Does the internet feel more like something you’re looking at and not participating in? You can stream content, but you can’t keep it. You can find practically every song ever recorded, but where’s your copy? And, while you can use a fake name, that doesn’t change the data profile third parties can construct from your browsing history.

It’s annoying running into obstacles online, but you can get past them with Offcloud. Rated 4.5 out of 5 on Trustpilot, you can unlock internet restrictions with a lifetime subscription to Offcloud, on sale for $39.99 (regularly $699).

Use the internet how you want to use it

Have you ever tried searching for one of your favorite old YouTube videos only to find the creator took it down? With Offcloud, you can back up any video from YouTube, but that’s just the start.

Download from BitTorrent, streaming sites or connect to an RSS feed, and Offcloud will automatically export and save new content as it’s published. You can even download MP3s straight from SoundCloud. Verified buyer Lee B. wrote, “I love being able to save content for later and Offcloud makes it super easy. I can create my own library to share with others.”

All those file downloads are bound to take up quite a bit of space, so Offcloud also includes 50GB of cloud storage with unlimited remote uploads. Alternatively, if you don’t want to save your files on Offcloud, you can sync your account with Google Drive, Dropbox, Amazon Cloud, Microsoft OneDrive and Mega.nz.

Offcloud also lets you convert web content into PDFs, so you can download whole web pages to read later! Offcloud even integrates with Zapier and IFTTT to automate your backups.

Finally, while Offcloud isn’t a virtual private network, it works a little bit like one. Though you can’t access worldwide servers to hide your location while you browse, you can use 1TB of proxy bandwidth to much the same effect.

Save on an Offcloud lifetime subscription

You might be used to opening the internet and finding walls, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Offcloud lets you download more content from locked sites and can even do it automatically. For a limited time, get an Offcloud lifetime subscription on sale for $39.99 (regularly $699).

Prices subject to change.
