We've spent 15+ years testing VPNs, but these deals are the ones that excite us the most

FULL STORY ======================================================================

It's the most wonderful time of the year if you're looking to pick up one of the best VPNs out there.

Black Friday VPN deals are in full swing, and there are loads of top deals
to sift through at your leisure, but which are the most exciting?

To answer this very question, I asked TechRadar's top VPN experts, Samuel Woodhams , Chiara Castro , and River Hart , for their top pick and, as TechRadar VPN Editor, it's only right I throw my hat in the ring too! Combined, we have over 15 years of experience in the VPN industry, so we know a thing or two about VPNs and how to spot a good deal.

All these deals are equivalent to under $2.50 per month, some are
all-time-low prices, some include must-have features, and others are simply too secure to miss out on for the price. Our experts' favorite Black Friday VPN deals for 2025

"I need to know the company I'm using genuinely cares about my right to privacy, and the team behind Proton has built their entire business around it with audited, open-source applications.

I need to know the company I'm using genuinely cares about my right to privacy."

For anyone relatively new to the world of VPNs, I'd recommend the Proton VPN Plus plan. It's a great starting point and offers everything you need to effectively secure your internet browsing traffic. It's also now less than $3 a month.

If you're like me and want to lock down your entire digital footprint think email, cloud, and passwords you should check out the Proton Unlimited
bundle. Its more money, but I'd say it's definitely worth it."

Proton VPN Plus: now only $2.49/month (was $3.59)

Proton's VPN plan is at its lowest price of 2025 this Black Friday. As Sam mentions, Proton is known for its privacy-centric approach, and this is exemplified in its VPN. For $2.49/month, you get:

Swiss privacy law protection
Secure Core technology
AES-256 encryption with 4096-bit RSA keys
NetShield ad, tracker, and malware protection

If you're interested, now's the time to pick up a plan. Not only is it the lowest price it's been this year but, if you don't like it, you can make use of its 30-day money-back guarantee to get your money back risk-free. View
Deal River's choice

"This means more people can check out the full spectrum of what Surfshark has to offer. There's tons included, so great value for money, and the extra
tools work really well for the holiday season, too, like the secure search that gets rid of (potentially malicious) ads.

There's tons included, so great value for money, and the extra tools work really well "

Once you add unlimited simultaneous connections to the mix, plus super-quick speeds over WireGuard and apps that pack all this into a super-minimalistic shell, the value never stops adding up, which, given it's already the best cheap VPN, is impressive!

Even if you choose to only grab a Basic plan, it's great that Alternative ID is thrown in, which gives you the ability to create secure, alternate
personas to help you securely access all the Christmas and Black Friday discounts you want that are locked behind newsletters and sign-up forms."

Surfshark One: $2.19/month (was $2.49) + 3 extra months

Surfshark One is our favorite Surfshark plan for a reason. It packs a high-speed connection, loads of server locations, and a bunch of features including:

Surfshark Antivirus
Alternative ID
Secure Search
Personal data breach alerts

All for only $2.19/month. What's more, it has a 7-day free trial you can take advantage of, or a 30-day money-back guarantee to make sure you're happy no matter what. View Deal Chiara's choice

"A tiny price, with some serious savings from its usual fees, for a service that keeps investing in making its VPN more secure and reliable.

The deal dropped about a week after Windscribe's entire VPN network got a complete overhaul that promises to make the VPN even faster than it is now
(we already got impressive peaks of 840 Mbps last time we checked).

If youre looking for privacy and security, you can be reassured that Windscribe has your back"

If youre looking for privacy and security, you can be reassured that Windscribe has your back. A strict no-log policy which Windscribes CEO is ready to fight for in Court comes alongside advanced security features, like its ROBERT DNS filter.

Plus, for folks into customization, Windscribes recent update will blow your mind away, with quirky app backgrounds, weird sounds, and more."

Windscribe: now only $29 per year (was $69)

If you're looking for a cheap way to ensure your online security, few deals are cheaper than Windscribe's this Black Friday. For less than $30 per year, you get:

Fast VPN speeds
Advanced ad and tracker blocking
Proven no-logs security

This offer has also been price-locked, meaning you can stay at this price
even after the plan ends. What's more, if you're a current Windscribe subscriber, you can cancel your current plan and resubscribe at this lower rate. View Deal Rob's choice

"The Basic plan still gives you access to more locations than any other VPN, top-notch encryption methods (including post-quantum encryption), and speeds that can comfortably handle anything. Plus, you get a basic amount of ad and malicious site blocking as standard.

Its easy to set up and forget about."

Its easy to set up and forget about. The ad-blocking is very good for this, especially when it blocked around 90% of ads we threw at it during our latest lab tests and is turned on by a single toggle. The VPN itself also gives you
a bunch of ways to auto-connect (or automatically shut off) your connection
to keep you secure.

Fancy some more features? The Advanced and Pro plans are also massively discounted, but theres not as many features as you might like there to be for the price. Thats why Im recommending Basic over anything else, super-cheap, super-secure, its as simple as that."

ExpressVPN: all-time-lowest prices from $2.44/month

ExpressVPN being this cheap wasn't on our 2025 bingo card, and the new, lower price hasn't knocked its security credentials either. For less than $70 upfront, you get:

10 simultaneous connections
Ad and malicious site blocking
AES-256 encryption with 4096-bit RSA keys

While it's not a feature-packed VPN, its new price makes ExpressVPN the cheapest post-quantum encrypted VPN available right now from among the very best VPNs, and it performs far beyond what its price would suggest too. View Deal Now it's your turn
