Get 66 percent off a two-year subscription to ProtonVPN

ProtonVPN subscriptions are available at a steep discount right now as part of an exclusive sale for Engadget readers. A 12-month subscription is down to $48, which is a discount of around $72 and works out to $4 per month. A 24-month plan now costs just $81. This represents a massive discount of $158 and works out to $3.39 per month.

Proton topped our list of the best VPN services, and with good reason. It’s incredibly powerful and easy to use, which is a boon for those new to the space. The end-to-end encryption is solid and everything’s based on an open-source framework. This lets the company offer an official vulnerability disclosure program.

A subscription includes an IP-masker, so websites can’t track you online, and a built-in ad blocker. We found in our tests that browsing the web and watching streaming content were both speedy while using this VPN, which isn’t always the case with this type of service.

The only caveat? The company will automatically bill you at the normal price when the discounted subscription runs out. Be sure to cancel before that if you aren’t vibing with the platform.
