All too often, we hear news of website data breaches, which can result in the exposure of user records. If you've ever had to change a password due to suspicious activity on your account, you may have been a victim, too. These types of incidents have led many to try and make their internet browsing more secure with the help of a VPN (virtual private network). While it won't safeguard you from every attack on the web—we still recommend following safe internet practices, regardless of what services you're using—a VPN will offer you a fair amount of protection, and right now, you can save on an annual plan from the best one we've ever tried.

Although a great VPNs doesn't usually come cheap, online security is not the place you want to skimp. Luckily, you won't have to, since customers can sign up for a 12-month subscription of our favorite option, ExpressVPN, for $99.95 right now, which works out to just $8.32 per month. That's a 36% discount off of what you'd pay for a year of the service when choosing to be billed monthly at its normal $12.95. While it may not seem like a lot, that adds up to an extra $55.45 per year that you'll be putting back into your pocket. 

Confused about how it works? Allow us to explain: A VPN encrypts your internet activity to everyone other than your own device and the website that you're visiting. That means your internet service provider (ISP), government firewalls and man-in-the-middle hackers can't scrape your personal data or prevent you from entering sites you want to enter. VPNs won't protect you from every online danger, but they're highly effective at what they do—especially if you routinely connect to free public Wi-Fi.

In our testing of the best VPN services, ExpressVPN ranked supreme due to its flawless operation (the service rarely hiccuped over the course of three weeks), 24/7 customer service and large server network. The app easily downloaded onto any device we tried it out on, even when working with older equipment. We found it especially useful to unlock and stream content on Netflix from countries outside the U.S., allowing us to choose from a much larger selection of TV shows and movies that wouldn't normally be available. Although it didn't have the fastest connection speed among its competitors, we found it to be the most consistent, never dropping in torrent speed. 

ExpressVPN also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can get a full refund should you encounter an issue during use. Whether you want to protect your data,  access blocked content from other regions or simply improve online privacy, anonymity and safety, we highly recommend giving it a shot.
