Early Cyber Monday deals have started arriving and the best VPNs aren't missing out on the fun. This year's Cyber Monday VPN deals are shaping up to be an impressive step up from last year, and it's only just beginning.
Last year's Cyber Monday VPN deals saw prices drop to as low as almost $1 per month and the majority of providers offered prices below the $3 mark, well below what you'd normally expect to pay. Providers were also keen to provide added value across their offers, with NordVPN offering free Amazon gift cards alongside its discounts, and providers such as Surfshark offering up to five extra months included in the discounted plan.
Early Cyber Monday VPN deals are starting to arrive, so we've put together a complete guide of what you need to know before the big day. We've used our years of experience testing VPNs and using them in our daily lives, alongside data driven results around capabilities, pricing, and weaknesses, to curate the best Cyber Monday VPN deals already available, and give you all the information you need to pick the right VPN at the right time.

Early Cyber Monday VPN deals
Is now the time to buy a Cyber Monday VPN deal?
Although Cyber Monday VPN deals are already arriving, you wouldn't be alone if you're airing on the side of caution about the deals already available, but, to be honest, you might not have to. Although we're probably going to see some deals that equal or surpass what's already available, the Cyber Monday VPN deals we're already seeing are more than good enough to rightfully turn heads.
Offers such as FastestVPN's exclusive TechRadar offer on its lifetime plan will likely not be beaten for sheer value. Providers such as NordVPN and Surfshark sit comfortably among the best VPNs for most use cases, so it's positive to see such providers continue to improve on their Cyber Monday deals from last year, even if it's in the form of improved features and capabilities for the same monthly cost.
Something to remember when considering Cyber Monday VPN deals is that almost all providers offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. This guarantee gives you the opportunity to test a VPN service that interests you for a month, and if you're not happy, cancel your subscription and request for your money back. If you're new to VPNs, or not sure what provider suits you best, you can use these to your advantage.

How I choose Cyber Monday VPN deals
There are hundreds of VPN services on the market right now, and just because they're there, doesn't mean they're worth using. I only include services that I would genuinely recommend to my family and friends on this list—if I wouldn't trust it with the people I love using it, how could I justify recommending it to you?
I test VPNs every single day, and I've lived and breathed them for the past three years (nearly four). A deal is only included in one of my pages if it meets all of the following criteria:
- It's a VPN I have actually tested: I wouldn't recommend something I've never had my hands on.
- It's a reliable service: you can trust it to keep you and your loved ones safe online.
- It's a price I would genuinely pay for it: if I don't think the price being asked is worthy of the service, then it's not going on my list. If I wouldn't pay for it, why should you?
Cyber Monday VPN deal FAQs
Which VPN's didn't lower prices for Cyber Monday last year?
VPNs can be crafty, and make it seem as though they've slashed their prices when they're actually the same as they were yesterday. ExpressVPN and FastestVPN didn't lower their prices for Cyber Monday last year. However, that doesn't mean they weren't worth considering. While we don't know anything for certain yet, this year will likely see other top VPN providers avoid Cyber Monday VPN deals in favor of making their standard offers just as impressive.
Are Cyber Monday VPN deals the same as Black Friday?
Often VPN providers don't offer different Cyber Monday VPN deals to those we saw over the rest of the Black Friday weekend. This, however, doesn't take away from the immense savings on offer, especially when you consider many providers are only a couple of dollars per month to begin with.

Is a VPN neccessary?
A VPN is a nifty tool to have in your arsenal, not only boosting your security and online anonymity but also optimizing your device so you can get far more out of it.
By hopping on a server, your traffic will be rerouted, altering your IP address to appear as if you're somewhere else entirely. This means your internet activity is less likely to be tracked back to you, which, in turn, offers a range of perks.
You'll be able to bypass geo-restrictions and access otherwise locked content, such as streaming BBC iPlayer outside the UK. This also means your Internet Service Provider (ISP) can't see what you're doing and potentially throttle your bandwidth when carrying out more data-demanding tasks, like streaming or gaming.
Of course, on top of those, more exciting features, a VPN allows you to more safely browse online, keeping your sensitive information under heavy encryption, away from prying eyes. You can find out more in our "What is a VPN?" guide
