Private Internet Access (PIA) is already one of the most affordable VPNs around, but it has just gotten ahead of the Black Friday rush and sweetened the deal. We rate PIA as one of the best VPNs available, and it’s a great option for power users, so the Black Friday sales season is the ideal time to get even more for your money.
You can get PIA on a 2-year plan for $2.03 per month, including four months extra added free (costing $48.72 up front, pre-tax) with its Black Friday VPN deal. This makes for an impressive 83% saving on PIA’s standard monthly rates. Unlike most leading providers, it also offers unlimited simultaneous connections, offering even more value for money and ensuring that all your devices are protected.
PIA is perfect for experts
Based on our testing, PIA is a strong pick for more technical users looking for granular control over their connection. The product has great support for Linux, with a full desktop app as well as command line access, and it comes with a wide range of configuration options for DNS settings, network settings, and the VPN protocol.
In terms of security, PIA has an audited no-logs policy and frequent transparency reports, and its apps are open source, meaning that they’re open to scrutiny from the community. In addition, there’s a combined obfuscation and multi-hop feature, routing your data through multiple VPN servers, making it very hard for third parties to track you.
Users interested in torrenting will also appreciate the fact that P2P connections are supported on all servers and that PIA includes port forwarding functionality, which is increasingly rare among VPN providers. You can also get a full antivirus product as an add-on for as little as $1 per month with longer-term plans. For more details on the provider, read our full Private Internet Access review.
PIA isn’t alone in offering Black Friday deals, however, and other leading providers have their own offers. You can currently get NordVPN on offer at a 74% discount, and there’s an excellent Surfshark One deal that offers the excellent mid-tier package, including an antivirus and additional privacy tools, for just $2.19 per month.
We test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example: 1. Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service). 2. Protecting your online security and strengthening your online privacy when abroad. We do not support or condone the illegal or malicious use of VPN services. Consuming pirated content that is paid-for is neither endorsed nor approved by Future Publishing.
