Black Friday VPN deals: get cheap internet privacy in 2024

As VPNs go, CyberGhost is a pretty great choice. Its large range of well over 11,000 servers spans more than 100 countries and in general, none of them have any serious problem accessing streaming sites or online games. It allowance for only seven simultaneous connections is a little low by today’s standards, but that should still be absolutely fine for most people.

So what kind of deals this this ghosty old rascal have for you? Well, for one thing the price has just recently jumped down by a decent chunk, so it’s now available at an 82% discount if you go for the two-year plan (when compared to the static single-month cost). Meanwhile, you can also get some decent savings on various other CyberGhost services.

In addition to the VPN, you can get the CyberGhost Security Suite at a 75% discount. While the VPN can do a good job of protecting your privacy, that’s only one slice of the security pie, and this nets you an antivirus to go along with it, plus the Security Updater, which identifies potential security issues in any old apps that you might have on your device (and updates them accordingly).

If it’s something you’re on the fence about, then you might like to think about using the CyberGhost free trial. It only lasts for 24 hours, but after that, you’ve also got a lengthy 45-day moneyback guarantee to fall back on. If you’re not sure if you want to take the plunge yet, this gives you a bit of time to test it out.

NordVPN’s Black Friday deal is now up and running! Yes, it is still a little more expensive than some of the other services even when its reduced, but you’re getting your money’s worth. It is one of the most well-known and respected VPN

NordVPN is one of the most well-known and highly respected brands in the world, and we’re sure that many of you will have heard of it. It has the proud distinction of officially providing the fastest VPN service currently available. When tested on an OpenVPN encryption, it had a faster average server download speed than any other provider on this list (although, of course, performance will vary based on various external factors).

With split-tunnelling support, you can browse the internet locally in one window, while streaming via an international IP in another window. And with a kill switch in place, there’s no risk of your data being exposed, even for a second.

If you sign up to NordVPN today you can get a whopping 64% off its two-year plan. This costs $81.36 (£76.56) in total, which when broken down is just $3.39 (£3.19) a month. It offers a 30-day money-back guarantee which gives you plenty of wiggle room if you want to take it for a spin before making any big commitments.

Private Internet Access (PIA) has a higher number of servers than any other provider on this list (over 30,000) which means that its users are very unlikely to experience server congestion-related slowdown. It spans over 91 countries too, has a secure kill switch, built-in ad-blocking, and undergoes regular privacy audits (the latest was just earlier this year).

The current PIA discount includes an 85% discount for anybody who goes for the two-year plan rather than just paying monthly. On top of that, it also throws in a couple of extra months for free, so you’re paying for 24 months, but getting 26.

Unfortunately, PIA does not offer any kind of free trial, so it’s impossible to dip your toe into this bath. However, those that do are the exception rather than the rule, so it’s not really a mark against it – and it does still have a 30-day money-back guarantee for you to fall back on.

Surfshark is not the only VPN offering unlimited simultaneous connections, but it deserves credit for being one of the very first. Where it historically lagged behind competitor’s with its server range, the service has been significantly expanded in recent times, and long-term customers are getting increasingly better value for money.

The current pricing is specifically a Black Friday deal and just last month it cost almost a whole dollar more per month. Over the span of years, that really started to add up. It is very probable that it will return to this price in another month’s time too, so don’t let the deal slip through your fingers.

Nicely, the lower price coincides with getting more time too. Right now, if you go for the two-year plan, you also get four free months thrown in. This is also a recent development, as while Surfshark has often rewarded customers with an extra month or two if they went for a bigger plan, it’s not usually as many as four.

And if you’re not sure? Try out its week-long free trial… if you can. It’s only available on mobile and Apple devices. You could technically get it on your phone, then connect your PC via your phone, but that’s pretty convoluted and won’t really be a reflection of how it normally feels to use. There’s always the 30-day money-back guarantee to fall back on, at least.

Although it is now relatively common for VPN providers to do this, PureVPN was one of the first providers to regularly subject itself to third-party audits. Since then it has continued to live up its ‘pure’ name by offering a transparent and reliable service that remains a top choice to this very day.

If you’re looking for something that you can pay for and then not worry about again for the foreseeable future, then this will be an especially appealing choice, because you get a huge 85% discount if you’re willing to commit to the five-year plan. Yes, it is a slightly bigger payment up front, but think of it as a special deal when buying privacy in bulk.

Based in America, IPVanish is another very well-known and respected VPN provider. With split-tunnelling features, you can set different apps to access the internet via different servers and its kill switch ensures that you are protected 100% of the time, even if the VPN goes down.

This is the third and final entry on this list that gives you unlimited simultaneous connections, making it one to watch if you have a large household all seeking VPN cover. Meanwhile, by submitting itself for third-party audits, you can rest assured that it can be trusted not to peep at your data.

IPVanish is now offering its one-year plan at just $2.99 (£2.19) With a 30-day money-back guarantee, you’ll have enough time to make sure that it’s the right fit for you before making any commitments.

Based in Switzerland, relative newcomer PrivadoVPN is becoming a big player in the VPN arena. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, it provides a comprehensive service, with dedicated apps for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, meaning that you’ll get the best protection for your preferred platform.

This is a provider that has a free plan in place for anybody who may not be able to make room for a VPN in their budget. This could also be a chance for you to try PrivadoVPN on for size before committing to it, although the free plan is much more limited than the paid one (only allowing 10GB of data per month).

PrivadoVPN is currently offering a sweet discount on its 12-month package. This includes unlimited data, up to ten simultaneous internet connections, and an unlimited number of devices – protecting even the largest of households. Your data remains secure with their zero-logging policy and with servers in 59 cities, you don’t need to worry about service outages.
