The holiday shopping season is here, and if you're doing most of your gift buying online, it's important to keep your information secure. Using a VPN, or virtual private network, is a great way to give yourself extra security while browsing the internet. VPNs prevent your internet service provider from tracking the websites or apps you're using and prevent websites and apps from seeing your geographical location, making them great for unblocking geo-protected sites or content. We strongly recommend using a good VPN for everyday use and work, particularly if your work involves handling sensitive information. Our favorite VPN service, ExpressVPN, has a major Cyber Monday sale where you can get up to six months of VPN service for free. ExpressVPN's secure Wi-Fi routers are also on sale through ExpressVPN or Amazon for an added layer of protection.

From now until Dec. 6, you can get up to six months free at ExpressVPN when you sign up for a new subscription. A yearlong subscription is down to $100 right now, plus you'll get four extra months of VPN service for free, making each month only $6.25. When you purchase a two-year subscription, you'll score six extra months for free. The cost is currently just $149.70, or $5 per month. 

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

If you want even more protection while you browse the web or work from home, Express VPN's Wi-Fi routers are also on sale for 30% off. ExpressVPN's Wi-Fi router (Aircove) and travel router (Aircove Go) both offer built-in VPN protection (though you will need an active ExpressVPN subscription). The Aircove is currently on sale for $133, and supports high-speed Wi-Fi 6 connectivity at home. When you're traveling for the holidays or taking a work trip, the portable Aircove Go can keep your internet connection secure from wherever you are. It's currently on sale for $119.

Why this deal matters
