Surfshark
There are plenty of cheap VPNs out there, even a couple of free ones (be careful with those). The main takeaway is that using one will inevitably slow your browsing, streaming and gaming. But by how much? Will you actually notice a difference, and is it worth paying for?
Here’s an option for CNET readers: To celebrate our inaugural Deal Days sales event, you can get a two-year Surfshark VPN subscription for $59.76 with promo code CNETDEALSDAY. But that’s not all: Using our code will also net you an additional three months for free, making it effectively $2.21 a month for 27 months. This offer is good only through Wednesday, Oct. 19.
To quote the CNET review: “Surfshark imposes no data caps, and allows unlimited server switching and torrenting. I also had no problems using it to access Netflix. In a rare move for a VPN, it offers unlimited simultaneous connections. This functionality is wrapped up in an intuitive, easy-to-use interface that’s recently undergone a slick revamp.”
