    windscribe has an easy option to get a bunch of extra data that is permanently added to your account - 15GB free every month is pretty damn handy, and it has a chrome plugin so you don't have to use it for your entire computer, just your browser. (other plugins too, and a full app, if that's what you want, I just use it in chrome.)
