FastestVPN is again offering a Lifetime VPN Service Subscription(15 Multi Logins) with Password Manager for $22.90 (30 – 7.1 coupon) for a limited time. To get the discount, use the coupon code: BFCM24 at checkout.

FastestVPN subscription offers:

  • Unlimited access/switching to all their servers
  • WireGuard protocol with 10 Gbps fastest servers
  • Double VPN servers
  • Internet Kill
  • Switch P2P Optimized Servers
  • Free Malware Protection
  • Free NAT Firewall
  • Free Adblocker
  • 256-bit AES Encryption
  • 15 Multi Logins
  • 24/7 support via Live Chat

This special comes with a Free password manager. I bought a lifetime membership years ago when they offered it for slight less and have been relatively impressed with the value it offers. Very easy to use and mostly works but it’s not the fastest nor is it the most advance but for the price, it’s a great value. They claim that they don’t keep any logs though I don’t think there have been any peer audits that prove that. You can use it on multiple devices and it comes in handy when you are using public wifi or trying to avoid being tracked.
