Do you need a VPN? If you use the internet on a daily basis, connect to public Wi-Fi hotspots, or torrent files, you most likely do. Websites, internet providers, government agencies, network operators, and big tech companies collect a ton of data. Some of those are benign, but you never know when a data breach might happen. It’s also hard to pinpoint and keep track of what data is being logged, so the safest route is to use a VPN to hide your browsing history.

Some folks, however, are adamantly against using VPNs because of the cost. We admit, paying a monthly or yearly subscription to enjoy private browsing isn’t the most ideal. But if you’re willing to meet halfway, there are a bunch of good VPN deals that can help you bring the cost. Let’s take a closer look.

VPN Deals

Just because you’re looking for deals doesn’t mean you have to settle for lower-quality options. There are good bargains even from the best VPNs, and we encourage you to take a look at them before anything else. Here are a few of our favorite options:

Those VPNs all ranked within our top 10, so you know that they offer high-quality service. They each have thousands of servers available, they offer must-have features like a kill switch and split tunneling, and they have a ‘no-logs’ privacy policy. And when it comes to deals, they offer discounts pretty much the entire year.

Tip: Want to try before you buy? Take advantage of a free VPN, as well as VPNs with free trials, which last for as long as 30 days.

VPN Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals

There are so many Black Friday and Cyber Monday VPN deals that we made an entire page for them. But if you want to do a deeper dive, go to each VPN’s individual Black Friday deals page:

VPN Prime Day Deals

Prime Day occurs once a year, but it’s usually a two-day event, which, in 2021, falls on June 21 and 22.1 However, since Prime Day mainly features Amazon-owned products, you won’t see many VPN deals. Instead, you can get deals by buying from VPN providers directly.

VPN Holiday and Seasonal Deals

We’ve seen VPN deals on specific holidays, like Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, Father’s Day, and more, plus seasonal VPN deals during the summer, winter, fall or spring. Although the weather outside may be changing, the savings are consistent.

VPN Coupon Codes

Usually, you don’t need a coupon or promo code to access VPN service deals. Rather, the website applies them automatically, creating less work and more savings for you.

VPN Pricing

VPN pricing ranges from around $5 to $10 a month, but if you sign up for longer-term contracts, like one year or more, you can pay as little as $3 a month or less with discounts. If you’re wondering what VPNs cost without discounts, we’ve got it covered.
