VPNs!
As promised, below are 2 of the VPNs that we discussed last week. Do your research and make sure you pick a VPN that suits your needs and price range!📣
First... here's a fun fact:

For the links below BadWolf has an agreement with Surfshark, and therefore has permission to use their marketing materials. The NORDvpn entry is smaller because we don't have an agreement in place, so can share only public links. ⤵️
