How to choose best Cyber Monday VPN deals

There's a lot to consider when it comes to choosing the best Cyber Monday VPN deal, and the ones above are the ones absolutely worth buying right now.

As a rule of thumb, price isn't everything—even on a special day like today. That's the reason I decided to add ExpressVPN's offer in my roundup of the best deals out there, despite the price being way higher than competitors.

ExpressVPN is the service which all here at TechRadar use everyday both at work and in our free time, and we can honestly recommend it for its smooth user experience and stable connections.

If you're after a reliable streaming VPN (and some extra savings, too), I recommend going for NordVPN—its unblocking powers are absolutely faultless. A keen gamer? Surfshark, NordVPN and IPVanish were the fastest VPNs out there last time we checked.

PIA is then the service I would suggest buying if you are a more experienced user who's after a truly customizable experience.

Why do I need a VPN?

A VPN has become an essential tool for every kind of internet user. It's, in fact, way more than just about hiding yourself from snooping internet providers, but rather for better everyday online experiences overall.

Let's say you connect to the public WiFi in your local cafe. You're browsing the internet, maybe you're doing some online banking or buying something in the Cyber Monday sales. That's all fine, except you're not the only person seeing your information. Without a VPN, your internet traffic is open and accessible, and can easily be acquired by hackers. With a VPN, your data is encrypted, so even if you've connected to that fake WiFi hotspot, the hacker will have no clue what's going on in your data packets. It keeps you safe online while protecting your privacy and anonymity at the same time.

A VPN is also the software you need to access your usual streaming catalog when traveling abroad, or bypass any other type of geo-restrictions applied on online content across the world. It can also make your torrenting activities safer, and your gaming experience more stable.
