After Black Friday, this pre-Christmas season we are in is one of the times of the year when we most often buy online. The search for the perfect gift is not easy, but having the Internet It allows us to access many different stores to find even original gifts with which to truly surprise.
Buying online (like any other online activity) can carry certain risks, especially if it involves stores that we don’t know much about or if we do it on a WiFi network about which we don’t have much information, such as that of a hotel. The simplest way to protect ourselves is by using a VPN and we have quality like Surfshark for very little: only 1.99 euros per month.

A VPN is one of the best tools there is to protect ourselves on the Internet
As we usually tell you, a VPN is a very useful tool that never hurts to have installed on our devices (be it a PC, mobile phone or tablet, among others). Maybe at this moment you are wondering if it is worth paying for one if there are free ones and the truth is that yes. Although there are free options, these are not recommended in the long run because They are not as safe as they say they are..
Now, is it worth using it when shopping online? When using a VPN, what we do is pass all our Internet traffic through a secure and encrypted tunnel, so that no one can see what we are doing. Thus, we will protect our transactions and purchases by keeping things like, for example, our credit or debit card safe.
The fact of encrypting our Internet traffic is also ideal when using a public WiFi network or some type of establishment, such as a hotel or a shopping center. Plus, with a VPN too we will keep our IP address safewhich can fall into the wrong hands and be used, among many other things, to impersonate our identity.
Now let’s talk about Surfshark, which is with its Winter Sale active. Thanks to them, as we said above, we can get hold of it for 1.99 euros per month if we opt for its two-year modality. With it, in addition, we will take three extra months (same as with the rest of the plans). In this way, to sum it up, we would have 27 months of VPN for a total of 47.46 euros.
If we are looking for a tool that offers more and we have a larger budget, then we can opt for the plan Surfshark One. This one, which has a price of 2.29 euros per month in its two-year modality, it comes with VPN and other additional tools such as antivirus or an alert system that notifies us if our data is leaked on the Internet.

Finally, we have to talk about the most powerful plan that this company has, called Surfshark One+. This one, what does it cost? 4.19 euros per month in its two-year modality, includes everything from the previous plan and an exclusive tool called Incogni, thanks to which we have the possibility of delete personal information from databases. Regardless of the plan we choose, we will have more Internet security at a very good price.
