Cyber Monday is here, and many of the best VPNs are included in this year's great deals. For the best Cyber Monday VPN deal, look no further than Surfshark. It's the best deal out there this weekend, its number two in our overall rankings, and if you're looking for a brilliant VPN at an equally brilliant price, this is the deal to go for.

Surfshark's 2-year plan now works out at just $1.99 per month (equating to approximately $55 up front) and also includes an additional 4 months of protection for free. This is the cheapest deal you're going to get from a top-tier VPN provider this Cyber Monday.

The offer is live now and runs until at least the end of today. However, after that we don't know how long it'll stick around.

Save 87%: Surfshark is an unbelievable deal if you're on a budget. Plans start at $1.99 per month ($55 up front, with an additional 4 months free) and you receive a great selection of features. It offers unlimited device connections, excellent speeds, and it's super easy to use. You can even claim a refund within 30 days if it's not for you.

Save 81%: Surfshark One+ offers all the features of cheaper Surfshark plans with the added inclusion of data removal service Incogni. This scans the internet for your data and submits removal requests on your behalf, so you can rest assured your personal information isn't falling into the wrong hands. Until December 2, taking out a Surfshark One+ subscription will grant you an extra 6 months protection for free. As with all Surfshark plans, there's a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Why this is a great deal

Surfshark is one of the top-rated VPNs, currently sitting at number two in our overall VPN rankings, and is the best cheap VPN out there.

It may be the cheapest, but that doesn't mean it lacks features. Surfshark is the fastest VPN we've tested, with speeds of over 950 Mbps, and it's also one of the best streaming VPNs, unblocking everything we threw at it in our review.

Device protection certainly isn't an issue with Surfshark as it offers protection for an unlimited number of devices, meaning you can secure all devices in your home under one plan.

When it comes to location, Surfshark boasts over 3,000 servers in over 100 countries, so you'll more than likely be covered in any location you need.

There are a host of other features as well, such as Alternative ID and Alternative Number. Competitor NordVPN does offer some more features, including Threat Protection Pro, a built-in malware and phishing blocking tool. This is a better tool than Surfshark's malware and phishing protection, CleanWeb, which performed poorly in our testing.

If you're looking for something even cheaper, PrivadoVPN is a worthy contender that's great for streaming and is safe to use. Prices start at $1.11 per month – but it doesn't come with the host of extras Surfshark does.

Overall, Surfshark's downsides are minimal and for $1.99 per month, nothing beats it. If you're on a budget but still looking for a super-fast, easy to use, secure VPN, then it's an excellent choice.
