We are in the middle of Cyber Monday, meaning you still have until the end of the day to grab a premium security service for a fraction of the price thanks to some great Cyber Monday VPN deals.
I was amazed to see so many of the best VPN providers joining the shopping sales season and seriously chopping their usual pricing. This means that you'll get even more value for money for your next VPN subscription.
While many VPNs are discounted right now, below are the top five offers I truly recommend. The discounts are expected to end soon, so hurry up before it's too late!
The best discounted VPN you can get
TechRadar's tried and tested top VPN recommendation has lowered its pricing with a fantastic Cyber Monday discount of up to 74% off. NordVPN is a great all-around that will suit everyone's needs.
You can expect easy-to-use apps across virtually every platform you can think of – even the next-generation Snapdragon PCs – packed with all the basic goods alongside many extra privacy and security features. Its performance is impressive thanks to some of the fastest speeds we tested and impeccable unblocking – whether that's a foreign streaming library or a censored site.
I'd recommend subscribing to its slightly more expensive Plus plan for maximum protection. For the equivalent of $3.89 a month, you'll also get a password manager, data breach scanner, DNS filtering, and super reliable Threat Protection Pro, an award-winning anti-malware and phishing tool.
The cheapest VPN and security bundle
How can the best cheap VPN get even more cheaper? Once again, Surfshark has proven this to be possible when Cyber Monday arrives as it slashed its cost by up to 87%.
Don't be fooled by the small price tag, though. Surfshark is a very capable service that has just climbed to #2 of our top VPN rankings. Expect impressive performances – Surfshark is the fastest VPN we tested – and some distinctive extra features, like its NoBorders tool which helps you bypass VPN blocking.
Among the different Surfshark plans on offer, the Surfshark One+ subscription is the one to get if you're after a VPN with a security bundle. The equivalent of $3.99 gives you a wealth of ID protection tools, such as ID breach alerts and private search tools, alongside antivirus/anti-malware software and even a data removal service.
A first-time Cyber Monday VPN
This year there's a long-awaited new entry into the Black Friday and Cyber Monday VPN charts – ExpressVPN. For the occasion, the provider is offering up to 82% off savings and 6 months of free protection on top. Not bad for a first-timer.
While it passed from #2 to #3 in our VPN rankings after the last round of testing, ExpressVPN remains one of the top choices on the market. Offering some of the most intuitive apps, packed with security features, including a reliable password manager even with its most basic plan. The service offers great performances all around.
Cyber Monday discounts, topped with a new (cheaper) two-year plan, have certainly addressed the biggest reason behind ExpressVPN's back-sliding ranking position. I especially recommend getting its longer plan if you are in the US to bag yourself its new Identity Defender and Credit Scanner suite for as little as $4.99 per month.
The most private VPN deal
Not many things are certain in life, but when you hear Proton you know that means privacy. The Swiss-based provider is famous for its commitment to securing people's data offering both great free and paid plans – whether you want to use its secure email service, ProtonMail, password manager, ProtonPass, encrypted cloud storage, Proton Drive, or, well, one of the most private VPN apps on the market, ProtonVPN.
Yes, Proton offers one of the best free VPN services. The freemium plan, however, doesn't give you access to all its potential, such as streaming unblocking, torrenting VPN protection, and its full server network, including its 100+ Secure Core servers for extra privacy and security.
I wouldn't usually recommend ProtonVPN if you're on a budget, but you can now buy this beauty starting from a $2.99 monthly fee instead of the usual $9.99 price tag. If you are looking to cut the tights with Big Tech products, Proton gives you the means to take back control over all the aspects of your digital data.
The VPN for a lifetime
What if I tell you that you can get lifetime VPN access for less than you would spend on a meal? FastestVPN's Cyber Monday offer is undoubtedly the wildest for this year with TechRadar's exclusive price of $22.90.
While not entering our top 10 favorite VPNs just yet, FastetsVP's deal is certainly one to consider. It certainly doesn't fully live up to its name, but it still offers decent performances and an independent audited no-log privacy policy (likewise its predecessors) – meaning that it never records any of your sensitive information of what you do online.
If you are looking for a VPN with impeccable speeds, additional privacy features, and a well-served server network, you should opt for one of the previously discounted services I mentioned. That said, FastetstVPN is certainly a super affordable choice for those looking for basic protection and streaming unblocking.
