Best Black Friday VPN Deals 2026

NordVPN

NordVPN is the one I pay for, on the Basic plan, across my desktop and phone. The sale runs from October 21 to December 9 with no code, and the week to buy is November 24 to December 1. My NordVPN Black Friday page has every plan.

• Basic: $3.49/mo for 27 months ($94.23), then $139.08 a year
• November 24 to December 1: Basic drops to $2.99/mo on the 2-year plan
• Complete: about $3.99/mo for 27 months in the US, then $219.48 a year
• Devices and refund: 10 devices, 30 days
• Audit: its sixth no-logs audit, by Deloitte, published in February 2026

Waiting saves $13.50 on Basic if that week keeps the 27-month term, so you should check the term at checkout. I’d also turn off auto-renewal the same day, since the renewal costs more than the whole first term. If you want a password manager too, my password manager Black Friday page covers NordPass.

Surfshark

Surfshark is my pick if you have a lot of devices, because it has no device limit. The sale has been live since about October 15, and my Surfshark Black Friday page has the plan details.

• Starter: $2.49/mo for 27 months ($67.23), then $79 a year
• One: $2.49/mo for 27 months ($67.23), then $99 a year
• One+: $3.99/mo for 27 months ($107.73), then $119 a year
• Audit: Deloitte, published in June 2025

Starter went up by 50 cents a month from last year’s $1.99, the biggest jump among the sales running now. It’s still fair for what you get, and Surfshark shares a holding company with NordVPN, so this isn’t as independent a choice as it looks.

Proton VPN

Proton VPN is my pick for privacy. It’s based in Switzerland, has the most recent no-logs audit here and is the one big name that matched last year’s price. My Proton Black Friday page covers the bundles.

• Plus, 24 months: $2.49/mo ($59.76) on partner links, then $83.88 a year
• Plus on Proton’s own page: $3.49/mo ($83.76) with only a countdown showing today
• Plus, 12 months: $3.99/mo ($47.88) on partner links
• Audit: its fifth yearly no-logs audit, by Securitum, in May 2026
• Last year: a flash sale at 80% off ran on December 2 and 3

Check that the price you see at checkout is $2.49 before you pay. If it isn’t, the Proton VPN Black Friday sale should open soon on Proton’s own page, since last year’s went live by November 3.

ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN is the one I’d wait on. Deal sites call $2.99 an ExpressVPN Black Friday price, but its own page says to stay tuned, and last year’s sale went lower.

• Basic: $2.99/mo for 28 months ($83.72), then $99.95 a year, 10 devices
• Advanced: $4.49/mo for 28 months ($125.72), then $119.95 a year, 12 devices
• Last Black Friday: 30% off regular prices, Basic at $2.44/mo ($68.40)
• Audit: KPMG, published in June 2025

A repeat of last year would save about $15 on Basic. That’s a small amount, so I wouldn’t go without a VPN for it if you need one this week.

Private Internet Access

Private Internet Access, or PIA, costs the least over 3 years among the VPNs here with a recent audit. Its current banner still says Halloween, but last year’s Black Friday price was the same $2.03, so I don’t see a reason to wait.

• 3 years + 3 months: $2.03/mo for 39 months (about $79), then $79 every 3 years
• 1 year: $3.99/mo ($47.88), then the same price
• Devices and refund: unlimited devices, 30 days for new subscribers
• Audit: Deloitte, published in February 2026

That renewal is what makes PIA stand out, because it doesn’t jump after the first term. It’s based in the US, and some privacy buyers skip US companies for that reason.

PureVPN

PureVPN has the lowest monthly price among the subscriptions here, but you have to pay for 5 years to get it. I wouldn’t prepay that long with a VPN whose latest audit date is hard to pin down.

• Standard, 5 years: $1.69/mo ($101.55)
• Standard, 27 months: $2.15/mo ($58.20), then $47.95 a year
• Last Black Friday: $1.49/mo for 5 years, plus 3 extra months
• Devices and refund: 10 devices, 31 days

If you want PureVPN, the 27-month plan is the safer way in, and it comes to $106.15 over 36 months. That’s about the same cash as the 5-year plan, with far less locked in.

IPVanish

IPVanish matches last year’s price, and it also has no device limit. Its offer launched on October 15, but the price mostly restores what it charged before October, and the “Offer Ends” timer on the page counts to the next midnight.

• Essential: $2.19/mo for 24 months ($52.56), then $99.99 a year
• Complete: $2.79/mo for 24 months ($66.96), then $109.99 a year
• Advanced: $3.29/mo for 24 months ($78.96), then $129.99 a year
• Audit: Schellman, announced in April 2025

CyberGhost

CyberGhost’s $2.19 looks like a Black Friday deal on most roundups, but it’s close to its normal price. Last year the same $56.94 bought you 28 months, and today it buys 26.

• 2 years + 2 months: $2.19/mo ($56.94)
• Devices and refund: 7 devices, 45 days
• Audit: Deloitte, covering its setup as of October 2025

That 45-day refund is the longest here. I’d wait to see whether a real sale appears before buying this one.

FastestVPN

FastestVPN is the only one here that’s cheaper than last year, and it’s the only one with no renewal at all. Code BFCM26 takes the lifetime plan to $25, against $40 without it, according to its partner email.

• Lifetime: $25 once with BFCM26, 10 devices
• Bundle: includes its Family Password Manager, and last year’s bundle limited that to 2 years
• Audit: Altius IT in 2023
• Company: Cayman Islands, with no public owner

I’d treat it as a cheap backup VPN. A lifetime plan is only as good as the company behind it, and VPNSecure’s lifetime customers found that out in 2025.
