"If one of your New Year's resolutions was to improve your cybersecurity, it's not too late. Most of the holiday deals are over by now, but plenty of services are still offering excellent prices. With access to a virtual private network (VPN), you can keep your activity hidden from your ISP and any advertisers it may sell that data to - all while streaming sporting events and TV dramas from all across the globe."
"We strongly recommend using a VPN, but if you jump on the very first deal you see, you might get stuck with a substandard app. It's also easy to mistakenly end up paying more than you want to, as otherwise respectable VPNs sometimes frame their prices in misleading ways, with advertised deals not always as available as they seem to be."
"Even with all those caveats, there are some great bargains on the table. Many of the best VPNs - including our top pick, Proton VPN - have deals that save you anywhere from 70 to 87 percent on annual subscriptions. Most of these discounts only apply if you sign up for a year or more, but if you divide the cost by the months of subscription, it's much cheaper over time."
Many VPN services are offering steep discounts on long-term plans, often saving 70 to 87 percent on annual or multi-year subscriptions. A VPN hides online activity from ISPs and advertisers and enables streaming of region-locked content. Caution is necessary because some deals come with misleading price framing or inferior apps if consumers grab the first offer they see. Several top providers bundle extra security tools with discounted plans, such as ad and tracker blockers, password managers, data-breach scanners, antivirus, and alerting services, increasing overall value for multi-year commitments.
