Online security might seem like a hassle, but staying protected doesn't have to slow you down. FastestVPN is a reliable cybersecurity tool with more than 900 servers spread across 100 countries, and you don't have to pay for it every month. Instead, you can get a FastestVPN Pro lifetime subscription for 15 devices for $32.97, but that price won't last much longer.
Whether you're streaming your favorite shows, handling sensitive work, or just scrolling on public Wi-Fi, this VPN has your back with military-grade encryption and a WireGuard protocol that locks your data down.
FastestVPN goes beyond just keeping your connection private. It blocks ads, fights malware, and even protects against unsolicited traffic with its NAT firewall. Worried about your IP address getting exposed if the connection drops? A kill switch has that covered. Plus, it works on just about everything: your computer, phone, Smart TV, and even your router.
As a bonus, the Pro Plan includes a free year of password management to keep all your logins secure and organized. It's security, speed, and simplicity all

If you're gifting for a tech fan, something from Apple, Google, Samsung or another big brand is always at the top of the list.

These are some of our favorites, but remember: you can often find alternatives that are just as good (and sometimes better) than these.

These services offer many of the same channels you had with cable or satellite TV, but deliver them over the internet to your smart TV or streaming device. They include cloud-based DVRs so you can record your favorite shows—and skip through the commercials—in many cases, they're the only way to watch specific pay TV channels.
