From browsing to banking, almost every part of our lives is online. Sometimes, we have to share personal data and information, which can put anyone on the edge of their seat. If you want to get some protection online, investing in a virtual private network might be a good idea. A VPN is a great way to guard your privacy and data whenever you're online. It helps encrypt your connection to the internet, which protects your data so you can safely browse the internet. It also opens up a wider variety of globalized streaming entertainment options

This Cyber Monday, one of our favorite VPN servicesSurfshark, is offering a huge discount on all plans, cutting prices by up to 87%. If that wasn't enough, they're also throwing in four extra months of protection completely free. Even better, you could get six extra months free if you upgrade to the Surfshark One Plus plan for $4 a month (that's 81% off the regular price). 

Surfshark is easy to use and offers plenty of security features that make it a solid option for folks looking to protect themselves online. Surfshark also allows you to use your subscription on an unlimited number of devices, which is convenient for large families. The cost is competitive as well, which is why it earned a CNET's Editors' Choice Award for Best Value VPN.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.  

Three major offerings are happening now. For the lowest month-over-month cost, you can sign up for the Surfshark Starter plan. It knocks 87% off the price and offers four free months on a two-year subscription, providing you with a total of 28 months for only $2 a month, billed at $56 upfront. 

If you're looking for more comprehensive protection, you may want to opt for the Surfshark One plan. It's 86% off right now and comes with the same four extra months of service, bringing you a total of 28 months at just over $2 a month, billed at $70 upfront. It also comes with antivirus protection, alerts you of data breaches and gives you access to a private search engine.

If you want to nab the subscription with the most features, Surfshark One Plus may be the right plan for you. Like the others, it's available at a steep discount of 81% off and gives you six months of free service on a two-year plan, meaning you'll get a total of 30 months for only $4 a month, billed at $120 upfront. You'll get all the features listed above, plus access to Surfshark's sister Incogni service, which will help remove your data from both company databases and people-search sites. That should make you less vulnerable to someone acquiring your information, at least for a while.
