When you hear the term ‘virtual private network’, or VPN, your eyes might glaze over as you suddenly hit your limit for nerdiness tolerance. Despite all the great reasons to use a VPN — anonymous and more secure browsing, avoiding geo-restrictions, so on — it can seem like something reserved for those with a deep technical understanding of computers. Windscribe is an example of a VPN made to be simple — operating as both a simple browser extension and desktop app, it’s easy to set up and use, and right now you can get it for just $39.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.
This is as easy as it gets to unblock websites, remove ads and trackers, and generally browse the internet securely. You’ll don’t have to putz around with confusing settings and options menus, just turn it on at your desktop like any other app you’re used to using, and it will run in the background for as long as you want. Now you can mask your physical location via an encrypted tunnel, torrent securely and share files without your ISP snooping on you, all with protection from a top-notch firewall, even if you have no idea what any of those terms mean.
Buy now: Get Windscribe VPN for $39.99, a whopping 91 percent off the usual price.
