The online world can seem like a pretty safe place, but it's actually full of threats. Hackers, malware, and viruses lurk in the depths of the net, and it's up to you to protect yourself.

Fortunately, VPNs can effectively protect your identity and data when you're browsing, streaming, and shopping online. A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel for your internet traffic to pass through, meaning that it's protected from prying eyes.

There are plenty of free VPNs out there that are worth considering, but for advanced security features, you're better off going for a paid plan. ZenMate VPN is a good example of a relatively cheap service that offers a lot of premium features, including fast servers located all around the world, unlimited bandwidth and server switches, and best in class encryption.

A three-year subscription to ZenMate VPN is on sale for £1.44 per month as of Jan. 20, saving you 85% on list price. This plan lets you connect an unlimited number of devices, and it's fully refundable for 30 days.
