I'll break down the latest bargains available right now, so you don't miss out on any big savings.
The best Black Friday and Cyber Monday VPN deals
1. NordVPN: 69% off + 3 months free and a free Amazon gift card
The biggest VPN name out there has just thrown an exclusive Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal for TechRadar readers only. Pick one of its 2-year plans to enjoy a huge 69% off, 3 months of free protection, and a free Amazon gift card of up to $30/£30/30€. Starting from as little as $2.99 per month, that's the best deal NordVPN had all year.
You'll be covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try before you buy completely risk-free. You can then see for yourself why it's the top-rated Netflix VPN right now. Harry up, the offer ends on November 29.

2. Surfshark: 80% off and up to 5 months free
Already rated as the best cheap VPN on the market, the provider hasn't missed the chance to give away even more value for money this Black Friday/Cyber Monday season. With an 80% savings, you can either decide to get its basic package at $1.99 per month or upgrade to its full security suite for the equivalent of just $3.99 per month. To this bargain price, the provider will also add up to 5 months of free protection on top.
Again, you can try it out for 30 days risk-free, but I'm sure you'll be impressed by its amazing array of features and speedy connections. Surfshark gives you more time to decide, too, as its offer ends on December 4.

3. Private Internet Access: 86% off + 4 months free
Private Internet Access (PIA) offers an enormous server network along with an immense array of configurable tools, making it in fourth place on TechRadar's overall VPN ranking list. With a staggering 86% savings and 4 extra months on top, you can enjoy all PIA's perks for just the equivalent of a tiny $2.03 per month.
I especially recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable torrenting VPN or a dedicated Linux app. See for yourself with a 30-day money-back guarantee as the offer ends on December 7.

4. IPVanish: 81% saving + 3 months free
Another excellent choice, also IPVanish is offering some pretty amazing savings this Cyber Monday. If you subscribe to its 2-year plan, you will enjoy an 81% discount and 3 months of free protection for the equivalent of $2.49 per month.
IPVanish is an up-and-coming service with impressive speeds and decent unblocking capabilities, gaining a fifth position in the overall VPN ranking right after PIA. It isn't always regarded as the cheapest out there, so hurry up before the deal is over.

5. ExpressVPN: 49% off + 3 months free
Last but not least, we have our top-rated service ExpressVPN. That's true, the provider hasn't dropped its prices for Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Yet, TechRadar readers can enjoy an exclusive discount nonetheless. Follow the link on this page for getting a 49% off and 3 months free on top, for about $6.67 per month.
Despite being way more expensive than its competitors above, it comes with a built-in password manager and ad-blocker at no extra cost. The offer even includes a year of unlimited cloud backup for free, too. Try it out with its 30-day money-back guarantee—we are sure you'll not look back.

How to choose best Cyber Monday VPN deals
There's a lot to consider when it comes to choosing the best Cyber Monday VPN deal, and the ones above are the ones absolutely worth buying right now.
As a rule of thumb, price isn't everything—even on a special day like today. That's the reason I decided to add ExpressVPN's offer in my roundup of the best deals out there, despite the price being way higher than competitors.
ExpressVPN is the service which all here at TechRadar use everyday both at work and in our free time, and we can honestly recommend it for its smooth user experience and stable connections.
If you're after a reliable streaming VPN (and some extra savings, too), I recommend going for NordVPN—its unblocking powers are absolutely faultless. A keen gamer? Surfshark, NordVPN and IPVanish were the fastest VPNs out there last time we checked.
PIA is then the service I would suggest buying if you are a more experienced user who's after a truly customizable experience.

Why do I need a VPN?
A VPN has become an essential tool for every kind of internet user. It's, in fact, way more than just about hiding yourself from snooping internet providers, but rather for better everyday online experiences overall.
Let's say you connect to the public WiFi in your local cafe. You're browsing the internet, maybe you're doing some online banking or buying something in the Cyber Monday sales. That's all fine, except you're not the only person seeing your information. Without a VPN, your internet traffic is open and accessible, and can easily be acquired by hackers. With a VPN, your data is encrypted, so even if you've connected to that fake WiFi hotspot, the hacker will have no clue what's going on in your data packets. It keeps you safe online while protecting your privacy and anonymity at the same time.
A VPN is also the software you need to access your usual streaming catalog when traveling abroad, or bypass any other type of geo-restrictions applied on online content across the world. It can also make your torrenting activities safer, and your gaming experience more stable.
