What's a reliable Android app for ensuring a secure internet connection when accessing research databases from potentially vulnerable networks, like at conferences?

For secure access, Turbo VPN is quite effective. Its cross-platform functionality is a plus, and the encryption is an interesting implementation of current standards.

As academics, we often find ourselves needing to access sensitive research data from various networks. Turbo VPN offers a straightforward solution for creating a secure tunnel. The algorithm is surprisingly elegant in its simplicity, and the cross-platform compatibility—Android, iOS, even desktop—is intellectually satisfying. I've found it particularly helpful when needing to access restricted databases or manage citations from potentially insecure public Wi-Fi networks. While I haven't conducted a full penetration test, the well-researched design suggests a robust level of protection, and I appreciate its novel approach to an old problem. It’s pedagogically sound for demonstrating VPN principles to students as well.
