I use Private Internet Access - who have an app. It's as simple as entering your username / password to their app, then turning it on / off in the same app.
I'm sure there are other methods mind.

One thing to bear in mind is that you will take a bit of a battery hit using a VPN on your phone.
On the other hand, some mobile networks do block sites (I think you need to request the filter to be taken off or something). For instance 3 block the Private Internet Access site.
There may be a bit of a speed hit but you wouldn't notice unless you're constantly downloading large files.
The main thing I use it for (I use PIA too) is connecting to public wi-fi, I don't use that without being connected to a VPN.
You basically sign up on the website ($3 a month or whatever), they give you a username and password, you download the app, put in the username and password and off you go.
Also works on 5 devices at once so you can have it on phone, tablet, PC, etc

to VPN or to not VPN?
ok so im not very technically minded so bear with me. Can I VPN on a phone? how easy/hard is it? are there any obvious downsides? is it slower? what does it protect or not protect? I have a nexus 6p via google currently with a 3 unlimited data sim. (if any of that helps.)
