TL;DR: A one-year subscription to NordVPN is on sale for $6.99 per month as of May 6, saving you 41% on list price.


Online freedom is not a guarantee, and there are actually lots of blocks and restrictions placed on everyone's Internet usage. They might not be obvious, but they're there.

The only way to enjoy the net without limitations is to use a VPN, because these services can change your IP address to provide secure access to streaming sites, social media, and messaging platforms without censorship. That's true freedom.

You have plenty of options when it comes to VPN providers, and NordVPN is one of the most popular. That's because it provides a long list of advanced security features, including fast connection speeds, ad-blocking, malware protection, and browser extensions.

NordVPN offers a range of different plans to suit everyone. The cheapest option is the three-year plan, but this longer contract won't be for everyone. A one-year subscription is on sale for $6.99 per month, saving you 41% on list price. It's not the cheapest plan, but you're not locked in for years.
