SAVE 59%: NordVPN is a privacy-focused service that can unlock top streaming sites like Netflix. A two-year subscription to NordVPN is on sale for £59.76, saving you 59% on list price for a limited time.


It's not easy to practise patience, especially when the thing you're desperately waiting for is the second instalment of the fourth series of Stranger Things. Volume 2 is dropping on July 1, so everyone just needs to remain calm and count down the days.

You should have no issues streaming the final two episodes if you're subscribed to Netflix, unless Netflix is not available in your location. Netflix is widely available, but it’s not available everywhere. To get around this potentially agonising issue, you can use a VPN to connect to a server in a location that does host Netflix.

There are plenty of streaming-friendly VPNs that can reliably unblock Netflix. ExpressVPN is probably the best, but NordVPN is something to seriously consider if you're trying to connect to Netflix from somewhere like Russia or China. NordVPN is one of the most secure services on offer, with plenty of advanced features for protecting your data and identity when connecting from a potentially vulnerable location. It's also a strong choice for unlocking streaming sites.

A two-year subscription to NordVPN is on sale for £59.76, saving you 59% on list price for a limited time. This plan includes a generous 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can recover your cash if you're not totally satisfied. All subscribers also get malware protection, tracker blocking, and ad screening with free threat protection technology.
