Over the years, I’ve had quite a few moments when I have been grateful that I have access to a good VPN which works wherever I travel and as I’ve discussed on here before, not all those reasons center around the security and peace of mind that a good VPN service can give you (see here and here).
Right now, ExpressVPN (the service that I use) is offering new customers up to four months free when they take out a new subscription and if you use the referral link that I’ve included in this article, that should give you one more free month giving you up to five free months of service.
What is a VPN (per ExpressVPN)?
A VPN, or virtual private network, is a secure tunnel between your device and the internet. VPNs protect you from snooping, interference, and censorship.
As you connect to a secure VPN server, your internet traffic goes through an encrypted tunnel that nobody can see into—including hackers, governments, and your internet service provider.
If you want to know more, follow these links:
- Why you need a VPN
- Who benefits the most from using a VPN?
- How does a VPN work?
- Apps for all devices
There are a wide variety of VPN providers out there and I’m not in a position to tell you which is best. That’s for you to decide.
All I can tell you is that I’ve tried out a few different providers and the only service that hasn’t let me down so far is the one from ExpressVPN.
Note: You can use a VPN service on a smartphone or tablet as well as on a laptop/desktop

Final thought
All the plans that ExpressVPN offers come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so as long as you remember to cancel the service in a timely manner (if you decide that it isn’t for you), there’s doesn’t appear to be any risk to trying out this service – that’s not a bad deal if you want to see how well a VPN service would work for you.
Bottom line
ExpressVPN is currently offering new subscribers the chance to get 15 months for the price of 12 or 28 months for the price of 24 with all plans offering a 30-day money back guarantee. If, however, you use our referral link, you’ll get an extra free month added on to whichever of those two deals you choose bringing down the cost even more.
