VPN Deal of the Week: A long term partner for your torrenting needs, with no nasty auto-renew surprises
In a dark moment for bargains, PIA is the shining light
The best time for VPN deals is not September, as Black Friday approaches and major discounts typically arrive from late October. However, there are still a few worthwhile options available, such as Private Internet Access (PIA). PIA's average monthly cost is $2.18, making it an affordable choice. In this particular deal, PIA offers its services for $1.79 per month, which is the lowest per-month price currently.
This discounted rate is possible due to a longer subscription period of 39 months, as opposed to the usual 2-year term. The total cost for this extended plan is $69.81, paid upfront. While this might seem pricey, considering PIA is a TechRadar recommended VPN and the additional year's service is reasonably priced at around $12, it remains a good deal.
Additionally, the auto-renew price remains consistent with the initial rate, eliminating any unexpected charges even after 3.5 years. PIA is known for offering extensive customization options, making it an excellent choice for torrenting, streaming services, and unlimited simultaneous connections. They also provide a 30-day money-back guarantee, ensuring customer satisfaction.
One notable aspect is the absence of any nasty auto-renew fees, a common issue with many other subscription services. PIA's focus on torrenting users is particularly noteworthy, as they offer robust safety features and maximum configurability for optimized download and upload speeds. Currently, the only other noteworthy VPN deal is Windscribe's Back to School offer, which is still active despite the intended September 14 deadline.
If you prefer a different product and can wait for another four weeks, more options may become available.
