And in a flash, it's over - Cyber Monday has been and gone. However, we're seeing a ton of deals still stay active, and from experience, we may well see some of these deals last until the end of December.

However, if you're in need of the best VPN right now, we wouldn't hesitate as they're liable to change at a moment's notice.

Topping our list of VPN deals on offer is PureVPN's unbelievable $1.13 per month five-year deal (opens in new tab) (with code TECH15). It's the cheapest VPN that we would recommend, and if you're looking to spend as little as possible, it's well worth considering.

However, our top-rated provider ExpressVPN's modest but welcome three months free offer (opens in new tab) gives a decent saving on the best service.

Whatever your budget or use case, there should be something here that fits the bill – and we'll be keeping this page bang up to date with the top deals as Cyber Monday progresses.

VPN Cyber Monday deals FAQ

What makes a good VPN Cyber Monday deal?

As you'd expect, the best of the best are priced accordingly – for example, the unrivalled ExpressVPN is a little more expensive than others at $6.67 a month (opens in new tab).

However, if you're willing to settle for a less powerful but still perfectly usable VPN, you can save a lot. It's also worth considering how long you want to commit for.

If you fancy getting a whole five years of cover, PureVPN's deal is unbeatable. At just $1.19 a month (opens in new tab) (with code tech10), it's incredible value, and well worth checking out.

Why do you need a VPN?

In short, a VPN is a tool that can help you maintain anonymity online. It reroutes your traffic away from your Internet Service Provider's (ISP) servers and through its own private, encrypted servers. This means your ISP can't track what you're doing online. 

Also, each time you connect, your IP address changes. This makes it much harder for sites to track and locate you, meaning it's less likely for a detailed profile of your activity to build up. These are often sold to advertisers and marketers to show you 'relevant' products.

One of the most popular VPN uses is for unblocking streaming sites. Netflix, for example, shows different content to people in different countries. By connecting to a UK VPN server, for example, you can watch UK-exclusive titles from anywhere in the world.

Should I buy now?

If you've waited this long to bag yourself the very best Cyber Monday deal, we'd say that the time is right to pull the trigger. While some deals may extend into December, some providers cut their offers off as soon as possible. 

What should your VPN be able to do?

For the full gamut of VPN features, we highly recommend going for one of our top providers mentioned in our best VPNs guide. They'll keep you private, unblock streaming services, and also keep your Internet connections lightning fast.

If you're looking for secure cloud storage, going with a provider like IPVanish or StrongVPN is a good idea. They're not great streaming VPNs, but they're secure, and also give you access to SugarSync for a cheaper price than SugarSync alone.
