Surfshark is my favorite VPN for the price-conscious buyer and the great news is that it's even cheaper while the Cyber Monday sales last.

There are 87% savings to be had on Surfshark before the day's out. I rate it as one of the best Cyber Monday VPN deals. Go for the 24-month plan for the best rates which start at $1.99 per month for the Surfshark Starter VPN deal.

It's one of the best VPNs and it won't take too big a bite out of your bank account.

Surfshark: Best cheap VPN (and the fastest)

Surfshark: 24-month plans + 4 extra months from $1.99/month (billed as $55.72 upfront)
Best cheap VPN (and the fastest)
Cyber Monday is here and Surfshark is marking the occasion with a show-stopping sale. Boasting the fastest speeds around – confirmed after multiple rounds of testing – plus features such as ad-blocking and Alternate ID included in all plans, a Starter subscription is far from basic. Upgrade to one of its One or One+ plans and you'll have access to features such as real-time breach alerts, a private search browser, and 24/7 antivirus protection.

Why Surfshark?

  • Ridiculous speeds (over 950 Mbps when using WireGuard)
  • Flawless unblocking of geo-restricted content (including Netflix libraries)
  • A full suite of security tools available with specific plans
More Surfshark deals

2024 has been a big year for Surfshark. After adding several impressive security tools to its premium plans, and continuing to offer today's fastest VPN speeds, Surfshark climbed our rankings to land in second place for the very first time.

We'd previously noticed a handful of flaws that had limited our recommendation of Surfshark – most notably the issue with its kill switch. However, the provider resolved the situation while adding a range of improvements to the service.

While Surfshark is a super-speedy service, it's pretty much on par with the likes of Proton VPN and NordVPN, which also clocked in at 950 Mbps during our testing. You would barely notice the difference between the providers. In terms of security, we rarely stray from recommending ExpressVPN as today's most secure VPN. Surfshark does offer battle-tested security, however, and its main selling point is its awesome platter of features.

In fact, Surfshark's suite of online security tools is only truly rivaled by NordVPN. So yes, while security should be your number one priority when skimming today's sales, Surfshark's Cyber Monday deal makes it a tempting option for folks who want robust privacy-boosting tools – but aren't concerned about ticking each and every box.

For context, should you choose to buy a Surfshark One plan (which starts at only $2.49/month with 4 extra months on Cyber Monday) you get:

  • The VPN (obviously!)
  • Ad blocking
  • Cookie pop-up blocking
  • Alternate ID (masked personal details, email address and phone number)
  • Real-time email breach alerts
  • Real-time credit card and ID breach alerts
  • Personal data security reports
  • A private search engine
  • 24/7 antivirus protection
  • Webcam protection
  • Antivirus, anti-spyware, and malware protection

Plus, if you choose to go for a One+ plan instead you also get data removal from company databases and people search sites!
