Google has historically announced its new Android hardware in October, even if it didn't have much new to show. For instance, in 2020 it released the solitary Pixel 5, a basic mid-range phone—but 2024 is the polar opposite. Google has moved up its Pixel unveiling, and the company has a cornucopia of new hardware announcements. There are not one, not two, not three, but four new Pixel phones coming, plus earbuds and a smartwatch. It's a good time to be a Pixel fan.

While VPNs, or virtual private networks, are great at protecting your privacy, there's an unavoidable trade-off: They slow down your internet speeds, often by 50% or more. It's the nature of how VPNs work, and there's really no way around it. A VPN encrypts your internet traffic and routes your connection through a remote server. Though this keeps your online activity private, it is this process that's primarily responsible for the speed loss. It takes time to encrypt and decrypt your traffic and for your data to make the round trip to the VPN server and back to your device. However, there are several things you can try if you want to achieve the fastest possible speeds from your VPN connection.
