It&#8217;s easy to find VPN (virtual private network) providers that help mask your location as you surf, but don&#8217;t necessarily stop you from being tracked when you&#8217;re not tunnelled into a remote location. And there are privacy apps that shield you from trackers, but don&#8217;t provide a VPN option.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Stepping into this gap is Ghostery Midnight, <strong>an enhanced offering from long-respected tracker-blocking company, Ghostery<\/strong> \u2013 and they&#8217;re now offering <strong>a special trial discount to Softonic readers<\/strong>. To redeem, simply create your account <a href=\"https:\/\/checkout.ghostery.com\/premium?coupon=GHOSTYTONIC&amp;utm_source=article&amp;utm_campaign=softonic_article_1\"><span class=\"s2\">here<\/span><\/a> using your credit card and code GHOSTYTONIC, and you&#8217;ll <strong>get one month of Ghostery\u2019s Premium tier free<\/strong> which unlocks all the advanced features and VPN in Midnight. The regular price is $14 per month, but you can cancel during this trial period at any time.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-starred-link\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-starred-link__img\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/image\/upload\/v1588175193\/Alex_-_Asstes_to_Provide_Midnight_logo_100x100_ts2zmh.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-title\">\r\n        <p class=\"sc-card-starred-link__title\">Get 1 month of Ghostery Premium free with code GHOSTYTONIC<\/p>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__button\" href=\"https:\/\/checkout.ghostery.com\/en\/premium?coupon=GHOSTYTONIC&amp;utm_source=article&amp;utm_campaign=softonic_article_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\">Claim your special intro offer now<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__link\" href=\"https:\/\/checkout.ghostery.com\/en\/premium?coupon=GHOSTYTONIC&amp;utm_source=article&amp;utm_campaign=softonic_article_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h2>How Midnight works<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Like Ghostery&#8217;s free browser plug-ins and light version of its software, <strong>Midnight is fast and easy to install<\/strong> and super simple to navigate. Once loaded on your computer, it <strong>automatically gets to work blocking ads and trackers<\/strong> not only in any browser you launch, but also on any app on your computer that connects to the internet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is a key difference between Ghostery&#8217;s free version and Premium version of Midnight. When you go free, you&#8217;ll only have basic browser protection, typically by installing the plug-in on each browser you use. But <strong>Midnight offers you device-level security<\/strong> in a very user-friendly way. Load it, run it, and relax \u2013 it will do all its work efficiently in the background.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Its quiet operation is a welcome relief from other ad-blockers that continuously pop-up with notifications telling you how many trackers it&#8217;s blocked. Ghostery provides this information as well, but only when you want to dive in and see it through the main dashboard.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-151062\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/image\/upload\/c_scale,q_auto:good,w_700\/v1588174896\/control_panel_ympzlf.webp\" alt=\"Ghostery Midnight\" width=\"700\" height=\"523\"><span class=\"s1\">From that same dashboard, you can <strong>toggle overall tracker and ad-blocking protections<\/strong>, as well as select any running apps you&#8217;d like to exclude from Midnight&#8217;s protection. Clicking on individual apps also provides you with the stats on how much and what specifically was blocked such as <strong>advertising, social media trackers and site statistics trackers<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-151064\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/image\/upload\/c_scale,q_auto:good,w_700\/v1588175050\/breakdown_ikyoia.webp\" alt=\"Ghostery Midnight\" width=\"700\" height=\"520\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-151063\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/image\/upload\/c_scale,q_auto:good,w_700\/v1588174980\/applications_plae68.webp\" alt=\"Ghostery Midnight\" width=\"700\" height=\"522\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A handy &#8220;pause&#8221; switch lets you suspend Ghostery Midnight for <strong>30 minutes, one hour or 24 hours<\/strong>. This is helpful if you&#8217;re having trouble following a link through which you&#8217;ll be tracked, but one that you want to access nonetheless.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"s1\">Added bonus<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As we mentioned, <strong>what makes Ghostery Midnight truly impressive is its easy built-in VPN service<\/strong>. As the third toggle switch on your dashboard, it&#8217;s as easy as one click to turn the service on and off. Once toggled on, a drop-down window lets you choose between servers in six locations: Montreal, Singapore, Frankfurt, London, and Los Angeles and Atlanta in the US. While this isn&#8217;t nearly as many servers as offered by the top VPN providers, the <strong>benefit here is that you have all your privacy options in one place<\/strong>. And truthfully, most users can be perfectly happy using just a handful of VPN servers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The deal<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As a Softonic reader, you can access one <b>full-featured month of Ghostery Midnight free <\/b>when you use the link below to sign up, <b>along with code: GHOSTYTONIC<\/b>. You&#8217;ll need to create an account with a credit card, but you can cancel at any time. After your trial period, the monthly subscription would cost $14 per month.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-starred-link\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-starred-link__img\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/image\/upload\/v1588175193\/Alex_-_Asstes_to_Provide_Midnight_logo_100x100_ts2zmh.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-title\">\r\n        <p class=\"sc-card-starred-link__title\">Get 1 month of Ghostery Premium free with code GHOSTYTONIC<\/p>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__button\" href=\"https:\/\/checkout.ghostery.com\/en\/premium?coupon=GHOSTYTONIC&amp;utm_source=article&amp;utm_campaign=softonic_article_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\">Claim your special intro offer now<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__link\" href=\"https:\/\/checkout.ghostery.com\/en\/premium?coupon=GHOSTYTONIC&amp;utm_source=article&amp;utm_campaign=softonic_article_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p3\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s been something of a gap in the software security world.
