We live away from our home country of Canada for up to 6 months every winter, and in so doing, we travel many different countries and come across many different internet scenarios: fast, slow, safe and sketchy!  We've been really happy using a great VPN called Surfshark since 2020 and can really recommend it.  This VPN offers another layer of safety built in when doing online tasks and seeking online entertainment.  Here is a link if you want to try it too.  If you sign up as a brand new subscriber to Surfshark using our link, we will both get some free months.  Why not give it a try?    https://surfshark.club/friend/CGyjKkbB
