Black Friday is the best time to pick up a VPN. There are always great discounts, and VPN providers drop their prices to the lowest seen all year. We're still a few weeks away from Black Friday 2025, but NordVPN – the provider we rate as the best VPN overall – has launched its Black Friday VPN deal early.
NordVPN balances superb speed and performance, great features, and class-leading privacy – it'll suit most VPN users. You can read our NordVPN review to dive into the details of why we rate it so highly.
Until December 10, 2025, you can save yourself 74% and grab a two-year deal for $2.99 per month ($80.73 up front pre-tax). NordVPN is also throwing in an extra three months of protection for free.
This isn't quite the lowest price I've seen NordVPN this year – a Tom's Guide's exclusive deal saw a 28 month plan cost $2.91 per month back in the summer. However, I think $2.99 per month is the cheapest we'll see the provider for a while. The lowest price NordVPN has ever been was $2.49 per month back in November 2022, but I'd be shocked if we ever see the provider that cheap again.
If you were already eyeing up a Black Friday purchase, you can beat the rush and secure your data with our top-rated VPN for under $3 a month.
Four plans are on sale
NordVPN's Black Friday deals at a glance:
- NordVPN Basic: $2.99 per month ($80.73 up front) + 3 months FREE
- NordVPN Plus: $3.89 per month ($105.03 up front) + 3 months FREE
- NordVPN Complete: $4.89 per month ($132.03 up front) + 3 months FREE
- NordVPN Prime: $6.89 per month ($186.03 up front) + 3 months FREE
NordVPN Basic, the provider's entry-level plan, works out at $2.99 per month. At just over $80 up front pre-tax for 27 months of cover, this is a great price for NordVPN. You'll receive one of the fastest VPNs out there, with speeds of 901 Mbps recorded in our latest round of testing, and access to over 8,000 servers worldwide. Thanks to its powerful unblocked capabilities, NordVPN is also one of the best streaming VPNs.
With post-quantum encryption across the board, NordVPN offers class-leading privacy and has a verified no-logs policy. You can be sure your data is private and secure with NordVPN.
There are some useful extra features such as Double VPN, where your VPN traffic is routed through two servers rather than one, the obfuscated NordWhisper protocol, and the recently saved Meshnet.
It's worth noting that VPN beginners may be more suited to ExpressVPN – its UI and app design is far simpler and easier-to-use than NordVPN's. NordVPN certainly isn't complicated, but its home screen is a little crowded and requires more clicks to connect.
Three higher tiers are also available, and each adds more extra features. NordVPN Plus costs $3.89 per month and adds the highly-rated Threat Protection Pro – which protects you from ads, trackers, and malware. You'll also get NordPass, one of the best password managers.
If you're willing to spend less than $1 per month more, NordVPN Plus is a huge upgrade on NordVPN Basic and well worth it.
NordVPN Complete throws in 1 TB of encrypted cloud storage but costs $1 a month more than NordVPN Plus, coming in at $4.89 per month. This is a fairly significant price increase for one additional feature, but it's worth it if you're specifically after cloud storage.
If you're looking for total cybersecurity protection, NordVPN Prime is the provider's most premium plan, costing $6.89 per month. It includes everything the previous plans do but adds NordProtect, its own identity protection feature.
This is only available to US customers but offers up to $1 million in identity theft insurance, credit monitoring, and up to $100k in cyber extortion insurance.
NordVPN Prime isn't the right choice for most people, but if you're in the market for a cybersecurity suite, it's a very decent price.
All NordVPN plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee so you can try it out risk free.
If you're on more of a strict budget and feel $2.99 per month is a bit expensive, other providers are available. We rate Surfshark as the best cheap VPN, and it starts out at $1.99 per month. Our information indicates this will also be Surfshark's cheapest Black Friday price.
