It only takes $20 and 5 minutes to protect yourself from online hackers

TL;DR: Stay safe while surfing the web with a 2-year subscription to Goose VPN for $19.99, an 89% savings as of Aug. 5.


These days, anything you do on the internet can open the floodgates to scammers and hackers. Sometimes, it's not even your fault. That's why it's so important to keep your data protected behind lock and key. In internet terms, that means encryption, or turning your activity and data into jibber-jabber that not even the most talented hackers can decipher. The best way to do that is through a virtual private network, better known as a VPN. 

VPNs redirect your internet traffic to a private server rather than your internet service provider. Not only does it keep you anonymous in the eyes of the internet, but it also makes it trickier for nosey jerks to access whatever sensitive internet data you may be sharing online, like credit cards or bank info. If you're ready to sign up, you'll be happy to know that it won't take much. Goose VPN is offering subscriptions on sale for only $19.99. And it will only take a few minutes to start doing its thing. 

Your Goose subscription can also be used on an unlimited number of devices at the same time. You can protect your phone and laptop, as well as your parents' or partner's devices because you're a great person.

Another great VPN party trick is that you can use different IP addresses from anywhere in the world. Some countries have restrictions on what websites they have available, but a VPN makes it all possible. No more obstacles to streaming that controversial movie or chatting with your friends on Facebook.
