VPN Deal of the Week: Bag PrivadoVPN for $1.11 per month and unlock a bumper weekend of streaming

This week, my highlighted deal is short and very sweet. PrivadoVPN is an absolute bargain right now, and I haven't found a cheaper VPN that I'm comfortable recommending to my readers.

Here are the numbers: PrivadoVPN costs $30 upfront for a 27-month subscription, which works out at $1.11 per month. If you prefer something cheaper upfront, one year costs $20, working out at $1.33 per month. There's no complaining with that.

Of course, there's no point in buying even the best VPN if you don't need one. But this weekend, there's a ton of events that are geoblocked in certain regions. I'll list my top picks below, and with a VPN, you can watch them all.

In my testing, PrivadoVPN proved both secure and very reliable for unblocking streaming sites. It's not as advanced or as polished as the likes of NordVPN and ExpressVPN – but it's also a fraction of the price, and one of the best cheap VPNs I've tested. More info on this deal below.

What's streaming this weekend?

Whatever you're into, this weekend is bound to have something you'll want to feast your eyes on. From athletic events to one of the fiercest derbies in world soccer, sports fans are well covered.

However, if you prefer binge-watching boxsets, remember that many shows are geo-blocked on Netflix, and streaming apps like BBC iPlayer, RaiPlay, Servus and tons more can only be accessed from a single country. With a VPN, you can access it all.

Below, I've rounded up my top five events this weekend:

• Watch the Six Nations: England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, France, and Italy battle it out in one of the grittiest events in the Rugby world. France is currently well ahead after three straight victories, but a tough Friday fixture against second-place Scotland could turn the tables.
• Watch Festival di Sanremo: Italy's week-long musical competition draws to a crescendo on Saturday, with the winner not only basking in glory, but also earning the honor of representing Italy at Eurovision.
• Watch the Tokyo Marathon: Japan's most prestigious long-distance run winds its way through the past, present, and future of Tokyo, beginning in bustling Shinjuki and ending at the iconic Wadakura Gate. Marvel at the wiry competitors pushing their bodies to the limit while you luxuriate indoors with snacks.
• Watch Rangers vs. Celtic "Old Firm" derby: Few soccer matches are as hard-fought as the Old Firm derby. First meeting in 1890, Rangers vs. Celtic frequently sees controversy on and off the pitch – and if you've never watched Scottish soccer before, there's no better place to start.
• Watch T20 World Cup cricket: T20 is the most accessible form of cricket, and is designed to deliver shorter, more exciting games. We're now at the round of eight in the World Cup – and the storyline so far has followed the unlikely success story of Zimbabwe, who are yet to lose a match. Will they prevail?

Is PrivadoVPN any good?

PrivadoVPN is a great choice if you're looking for a simple and effective VPN that's easy to use, unblocks streaming sites, and offers good privacy credentials. In my testing it's also delivered rapid speeds, and the apps on all devices are very stable.

Predictably, if you're looking for a high-end VPN, PrivadoVPN isn't for you. More expensive VPNs like NordVPN, Proton VPN and ExpressVPN have a higher level of visual sheen, and come bundled with more additional privacy and security features like personal data removal, malware detection, and even credit scanners.

However, I know a lot of people don't want all of that, and just want a good-value VPN that works. If that's you, PrivadoVPN is the best choice.
