The online world is a lot like the real one — full of positivity and peril alike, as many wonders as weirdos. That’s why signing on via a virtual private network (VPN) is a must: a secured, encrypted portal to the web that maintains anonymity, protects data sent and received, and sidesteps location restrictions on streaming content. That might sound like protection that will cost you, but nowhere near what you think and certainly much less than it’s worth. Right now you can get a lifetime of VPN protection for just $69 at Cult of Mac Deals.

And right now you can get a HomeSpot Bluetooth Speaker for just $29.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

When you spend time every day online, you’re adding to the risk of having your data stolen. That’s ignoring minor headaches like location restrictions, preventing you from getting your favorite streaming content when traveling.

That might sound technical or expensive, but it doesn’t have to be either — right now you can get Shimo, one of the most secure and versatile VPN clients available, for just $19 at Cult of Mac Deals.

Let’s face it — smart watches are sleek and feature rich, but they also seem to miss the point of what a ‘watch’ is supposed to do. Watches used to be timepieces, something you look to for an instant check on where you’re at in the day.

It’s a classic take on the new trend in watches, and right now you can get one for $29.00 at Cult of Mac Deals, a quarter of the usual price.

If you beat the average price you get the whole bundle of 13 apps, and if you beat the leader’s price you’ll be entered into an additional giveaway.

If you work at the computer, you probably work a lot with PDFs. They’re a convenient and visually rich format, but they can be less than friendly if you’re trying to do much more than just view them. That’s where PDFpen Pro steps in. Called the “crème de la crème of PDF editing and annotating applications” by Macworld, it’s a powerful tool for editing, merging, marking up, and converting PDF documents. And right now you can get a copy for $62 at Cult of Mac Deals.

When it comes to storing important data, our iPhones have become just as critical as our computers. It’s easy enough to plug your phone into your desktop or laptop, but sometimes that isn’t an option.

That’s what the iKlips Dual-Interface Drive does, offering 32 gigs of additional storage and an easy way to move data back and forth. Right now you can get one for just $55 at Cult of Mac Deals.
