The best VPN providers are in stiff competition with each other, and with so many quality options on the table, offering a bargain VPN deal is a sure-fire way to stand out from the crowd. Here, we've rounded up all the top VPN deals on offer today so you can make your cash go further.
As usual, Surfshark is still one of the best-value options available, with two years of cover on offer for just $2.49 a month.
However, our freshest deal is from StrongVPN, which has recently dropped its price to just $2.66 a month on a one-year plan. That requires a much shorter commitment than Surfshark, and in our recent review we saw big improvements in the service it provides.
Hotspot Shield has also dropped its price on the three-year plan to just $2.49 a month. That's down from $2.99 and now matches Surfshark's deal – plus, it's only available to Tom's Guide readers, so make note that you can only get the best price on Hotspot Shield right here.
Finally, top-rated service ExpressVPN – well-known for never running any kind of VPN deals at all – has partnered with leading cloud backup provider Backblaze to offer a year free to new subscribers. This deal is also exclusive to Tom's Guide and can also be redeemed alongside the regular three months free deal usually offered.
So, whether you're using a VPN to maintain your online privacy, as an added means of security for work, or simply unblocking US Netflix when you're abroad, here we'll round up the very best VPN deals you can get right now to help you make the most of your money.

VPN deals – how to pick the right one
Short for virtual private network, a VPN is an app that masks your location, identity, and IP address while surfing the Internet. Although VPN deals vary wildly, practically every provider offers VPN deals that help lower the price of a VPN subscription.
There are dozens of VPN deals to pick from on any given day, but if you're unsure which one is right for you, the best thing to do is find out what you want your VPN for. Then, pick the VPN service that best fulfils that need.
If you want basic protection while online, our list of the best cheap VPN services should help. Likewise, if you want a client to get access to Netflix content from around the world, our guide to the best Netflix VPN should do the trick.
When shopping for VPN deals, remember that the savings are typically greater when you sign up for a year or more of service. Also, remember to verify how many devices your subscription covers. Some VPN deals will let you protect five or even more devices, so it's worth making sure to choose a provider that delivers the amount you need.
