Our editors’ choice and best VPN selection overall: ExpressVPN is offering a great deal on its long-term 2-year plan for $4.99 per month (61 percent off). The real highlight, however, is the extremely generous six additional months granted to new subscribers. This means that not only do you get the best VPN on the market at a steep discount, but you can also enjoy the service for another half a year without paying a cent extra.

Surf shark is another of our top picks here at PCWorld and is available for just $2.49 per month for two years (86 percent off). When you sign up, you’ll also get four additional months free. Alternatively, you can also opt for this NordVPN Offer that currently costs $3.89 per month for two years (74 percent off). Both services have a number of privacy and security features. Personally, I think the Surfshark offering is slightly better – it offers fewer features and the speeds are a bit slower, but the price can’t be beat.

Fastest VPN also has an excellent deal on its unique Lifetime plan. Using coupon code BFCM24, you can subscribe to the service for life for a one-time fee of just $22.90. In addition to all the basic protections you expect from a VPN, FastestVPN’s lifetime plan also includes 15 simultaneous device logins and free access to the password manager service.

FAQ

When is Black Friday?

This year Black Friday falls on Friday, November 29th. However, many services started offering big discounts on VPNs early on and are expected to continue doing so through the holidays. Keep your eyes glued to PCWorld for the best VPN deal alerts. We are offering discounts through November and through Cyber Monday, December 2nd.

What is a VPN?

A VPN creates a secure tunnel between your PC and the Internet. You connect to a VPN server, which can be located in the US or abroad (like France or Japan). Your web traffic then goes through that server, making it appear as if you are browsing from that server’s location rather than your actual location.

When you use a VPN, it is difficult for others to spy on your internet browsing activities. Only you, the VPN service, and the website you’re visiting know what you’re up to.

A VPN can be a great solution to a variety of problems such as: B. Online privacy, anonymity, greater security on public Wi-Fi and of course location spoofing.

What should I look for in a Black Friday VPN deal?

There are a few things you should keep in mind when purchasing a good VPN plan.

Of course, the first thing you should consider is your budget. How much are you willing to spend each month? How much can you afford to give up on a longer-term plan with an upfront payment? You also need to decide how long you want to use the VPN for. Do you only need it for a short trip? A few months? Or forever? The best VPN deals are usually longer-term plans lasting two or three years.

Once you’ve decided on your budget and how long you’ll use the VPN, the next thing you can do is start comparing features. View the number of servers and locations for each VPN. A good starting point is to look for services with at least 1,000 servers and 30 or more country locations.

Next, you should consider VPN speed. This can be difficult because you probably won’t be able to test the connection speed without first paying to use the service. Reading reviews online will give you a general assessment. Look for reviews like ours that give you a relative average of connection speeds, rather than direct Mbps speed comparisons, to get a more accurate picture.

Finally, compare the data protection of each VPN. Is there a no-logs policy? Have the servers been independently audited? Where is the VPN company located? All of this is crucial and you should choose a VPN that has clear and transparent data collection policies.
