ProtonVPN is running a Black Friday Sale on its VPN services, including a 30-month plan for 60 percent off, or $120 total. That works out to $4 per month for two and a half years of access, saving you $180 over paying full price. Proton VPN is our favorite VPN service and, unlike most VPN services that continually run promotions, Proton rarely hosts sales. Their email and other services are seeing discounts, too.
Our top recommendation for a VPN service doesn’t go on sale often, so this 60% off promotion is notable.
In our tests, ProtonVPN passed with high marks — but so did most of the other services. What sets ProtonVPN apart is its overall security and privacy safeguards. The Swiss-based company employs an independently audited no-logs policy and has proven they don’t comply with law enforcement requests to reveal data. It’s also based on an open-source code and discloses potential vulnerabilities through an official peer-review program. Plus, we found it easy to use.
While there is a free version, the Plus plan that’s on sale grants access to more servers, with locations in more than 65 countries and lets you run the service on 10 devices at a time. Compare that to the free version which only has servers in three countries and protects just one device at a time.
It’s worth noting that Proton’s Black Friday sale extends to all of its services, including Proton Mail, which we’ve recommended in our guides, and Proton Unlimited, which gives you access to VPN, Mail, Calendar, Drive and Pass, the company’s password manager. The everything plan is down to $105 for the year, which works out to just under $9 per month.
