You’ve heard the old saying all your life. Strike while the iron is hot. That means when a situation is poised and ready for you to take advantage, don’t sleep on it and let it slip. For those ready to take the plunge on boosting their online profile with some serious VPN protection, the iron is now piping hot. In addition to the regular extreme TNW Deal discount on a one-year subscription to industry-leading VPN provider NordVPN, shoppers can also stack an added 20 percent discount on top of those savings for a limited time. If you know about VPNs, but don’t know about NordVPN, it’s time to get on board.  An industry leader since 2012 and a regular fixture on CNET’s annual rundown of the Best VPNs of the Year, NordVPN boasts one of the largest server networks in the world. As a NordVPN user, members can access the web via NordVPN’s extensive 5,200-plus server network strategically positioned in over 60 nations worldwide. Under their shroud of protected anonymity, NordVPN users get full secure web access whenever and from wherever they log in, including everywhere from your home WiFi router to those notoriously insecure public WiFi spots. And all activity on a NordVPN connection is always double encrypted, offering additional layers of security cloaking an IP address and all other identifying information that could leave a user vulnerable to cyberthieves. Enjoying high speed connections and no data restrictions, NordVPN also helps users get around pesky international geo-fencing rules. Membership also includes privileges like a full range of added features, including everything from a strict no logging policy to a kill switch to automatically shut down any online activity if the VPN connection should suddenly drop and leave sensitive information exposed. Right now, you can learn why NordVPN is one of the most decorated VPN services anywhere, garnering high marks from outlets like TechRadar, PC World, Trustpilot, and even a rare Outstanding rating from PCMag. Regularly priced at $286, a 12-month subscription to NordVPN is first slashed to $59, then shaved by another 20 percent when you use the code NORD20 before Aug. 19. With both of those discounts in place, your one-year price drops to just $47.20, less than $4 per month. Prices are subject to change
