While Black Friday 2025 has officially passed, numerous exceptional VPN deals continue to run throughout the weekend and into Cyber Monday, offering UK consumers significant savings on digital privacy tools.
Why Invest in a VPN During Black Friday?
Although virtual private networks might not generate the same excitement as new televisions or smartphones, they represent one of the most practical Black Friday purchases available. A VPN serves as crucial protection for your online activities, preventing websites and even your internet service provider from tracking your digital footprint.
Beyond privacy benefits, these services allow users to change their virtual location, helping avoid price discrimination and access cheaper regional deals on various products and subscription services.
Standout VPN Deals Available Now
According to Alex Lee, The Independent's senior tech critic who has extensively tested major VPN providers, several standout offers deliver genuine value for money.
NordVPN currently offers one of its most competitive deals of the year, with subscriptions reduced to just £61.83 for a 27-month contract. This works out to approximately £2.29 per month, with the deal running until 10 December. NordVPN remains a top choice for its extensive features, numerous servers and impressive connection speeds.
Surfshark VPN has further reduced its already affordable pricing, slashing a 27-month subscription to £40.23 – just £1.49 per month. This represents even better value than last year's Black Friday offer and includes useful features like cookie pop-up blockers and double VPN routing.
ExpressVPN provides savings of up to 75 percent on subscriptions, with its middle 'advanced' tier costing £3.49 instead of £10.99 monthly for 28 months, plus four additional months free. The service stands out for its user-friendly interface and intuitive operation.
