doing so gives you a program that will block your IP address in all browsers but must be turned on and off. Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Click the gear-shaped icon in the lower-left side of the Start window. It's the globe-shaped icon in the Settings window. This option is on the left side of the window. It's at the top of the window. A new window will open. Click the "VPN provider" drop-down box at the top of the page, click Windows (built-in), and then enter your VPN subscription's address in the "Server name or address" text field. You can also add a name for the VPN in the "Name" text field. If your VPN requires a username and/or password, enter these credentials in the "User name" and "Password" text fields. You can change the type of VPN authentication used by clicking the "Type of sign-in info" drop-down box and then selecting a different option in the resulting drop-down menu. It's at the bottom of the menu. Click the VPN's name near the top of the page, then click Connect below it. This will connect you to your VPN service, at which point all browsing regardless of browser or Internet connection will be hidden. You may need to enter a username and/or password before your VPN will connect.
