You can now watch your favourite cycling coverage, including the Tour de France, anywhere in the world and claim a free $50/£50 Amazon voucher ahead of Amazon Prime Day.
The Tour is just two weeks away, and begins in Lille on 5 July, finishing on the Champs-Élysées, Paris, on 27 July. If you're heading overseas for work or holidays, maybe even to be by the side of the road, you may find your usual streaming services blocked by geo-restrictions. Meaning you can't catch up on the day's highlights or relax with your favourite sitcom after a long day in the sun. There is a way around this, and that is with a VPN.
VPN stands for Virtual Private Network and is a clever online tool, predominantly used for online safety while travelling, that can protect your privacy for remote work. As a secondary bonus, it also allows you to view your home streaming services safely, and now you can claim a free Amazon voucher when signing up with NordVPN.
Our tech-savvy colleagues at Tom's Guide recommend NordVPN as one of the best VPN services, and they have reviewed every major VPN for privacy, security, speed, streaming and more, so it's safe to say they know what's what when recommending a service.
As I mentioned, there are several benefits to having a VPN on your devices. It offers you protection when using public Wi-Fi networks, making it much harder for people to steal information from your device. It's the same for using private Wi-Fi networks, too, so you can work, stream, and browse anywhere in the world, accessing content from all around the world with vastly improved security.
NordVPN is offering a selection of plans with various discounts, and you get different perks with each plan. NordVPN offers anti-malware protection, an ad blocker, a data breach scanner and cloud storage. If that isn't enough, you can also get insurance included up to $1m in identity theft cover and $100k in cyber extortion. All discounts range from 70% off to 76% off for a two-year subscription.
Of course, the big bonus is the freebie. You'll receive a free Amazon voucher worth up to $50/£50, depending on the plan you choose. With Amazon Prime Day starting on July 8th and running until July 11th, there will be plenty of offers to treat yourself with over the four-day sale.
