This $9 fix is a great way to watch the Australian GP even if you're on the move — here's what you need to know

The Formula One season is now upon us. But, if you're travelling for spring break, you might find it difficult to follow the race. Luckily, this is where a VPN can help you.

A VPN provides a secure internet connection and access to servers in your home country. This means if you're abroad, you can connect to a server back home to use your streaming services as normal.

Many of the best VPNs advertise their lowest price based on their longest plan but only a handful actually offer a cheap 1-month solution.

Windscribe is a solid example, offering 1-month of VPN protection for only $9.

Of all the streaming VPNs I've tested, Windscribe's 1-month plan is the cheapest. While it's not quite as capable as the likes of NordVPN or Surfshark, it's a solid solution if you need a last-minute way to access your favorite sports while you're on the move.

Windscribe: 1-month plans for only $9

Windscribe is a much-loved VPN. It's got a strong no-logs policy, loads of features, and servers in 115 cities. While it's not the top streaming VPN, a $9 monthly plan is very good value. Plus it gets you access to:

🛑 R.O.B.E.R.T ad, tracker, and malicious link protection
🌍 GPS spoofing
⏩ Port forwarding support
📱 Unlimited simultaneous connections
🌐 Web content blocking

Plus, like all great VPNs, all plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. This means if you're unhhappy with how Windscribe performs, you get your money back.

Windscribe is a well-known player in the VPN space. Most recently, the provider added a Wi-Fi history clearing function to its apps, designed to prevent your movements from being pieced together via stored network logs. It also recently launched a new stealth app to help navigate censorship in regions like Iran and Russia.

Unlike many competitors, Windscribe doesn't offer a multi-year plan. Its one-year plan sits at $5.75 per month ($69 billed annually), which is higher than the entry-level monthly cost of a two-year NordVPN plan.

However, this makes Windscribe's $9 monthly option look quite competitive for short-term use, especially when compared to the other big-name providers.

For those who only need the basics, Windscribe’s "Build-a-Plan" is a unique alternative. You can select specific locations for $1 each (with a $3 monthly minimum), allowing you to create a customized, low-cost solution if you only need access to one or two countries to catch the F1.
