One of the best VPN deals right now also happens to be perfect if you’re keen to use Netflix and Disney+ on your travels. Currently, you can sign up for a standard NordVPN subscription for just $96 for the first two years saving you a huge $103 off the regular price of $199. Working out at just $4 per month, it’s likely cheaper than your regular coffee order. Here’s what you need to know about NordVPN before you sign up.

Why you should sign up for NordVPN

NordVPN is one of the best VPNs around and one of its key highlights is the fact that it enables you to watch shows even when you’re traveling abroad and geo-restrictions would ordinarily restrict you from watching your favorites. Each country offers different content with Disney+ and Netflix varying depending on where you’re traveling. That’s not always convenient if you’re midway through a season rewatch of something before heading on vacation. To circumvent this, simply connect to the streaming service via NordVPN and you can act like you’re still back home.

It’s simple to use as all you need to do is pick a US-based server and NordVPN does the rest. Alongside that, its VPN provides you with enhanced security so that you’re safer online with your browsing activity hidden from anyone snooping. There’s also malware protection as well as a tracker and ad blocker to further protect you while you browse. NordVPN also offers extra features such as split tunneling where you can choose which apps of yours need VPN protection and which trusted apps don’t so you’re in full control at all times. There’s also a Kill Switch feature that kicks in any time your VPN connection drops unexpectedly so you’re always fully protected without any surprises.

Packed with functionality, NordVPN is incredibly simple to use so anyone can figure it out. With thousands of servers, you can easily return home with it. While there isn’t a NordVPN free trial, being able to sign up to two years worth for just $96 is incredibly cheap with the price working out at just $4 per month. That’s a tiny amount for peace of mind and the ability to use Netflix and Disney+ on all your travels. Sign up for it today so you’re all good to go for future journeys or any time you’re using public Wi-Fi and want extra security.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
