The annual cost of cybercrime is expected to reach $6 trillion by 2021, and we're all at risk of being attacked in some way. But, here’s the thing: You don’t have to live with the threat of getting hacked. It is possible to protect yourself by browsing with a VPN. HideMyAss! VPN is one of the best on the market, and subscriptions are on sale for over 70% off today.

A VPN is probably the easiest way to protect your devices from hackers. When you transmit data via the web, a VPN encrypts it so that it can’t be deciphered and compromised. The problem with some VPN’s though — especially those of the economical variety — is that they throttle your connection speeds so your internet slows to a crawl, which is not an ideal compromise.

HideMyAss! VPN is different. Like other VPNs, the service safeguards your devices — up to five at once — on all kinds of networks. Where it differs, however, is that it won’t slow your internet connection in the process. You’ll still be able to do all the things you do now, like stream video content, without restriction.

Additionally, you’ll enjoy access to their huge network of servers placed in over 190 countries all over the world. That means you can essentially trick the web into thinking you are in any of those locales, allowing you to view content from those places. Have a US-based Netflix account and want to see what they’ve got going on in Europe? Then just choose a server based in a European country, open Netflix, and you're golden.

When you consider the ever-present danger of cybercrime, it makes sense to protect yourself with a VPN. But not all of them are the same. If you want protection without compromise, then you should definitely choose HideMyAss! VPN. And, since a two-year subscription has been temporarily discounted by 72 percent to just $79.99, now’s the perfect time to get it.
