ScienceAlert offer: Get lifetime VPN protection for just US$29.99. Protect yourself.

If online privacy is something you've been worried about in 2016 (and it probably should be), then a VPN is probably something you want to invest in before the new year.

VPN stands for virtual private network, and they work by keeping your online activity private and protected, whether you're browsing, emailing, or just trying to watch a YouTube clip that's not available in your country.

In the lead up to Christmas, we've partnered with StackCommerce to offer ScienceAlert readers a lifetime subscription to VPN Unlimited for just US$29.99.

VPN Unlimited has been rated PC Mag's top VPN for 2016, and won the VPN Service Providers Best VPN Service Award for 2015, so you know you're protected.

The license works on up to five devices, including iPhones, Androids, Macs and PCs.
