Most of us probably don't bat an eye when we do banking, pay bills or use our data online. However, services such as a virtual private network can be a great investment in your peace of mind. VPNs can help protect your precious data and privacy as you browse the internet by encrypting your internet connection so you can safely browse away. They're also incredibly useful for film and TV enthusiasts who want to explore international streaming entertainment.
Right now, one of our favorite VPN services, Surfshark, is offering a huge discount on all plans, cutting prices by up to 87% on its two-year plans, with plans starting at just $2 per month. If that wasn't enough, it's also throwing in three extra months of protection completely free. Keep in mind that this deal ends soon, so it's worth signing up now before prices rise.
Surfshark is easy to use and offers plenty of security features that make it a solid option for folks looking to protect themselves online. Surfshark also allows you to use your subscription on an unlimited number of devices, which is convenient for large families. The cost is competitive as well, which is why it earned a CNET's Editors' Choice Award for best value VPN.

Three major offerings are happening now. For the lowest month-over-month cost, you can sign up for the Surfshark Starter plan. It knocks 87% off the price and offers three free months on a two-year subscription, giving you a total of 27 months for only $2 a month, billed at $54 up-front.
If you're looking for more comprehensive protection, you may want to opt for the Surfshark One plan. It's 86% off right now and comes with the same three extra months of service, bringing you a total of 27 months at just over $2 a month, billed at $67 up-front. It also comes with antivirus protection, alerts you of data breaches and gives you access to a private search engine.
If you want to nab the subscription with the most features, Surfshark One Plus may be the right plan for you. Like the others, it's available at a steep discount of 81% off and gives you that same three months of free service on a two-year plan, meaning you'll get a total of 27 months for only $4 a month, billed at $108 upfront. You'll get all the features listed above, plus access to Surfshark's sister Incogni service, which will help remove your data from both company databases and people-search sites. That should make you less vulnerable to someone acquiring your information, at least for a while.
