VPN Black Friday & Cyber Monday Deals

Black Friday conjures images of discounted washing machines, TVs sold for the prices of yesterday’s DVD players, and malls crowded with Moms, coupons in hands. However, it’s 2020, and this year, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are going to look a little different. If you’re looking for an affordable VPN, it makes sense to wait until these shopping holidays. We’ve found the best deals on the VPNs we’ve tested so you can save on online privacy.

ExpressVPN

Our rating: 9.4

Last year, ExpressVPN offered three free months with an annual plan, with the monthly rate coming out to only $6.67 on both Black Friday and Cyber Monday. That’s a 49 percent discount, which is good because ExpressVPN’s pricing tends to be on the higher end.

Surfshark

Our rating: 9.1

As of November 11th, Surfshark is giving us a two-year subscription with three months added, for free. If you do that math, that comes down to $2.21 a month for $59.76 total, a very low price indeed. Read our Surfshark review for more information.

Past Black Friday and Cyber Monday VPN Deals

As of now, most VPN companies haven’t announced their Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals, which is why we looked into the past to see what was discounted. We saw savings of up to 90 percent, so we can expect to put a lot of money back in our pockets this year, as well. Here are the best VPN deals for this year, ranked.

NordVPN

Our rating: 9.5

In Black Friday 2019, NordVPN gave us $3.49 a month for a three year plan, which included three months on the house plus 70 percent off a three-year plan for Nordlocker, their encrypted cloud storage.

IPVanish

Our rating: 9

IPVanish is super generous with its discounts, giving us up to 88 percent off two year plans last Black Friday, which amounted to $3.33 a month, or, the year before, 72 percent off two year plans on Cyber Monday. We expect big things in 2020!

Hotspot Shield

Our rating: 8.6

Although we didn’t see any Black Friday deals from Hotspot Shield last year, we did see an offer of 38 percent off the annual plan, which came out to $7.99 a month. Not bad!

Astrill VPN

Our rating: 8.5

Sure, it’s been a minute since Astrill VPN gave us discounts on Black Friday and Cyber Monday (five years, to be exact). That being said, in 2015, they gave us up to 57 percent off their VPNs plus free routers or wireless extenders, while Cyber Monday gave us an annual subscription for $29.95 plus a free StealthVPN subscription. We haven’t reviewed StealthVPN, but free is free!

Ivacy VPN

Our rating: 8.5

Last year, Ivacy offered the same deal on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, either 90 percent off a five year plan for $0.99 a month, or 66 percent off the one year plan for $3.33 a month. Less than a dollar a month for a VPN? Sign us up!

ibVPN

Our rating: 8.4

It’s been a couple years since ibVPN has given us Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals, but we did see annual subscriptions discounted by 69 percent, making them only $1.54 a month. This is by far one of the lowest monthly prices we’ve seen from a VPN, so we’re hoping that ibVPN picks up these discounts in 2020.

KeepSolid VPN Unlimited

Our rating: 8

Remember those lifetime subscriptions we mentioned earlier? In 2019 Black Friday, KeepSolid gave us over 90 percent off a lifetime subscription, which came out to only $39; yes, you read that right. In 2017, we saw 89 percent off lifetime subscriptions on Cyber Monday, plus an extra 40 percent off using the code CYBER40.2 In other words, expect deals on deals on deals.

VPNs aren’t hugely expensive in general, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you can get them for less than ever before.
