The Best VPNs for India

India is a country with mixed internet censorship laws, so choosing a well rounded VPN provider is important. Independent monitoring groups have noted that throughout the past year internet access for those residing in India has become increasingly monitored with numerous sites being blocked at the request of the government to control outbreaks of unrest in several locations throughout the country. Whilst there is no sustained effort to continually block large communication networks there is continual pressure on ISPs to closely monitor and log their users actions with some judicial and criminal proceedings gaining evidence from these logs. The Indian government is also known to utilise DNS filtering, URL filtering and Packet filtering as well as some Deep Packet Inspection so for secure, anonymous browsing Indian internet users should use a VPN. Access to social networking is largely unhindered though access to streaming services such as Hulu and Pandora are restricted meaning an international IP address will be required. There are several VPN services located within India offering localised infrastructure, support and potentially the best connection speeds.

We have completed a number of tests that rate VPN providers on several criteria so we can cater our recommendations specifically for Indian VPN users. For your ease of use, I have compiled the best VPNs for Indian users in the table below. If you are interested in reading the reviews on each provider I highly recommend browsing the extensive review section.

The VPNs listed below are also recommended as good all rounders. None of the below do any deep logging of their users, so your activity is completely anonymous. They also turn a blind eye to file sharing and torrenting, so they are suitable for filesharing. Finally, they all offer multi platform, so they also suit mobile, tablet and desktop users.
