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.
