If you’ve been considering investing in a VPN (Virtual Private Network) software to protect your privacy online, several reputable services are offering deals right now.
A VPN will encrypt all your data so a middle-man can’t snoop through it. And the VPN services we are recommending here have a no-log policy, so your data is not recorded anywhere. You can use VPNs to protect your traffic when you’re in a public network, and you can use them to access blocked websites, or access content from different countries (which is also useful when you’re traveling).
If you want to try a VPN, subscribe to one of the deals below, which come out to a couple of dollars a month. (And it’s better than using a free VPN because you don’t always know what those services are doing with your data.)
Surfshark always has the best value plans. It's currently $1.99/month and you get four free months for its Black Friday deal.
NordVPN is another reliable and budget-friendly contender. You’ll get a 74% discount right now, currently $3.49/month, plus three months extra during this Black Friday deal.
Proton VPN is a great option if you’re concerned primarily with privacy. Its two-year plan is 55% off, and the price is locked for a lifetime. So’ll get safe, unlimited VPN access at $4.49/month (billed at $107.76 for the first two years).
Private Internet Access is a trusted, reliable VPN provider, and its plans are currently deeply discounted. You’ll get 83% off a two-year plan, which comes down to $2.03/month, plus you get four months for free.
CyberGhost has a massively diverse server network, but not a massive sticker price. You can sign up for its 27-month plan for just $2.03/month (billed $56.94 upfront). That’s a steep discount from the usual price of $12.99/month.
TunnelBear is the simplest (and cutest) VPN service around. When someone just wants to try out a VPN service, this is what I suggest because it has a limited free plan. Its two-year unlimited plan is currently on sale for $4.17/month, billed $99.99 upfront for the year. That’s 58% off the usual rate.
Pure VPN is one of the few providers that offers a deep discount on a one-year plan. With its current sale, you can get a 12-month subscription at $29.99, which comes to $2.49 per month.
IPVanish offers a minimalist app and a straightforward interface. You get two years at just $2.19 per month, billed $52.56 upfront (Disclosure: IPVanish is owned by Ziff Davis, which also owns Lifehacker).
