Security: Proton VPN doesn't pull punches when it comes to privacy, either. It uses military-grade encryption to keep your data secure and unreadable to third parties, and its Secure Core servers give you an added layer of protection if you need it.

Update November 30: Proton VPN's flash sale has now expired. However, Proton VPN's Black Friday deal is still great value. It's 70% and $2.99 per month until at least Monday December 2.

Black Friday is here and the biggest shopping event of the year does not disappoint with VPN deals. Most VPN providers began offering killer discounts on subscription plans early and most deals are expected to run through the entirety of the holiday season.

Proton isn't just offering an amazing Black Friday VPN deal – its full-suite is 50% off, too. Here's all you need to know.

Black Friday VPN deals are here - good thing you're this early. Save up to 84% with these Black Friday VPN offers and pay as low as $2.03/mo.

Fake online shops are especially dangerous, due to their very convincing appearance. Scammers adopt tricks like subtly altering website URLs, and hiding their actual length – replacing "Amazon" with "Arnazon" is a common one, and easy to miss if you're not paying attention.

PrivadoVPN is the best free VPN we've tested, and it's great if you want a simple and effective VPN for streaming and staying private day-to-day. It's not quite of the same quality as Proton VPN or Surfshark, but it's perfectly safe to use, and eminently affordable.

There are many high-quality VPN services to consider, each with different subscription options that are heavily discounted for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Black Friday means deals, even in the VPN industry, but not every provider takes part. I'll explain why – and how you can spot a bargain anyway.
