Macworld TL;DR: Through April 12, it’s only $35 to get a 5-year AdGuard VPN subscription. Internet privacy is easy to ignore until every app, website, and public Wi-Fi network starts collecting more than it should. AdGuard VPN is a practical way to lock down your connection without signing up for another monthly bill. This deal gives new users five years privacy for a one-time flat fee, and it’s on sale. Right now, you can get AdGuard for five years for $34.97 (reg. $359.40). Five years of privacy AdGuard VPN encrypts your traffic, hides your browsing activity, and routes your connection through more than 70 server locations worldwide. That matters when you want more privacy at home, on hotel Wi-Fi, or while using a phone on the go. Unlimited data also means you don’t have to ration streaming, downloading, or day-to-day browsing. Up to 10 devices can stay connected under one license, so one plan can cover your laptop, phone, tablet, and more. AdGuard also keeps the setup simple. The service works across Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and Chrome, so you don’t have to force every device into the same ecosystem. Updates are included during the full five-year term, and the company states that it keeps a no-logs policy, so your traffic isn’t being stored for later. Right now, it’s only $34.97 to get an AdGuard VPN 5-Year Subscription. Offer ends April 12 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
