Did Santa stuff your stocking full of glorious new technological marvels this year? If so, once you've got over the excitement of unboxing it's worth considering what you can do to protect your tech.

In our opinion, your first port of call should be to check out one of the best VPN services. Not only will they keep you and your family safe and anonymous online, but they can also help you avoid any censorship you may face in your country or workplace. And, if you fancy, you'll be able to tap into worldwide streaming services like BBC iPlayer, Australia's 9Now and 10Play, and all the geo-blocked content on Netflix.

What's more, we're seeing a ton of incredible VPN deals this year, so if you're all spent out, there's no need to worry – you can bag a quality VPN for little more than $1 a month.

All that's left to say is that we wish you a happy holidays, and an ultra-secure, AES-256 encrypted New Year!
