One of the world's biggest online security firms has proudly thrown its weight behind GB News.
Express VPN, which helps people stay safe online for just 7p per day, has ignored pressure from political activists to support The People's Channel.
The prominent cybersecurity firm, part of global giant Kape Technologies, has decided to back us – and we'd love it if you backed them.
It has launched a dedicated webpage to explain how its award-winning service helps encrypt everything you do online - keeping the websites you visit safe from snooping governments, advertisers, and even your broadband supplier.
The leading software brand is so proud to be associated with our bold and fearless journalism that GB News' own Patrick Christys is fronting the campaign.
For a limited time, ExpressVPN starts from just £1.99 a month, one of the best VPN deals around.
Subscribing to ExpressVPN will not only ensure your browsing history is secured with military-grade encryption, but it will also support GB News' mission as the home of free speech.

Running a VPN uses end-to-end encryption to anonymise everything you do online, bolstering your privacy, hiding your location, and stopping advertisers, trackers, and even governments from keeping tabs on you.
Without this, outsiders can keep a record of the websites that you visit, how frequently you navigate to these sites, and how much time you spend on them. That's very valuable data for advertisers and governments.
If you're concerned about privacy online, you need a VPN.
GB News is celebrating its position as Britain’s number one news channel for a sixth consecutive month. Latest BARB data shows the People’s Channel outperforming both Sky News and the BBC News Channel throughout December, having also led the market in July, August, September, October and November
| GB NEWSJust a few years ago, VPNs weren't commonly used outside of the workplace. Companies would insist that VPNs were enabled at all times to avoid anyone being able to snoop on the data transferred.
But with the introduction of the Online Safety Act last summer, which triggered a 1,400% spike in VPN downloads in the UK, not to mention the UK Government's push towards Digital ID cards, Brits are flocking to these secure apps to shield their online activity.
Security experts caution against looking to free VPNs to secure your connection, since the cost of running VPN servers across the globe and developing the apps is likely covered by siphoning off data about users.
ExpressVPN charges just £1.99-a-month for its Basic subscription tier, the equivalent of 7p per day, which includes unlimited access to its award-winning VPN service, which is available in 105 countries spread across 170+ server locations.
Connecting to a VPN server will add military-grade encryption to everything you do online, keeping your web browsing history and personal data locked away from governments, advertisers, and cybercriminals

Not only that, but ExpressVPN will bundle its Lite Protection package, which blocks adverts and malicious websites on your devices to keep your browsing speedy and safe.
ExpressVPN reserves its best deals for those who subscribe to a two-year plan.
That might sound intimidating - especially if you haven't subscribed to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) before - but the popular brand offers a no-quibbles 30 day money-back guarantee so you can try out every feature on every device before deciding whether to move ahead with the full 24-month contract.
With round-the-clock customer support, you'll be able to talk to someone from any time zone to get a full refund if you're unhappy with the experience on your devices.
Even better, ExpressVPN will bundle four months of extra access at no cost – so you'll be able to encrypt and secure your connection for 28 months without paying any more than a two-year plan.
ExpressVPN uses military-grade AES-256 encryption, the same standard trusted by the US government to guard classified information. It's also one of the only companies to use top-tier post-quantum encryption - future-proofing its encryption for decades to come.
The vote of confidence in GB News from ExpressVPN comes as the latest BARB data shows the People’s Channel outperforming both Sky News and the BBC News Channel throughout December, having also led the market in July, August, September, October and November.
Angelos Frangopoulos, CEO of GB News, said: “The people of Britain trust us to provide journalism which is fearless and bold. It's great that a major, trusted global brand like ExpressVPN has also put its faith in us to help it grow."
