If you're traveling over spring break, a VPN is a useful tool to help secure your data on unencrypted public Wi-Fi and to retain access to your favorite shows from home.
However, some of the best VPNs have super-complicated pricing structures. Whether it's tiered pricing plans, the addition of tax, or auto-renewal price increases, few VPNs offer a true, one-price-fits-all approach. That is, except for Mullvad VPN.
With Mullvad, it's €5 whether you're signing up for a month, a year, or a decade. This stays true regardless of region. So, in the US, it costs $5.78, while the UK pays £4.32, and so on.
What's more, you can choose how long you want to be covered for. If you want to pay for one month's protection over spring break, you can. Alternatively, you can pay for longer in one larger sum.
If you're new to VPNs, this is great option. It removes any confusion around how much you're paying, or how much you might pay in the future.
Plus, its a very capable VPN service. It explains every feature included in detail with tips too, so you can learn everything you need to as you use it.
Mullvad: €5 per month, no matter how long you sign up for
Mullvad is a superb VPN if you want to get rid of confusing pricing, plan lengths, and features. You pay one price, every month, for everything Mullvad offers, which includes:

Mullvad's pricing model is unique, especially considering it hasn't changed since 2009!
But it does come with some drawbacks. For starters, it only offers a 14-day money-back guarantee.
This is over two weeks shorter than most VPNs, giving you less time to decide if you're happy with Mullvad's performance. What's more, while its price doesn't change, it's more expensive than most VPNs.
It also only offers 5 devices registered to an account at once and you can't use a sixth device until one is removed.
Finally, its features are quite limited. It's got loads of customization capabilities for its core VPN functions, and it's equipped to handle almost any online scenario. But, you won't see features like a password manager, antivirus, or secure storage included in the package.
If you want more features, consider NordVPN or Surfshark. Both offer extra tools such as antivirus, data breach alerts, and email alias generators. However, you will have to navigate long term plan, post-renewal price increases, and some additional costs to the advertised price.
