Picked up a smart TV in the Black Friday sales? These are the Black Friday VPN deals to pair it with
We’re fast approaching the tail-end of another Black Friday here in the UK, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t still major savings to be had. This is especially true for savvy shoppers who recently picked up a new TV and want to pair it with a trustworthy VPN.
Today’s best VPNs have unveiled a bumper crop of Black Friday VPN deals, and we’ve highlighted three of the best streaming-friendly picks. Not only does a VPN ensure that your new device is more secure, thanks to encryption, but a VPN’s geo-spoofing power means that you can tune in to content from anywhere, without worrying about geo-restrictions.
Given that some of the discounts are time-limited, you’ll want to act quickly to claim them before they go back into hibernation for another year.

Why does your smart TV need a VPN?
Your new smart TV will work just fine without a VPN, but after making the investment, we think it's worth enhancing it with a VPN..
The benefits of a smart TV VPN fall into two categories: security and unblocking power.
Security is a VPN's main priority. When a device, like a smart TV, is connected to a VPN server, any traffic leaving that device is encrypted as it passes through the server and on to its final destination. This makes it way harder for third parties (like your ISP) to keep tabs on your browsing, and means that you don't have to worry about leaving an identifiable trail across the internet whenever you watch TV.
In most cases, you can download the VPN app of your choice directly from the relevant app store or the provider's page. NordVPN, Surfshark, and Proton VPN are all compatible with Android TV, Google TV, and Apple TV. Then, log in with your credentials as usual, and enjoy!
Of course, these benefits will have more of an impact on your laptop, PC, tablet, and mobile phone - especially if you regularly rely on public Wi-Fi hotspots that can be hotbeds of cybercriminal activity (especially around the scam-filled Black Friday sales season).
Then, there's the unblocking aspect. All of the VPNs we've highlighted have servers dotted around the globe. Connect to one of them, and the VPN will assign your device a new IP address based in that same country, so all the sites and streaming platforms you visit will think you're there, physically.
That means you can have your pick of content from around the world. If you've travelled a long way to be with family over the holidays, a VPN will let you tune in to your favorite shows from back home, and watch live sporting events that aren't broadcast in your current region.
