Am I seeing this right? Do I need to get new glasses? I was adamant that PrivadoVPN's $1.11 per month offer was a mistake – but this Cyber Monday VPN deal is the genuine article.

PrivadoVPN is one of the best VPNs out there, boasting quick speeds, and is a powerful player in the unblocking scene. Its free version, PrivadoVPN Free, is our choice for the best free VPN, so if money saving is your goal – get involved with PrivadoVPN.

PrivadoVPN isn't complicating things this Cyber Monday. Two plans, both ridiculously cheap. The 2-year plan is $1.11 per month ($30 upfront), whilst the 1-year plan is a very decent $1.33 per month ($20 upfront).

If this weekend of deals has been a bit hard on your wallet, and you're looking for some cheaper products to round off your Cyber Monday, then PrivadoVPN could be a great option. A 30-day money-back guarantee is included with both deals, plus for an additional $1.99 per month, you can top up your online security with antivirus protection.

Save 90%: PrivadoVPN is solid, dependable, and ridiculously cheap. It's quick, and great at unblocking your favourite streaming sites. It boasts rock-solid privacy, and has a top-tier free plan as well. The 2-year plan is $1.11 per month ($30 up front), and if you're still not sure if it's for you, there's a 30-day money-back guarantee.

What features do I get?

Lets start with streaming. PrivadoVPN is a big player in this arena, one of the best streaming VPNs, and is especially suited to unblocking. If you love streaming, and want to unblock all your favorite sites, such as Netflix, Disney+, or BBC iPlayer, then PrivadoVPN will have no problem here.

Based in Switzerland, PrivadoVPN has the law on its side, and benefits from some of the world's best privacy legislation. It runs AES-256 encryption, so your personal information will be protected from prying eyes. Like many of the top VPNs, PrivadoVPN boasts a no-logs policy – however, this hasn't been proven by an independent audit, so you're going to have to take Privado's word for it.

PrivadoVPN is one of the fastest VPNs, hitting speeds of 900 Mbps in our testing. Whether you're using the paid or free version, you'll have no issues browsing or streaming with PrivadoVPN.

In terms of server size, PrivadoVPN certainly doesn't excel, with around 200 servers in 44 countries. Although it isn't the best out there, it covers all the major regions, so you'll likely be able to find a server you're looking for.

There's no split tunneling with PrivadoVPN, but there is a kill switch, support for all major platforms, and protection for up to 10 devices simultaneously.

Its free plan is where PrivadoVPN really stands out. It's our number one free VPN and is faster than many of the paid VPNs. The 10 GB data limit should be more than enough for daily use, but may run out quickly if you're constantly streaming.

Privado's apps are simple, and easy to use, so if you're a VPN beginner, you'll have no problems using PrivadoVPN.

The quick verdict

PrivadoVPN really is making me question my sanity. $1.11 per month is ridiculously cheap for one of the fastest VPNs, a great unblocker, and top-tier privacy. Whether its the free plan or paid, if you're looking to make your money go as far as possible, then PrivadoVPN could be the one for you.
