Best Black Friday VPN deals you can still buy this weekend | usagoldmines.com

Black Friday is here and the biggest shopping event of the year does not disappoint with VPN deals. Most VPN providers began offering killer discounts on subscription plans early and most deals are expected to run through the entirety of the holiday season.

Still, not all VPN deals are built the same. When shopping for a VPN, it’s important to know what deal is actually a great value. To help, we’ve tracked down and curated the top Black Friday VPN deals on offer during Black Friday 2024.

This year we’re seeing some great discounts on our Editors’ Choice picks, including ExpressVPN, NordVPN, Surfshark, and more.

Best Black Friday VPN deals

  • ExpressVPN, now $4.99 per month for 24 months + 6 free months (61% off at ExpressVPN)
  • Surfshark VPN, now $2.49 per month for 24 months + 4 free months (86% off at Surfshark)
  • NordVPN, now $2.99 per month for 24 months + 3 free months (74% off at NordVPN)
  • FastestVPN, now $30 for lifetime plan (93% off at FastestVPN)
  • Private Internet Access, now $1.98 per month for 36 months + 4 free months (83% off at PIA)
  • Norton Ultra VPN, now $2.50 per month for 12 months (72% off at Norton)
  • Proton VPN, now $2.99 per month for 12 months (70% off at ProtonVPN)
  • PrivadoVPN, now $1.48 per month for 24 months + 3 free months (87% off at Privado VPN)
  • IPVanish VPN, now $3.29 per month for 24 months (64% off at IPVanish)
  • Hotspot Shield, now $3.33 per month for 12 months (66% off at Hotspot Shield)

Our Editors’ Choice and top overall VPN pick, ExpressVPN is offering a great deal on its long-term 2-year plan for $4.99 per month (61 percent off). The real kicker, though, is the extremely generous six extra months thrown in for new subscribers. That means not only are you getting the best VPN on the market at a steep discount, but you’ll also enjoy the service for an additional half a year without paying an extra cent.

Surfshark is another of our top picks here at PCWorld, and this one’s on sale for just $2.49 per month for two years (86 percent off). It also provides an additional four extra months for free when you sign up. Alternatively, you could opt for the NordVPN deal that’s currently $3.89 per month for two years (74 percent off). Both services come with a stacked line-up of privacy and security features. Personally, I think the Surfshark deal is a bit better — it comes with fewer features and the speeds are just a tad slower, but the price can’t be beat.

FastestVPN also has an outstanding deal going for its unique lifetime plan. Using the coupon code BFCM24, you can get a lifetime subscription to the service for a one-time charge of only $22.90. On top of all of the basic protections you would expect from a VPN, FastestVPN’s lifetime plan also includes 15 simultaneous device logins and access to its password manager service for free.

FAQ


1.

When is Black Friday?

This year, Black Friday falls on Friday, November 29. However, many services began offering great discounts on VPNs early and are expected to continue them through the holiday season. Keep your eyes tuned to PCWorld for the best VPN deal alerts. We’ll be covering discounts through November and on to Cyber Monday, December 2.

2.

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 United States or a foreign country (like France or Japan). Your web traffic then goes through that server to make it appear as though you’re browsing from that server’s location and not from your actual location.

When you’re using a VPN, it’s difficult for others to snoop on your web-browsing activity. Only you, the VPN service, and the website you’re visiting will know what you’re up to. 

A VPN can be a great solution to a variety of concerns, such as online privacy, anonymity, greater security on public Wi-Fi, and, of course, spoofing locations.

3.

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

There are a few things you should keep in mind when shopping for a good VPN deal.

The first thing to consider is, of course, your budget. How much are you willing to spend each month? How much can you afford to drop on a longer-term plan with an upfront payment? You’ll also need to determine how long you intend to use the VPN. Do you just need it for a short trip? A few months? Or forever? The very best VPN deals are generally on longer-term plans for two or three years.

After you decide on your budget and how long you’ll use the VPN, next you can start comparing features. Look at the number of servers and locations for each VPN. A good starting point is to look for services that have at least 1,000 servers and 30 or more country locations.

The next thing to consider is VPN speed. This may be tricky to do since you aren’t likely to be able to test connection speeds without first paying to use the service. Reading reviews online will give you a general estimate. Look for reviews, like ours, that give you a relative average of connection speeds rather than direct Mbps speed comparisons for a more accurate picture.

Finally, compare each VPN’s privacy protections. Does it have a no-logs policy? Has it undergone any independent audits of its servers? Where is the VPN company located? All of these are critical and you’ll want to go with a VPN that has clear and transparent data collection policies.
