The holiday season appears ideal for acquiring a VPN service. ExpressVPN, selected by Engadget as the top premium option, is now available at a reduced rate. The promotion provides two years of the Advanced package, including four extra months, at just $101. Normally, this plan costs $392.

Engadget's VPN specialist, Sam Chapman, commended ExpressVPN for its strong performance and minimal shortcomings. It earned top scores for connection speeds, user-friendly design, and extensive worldwide server access. The primary drawback has been its elevated regular cost, though this deal addresses that issue for now.

Secure two years plus four additional months for $101.

ExpressVPN has introduced a tiered subscription model recently. The Advanced option serves as the intermediate level. A more affordable Basic version supports up to 10 devices at once, without features such as a password manager. The premium Pro tier accommodates 14 devices and includes various add-ons. Details on the packages are available on the ExpressVPN site.

For two-year commitments, the Basic plan costs $2.79 monthly after a 78 percent reduction. The Advanced comes in at $3.59 monthly, a 74 percent savings. The Pro is priced at $5.99 monthly, reflecting a 70 percent discount. Each option adds four free months, totaling 28 months of access.
