DirecTV upped prices last year, Netflix upped prices in January 2019, and Apple is releasing its own (probably expensive) streaming service. The last thing you need is for your internet provider to slow your internet and start charging for high viewing speeds.
The Net Neutrality aftermath hasn't hit hard yet, but it could happen at any time. Unless you think ahead about your cybersecurity with a VPN, that is: PureVPN is as low as $3.33/month, and with this BOGO deal, subscribed members can send a monthly subscription to a friend for free.
A few things matter when choosing the VPN for you: Speed, coverage area, a "no log" policy, and for newbies, just being easy to use.
For how much you're (not) paying, PureVPN hits a decent number of those marks. Named one of the best cheap VPNs by our team, it's one of the most accessible with apps for Mac OS, Windows, Android, and iOS devices. Regardless of your device, PureVPN can shot-put your geolocation to over 750 servers in 140 countries (including China). Blocked movie sites in your country are almost always passable with this ability to switch regions, and when it's actually behaving, PureVPN's speed will eliminate buffering.
Of course, your IP address stays anonymous — but if you're really paranoid, PureVPN can connect you through the internet through its servers and not your ISP's. There's even a feature to create a WiFi VPN hotspot. There's word that PureVPN does keep connection logs, but there's no way to connect them to your identity.
Prices are as follows:
One month for $10.95
Three months for $8/month
One year for $3.33/month
