Take an extra 20% off these well-reviewed VPNs for the next 48 hours

As essential as they are on the web, virtual private networks (VPNs) can end up being pretty costly when you look at what you pay over time. Most providers’ plans cost anywhere from $2 to $12 per month, which doesn’t sound too bad. But when you realize you’re in it for the long haul, it ends up being just another monthly expense in a long list of subscription fees.

Now until May 24th, however, you can save big on the following VPNs. Use the code VPN20 at checkout and slash an extra 20% off the already discounted prices. You’ll end up paying as little as $40 for a lifetime subscription.
