You’re going to be on the Internet a bit over the next few weeks, whether it be shopping for Black Friday deals, watching movies, gaming, or Zoom calling faraway relatives. But being online now carries with it the intense annoyance of having all your actions tracked, recorded, measured, and monitored to best exploit your data. And we don’t like that. That’s why picking up a new VPN subscription is a smart way to spend a little cash. Several major brands are offering deep discounts leading up to Black Friday, so snag then while you can.
What To Know About Black Friday VPN Deals
VPNs typically work on a subscription basis, with a discounted sale price that returns to normal after a set period of time. We’ve got a detailed explainer on selecting and setting up the best one for you, but the most important thing to note when you pick a plan is how long the discounted price lasts for, as well as what the length of the subscription term is. That said, with the amount you’re saving on these three deals, you’ll have plenty of cash lying around.
IPVanish VPN Deal
IPVanish VPN
108 countries, 50GBps capacity, unlimited connections
$2.19
at IPVanish
$12.99
Save $10.80
One of the juiciest Black Friday discounts anywhere in the VPN space comes from IPVanish, who are offering a massive 83% price drop on their already affordable service. In our review, we raved about the 150 servers located all around the world, as well as the minimal speed difference in our extensive testing. The cherry on top of the sundae is their support for unlimited connected devices on a single plan, meaning you don’t need to set up multiple accounts. Our main criticism was its retail price, which is higher than some competitors, but this exclusive Black Friday price drop solves that.
ProtonVPN VPN Deal
ProtonVPN
117 countries, 10GBps capacity, 10 connections.
$2.49
at ProtonVPN
$9.99
Save $7.50
We’ve put a lot of VPN services through their paces, and ProtonVPN is the only one that received a perfect five-star rating, along with an Editors’ Choice award. In our review, we said that it “rises above the competition with an excellent collection of features, a high-performance server network, and a nearly peerless free subscription option.” It’s worth paying for the full version, though, as it delivers excellent private browsing plus secure email, storage, and calendar tools. Proton also offers group and family plans that let you save a ton.

Nord VPN Deal
NordVPN
117 countries, 10GBps capacity, 10 connections.
$2.99
at NordVPN
$11.59
Save $8.60
Another Editors’ Choice-winning service, NordVPN is a tremendous option for most people, with exceptional speed, servers all over the globe, and support for lots of connection types including multi-hop, split tunneling, and Tor. In our review, we raved about Nord’s “strong commitment to user privacy through regular third-party audits and transparent data practices,” noting that they constantly upgrade and revise their protocols to meet the market. With both physical and virtual servers, speeds can vary, but overall it tested well in our benchmarking, and this is a great discount.
ExpressVPN Deal
ExpressVPN
105 countries, 10GBps capacity, 10 connections.
$3.49
at ExpressVPN
$12.99
Save $9.50
We gave an Editors’ Choice award to ExpressVPN’s excellent service as well, praising its enormous fleet of servers strewn across not only over a hundred countries, but also each individual U.S. state—something that’s becoming more relevant as local governments seek to restrict Internet traffic. In our full review, we also were dazzled by its incredible security, with support for 256-bit AES encryption and post-quantum protection through its proprietary Lightway protocol. All of this protection comes at virtually no speed cost, with ExpressVPN promising full support for up to 4K media streaming. Our only concern was the price, so a 73% Black Friday discount? Get in the express lane for this one.
