Get a 3-year subscription to Windscribe VPN for just $48 (Tue, 10 Dec 2019)
Online shopping is going to be through the roof this month, and you'd better believe that hackers know it. If you're going to invest in a virtual private network, now is the time. Especially when Windscribe VPN is offering its own holiday discount. At their current price point, it's well worth jumping on the paid version of this highly-rated VPN. It gives you unlimited downloads and data, all protected by one of the most secure networks around. How secure? Windscribe has all the usual safeguards you'd expect from a typical VPN: A firewall protects you if your connection drops out, while solid encryption of your logins masks your location and allows you to access sites regardless of geographical restrictions. You can use it on a range of devices, and Windscribe's R.O.B.E.R.T. system provides extra defense against malware and unwanted ads. But what really sets it apart is the Canadian company's commitment to anonymity. Their no-logging policy keeps your data a mystery even to Windscribe itself. And you don't even need an email to sign in. The service has already had a price drop of more than 80% off the MSRP of their 3-year subscription plan, but you can take another 20% off that final price by using the discount code GREENMONDAY20.

Kindle Unlimited is a fun and cheap way to read comics (Mon, 09 Dec 2019)
The Kindle Unlimited program is $10 a month, and it gives you access to over a million books and comics on Amazon. Amazon is currently offering a deal: 3 months for 99 cents a month. I especially like that you can read tons of comic books and graphic novels this way. I'm currently reading Grant Morrison's The Invisibles on my iPhone. It works really well using the one-panel-at-a-time mode. I prefer reading comics this way over reading the print version. Read the rest
