Download mySteganos Online Shield VPN then request your serial number

VPNs (virtual private networks) work by re-routing internet traffic via a remote server, hiding your real IP address and location. The connection is encrypted to prevent your data being intercepted. This has two main benefits: protecting your privacy and helping circumvent censorship.

mySteganos Online Shield VPN is incredibly easy to use – just download and install the client software, enter your free serial number and adjust the simple set of sliders to choose your level of protection.

In addition to an excellent VPN, mySteganos Online Shield also includes an ad-blocker, protection from tracking by social networks, and automatic cookie detection. It also displays devices on your network that might pose a threat to your security.

This special edition of mySteganos Online Shield will protect up to three devices for a whole year, so grab it today and stay protected until next December without paying a penny.
