2 years for less than $50 – our exclusive Surfshark VPN deal is the cheapest we've seen this year

It seems like deals on the best VPNs are dropping thick and fast as we head into summer. The latest comes from Surfshark, and it's an exclusive offer for readers of Tom's Guide, and our friends at TechRadar.

It's live right now, and it's one of the best VPN deals we've seen for a long time. For a limited time, Tom's Guide and TechRadar readers can grab Surfshark's 24-month plan for just $1.88 per month, with 4 extra months thrown in for free.

You won't find this rate on Surfshark's own site, and it won't be around for long. The deal runs until April 19, so if Surfshark has been on your shortlist, now's the perfect time to give it a go. More details below.

The deals at a glance

How does Surfshark compare to other VPNs?

At $1.89 per month, this exclusive deal undercuts most of the competition outright. NordVPN and ExpressVPN both sit higher on our best VPN list, but neither comes close to this price and neither offers unlimited device connections at any tier. PrivadoVPN is cheaper on some long-term plans, but its feature set doesn't match Surfshark's at this price point.

Surfshark clocked in at 1,021 Mbps in our testing, which puts it well ahead of most rivals. It's not the very fastest VPN we've tested – Proton VPN comes out on top here – and NordVPN marginally outdoes it when it comes to the best streaming VPNs.

However, for everyday privacy, secure browsing, and sheer value, this exclusive deal is difficult to beat. If you've been sitting on the fence about a VPN, $1.89 per month with four months free is a hard offer to ignore.
