You've got until the September 25 to grab the offer before it goes!

VPN deals: what you can do with a VPN

You will probably be happy to know that, despite the tiny price, Surfshark is a versatile piece of tech that lends itself to many different VPN uses.

We already mentioned it as a way to secure your online privacy and browsing anonymity. This is because Surfshark spoofs your real location while encrypting all your data in transit.

A VPN can also grant you the access to blocked websites and apps that your school network puts in place, for example. Similarly, it can provide you a more secure online banking and shopping experience (especially on public Wi-Fi). It can even be of help for getting around broadband bandwidth throttling.

As VPNs can mask your real IP address location, they are also growing in popularity among keen streamers looking to bypass geo-restrictions that platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime apply to their content. Surfshark has a strong reputation as a reliable streaming VPN, offering a huge array of speedy international servers to choose from.
