In addition to all of the gadgets and gear you can find on sale during Black Friday, there are also a number of service and subscription deals you can get, too. VPNs are included in this, and there’s a good deal on one of our favorites right now. ExpressVPN’s Black Friday deal gives US-based customers up to 61 percent off various plans.
The one-year plan, which includes four extra months, costs $6.25 per month, billed at a total of $100, and the 2-year plan (actually 30 months in total) costs just $4.99 per month, billed at a total of $150. Those are much better rates than the $12.95-per-month rate you’d pay regularly.
Engadget deemed ExpressVPN the best for streaming services, frequent travel and gaming. Its biggest drawback is generally considered to be the price — higher than most rivals in the space — so this is a great time to get it at a discount. (There’s a 7-day trial period and a 30-day money back guarantee, so you can make sure it meets your needs before committing.)
Since we conducted our review, ExpressVPN has added some additional features making it more of a full-service suite, including a password manager and ad blocker. More recently, it’s added ID alerts (with a $1 million identity theft insurance package), as well as a data removal service (to counteract the preponderance of online data brokers).
Some notable caveats: The data removal service is only available on the 30-month plan, and the ID alerts, insurance and data removal features are only applicable to subscribers in the US. Furthermore, these discounts are applicable only to new ExpressVPN customers. And the service will automatically renew at the standard rate after the initial discount period expires.
It goes without saying that ExpressVPN is compatible with nearly all major operating systems, with support for connecting 8 devices at a time. And its no-logs policy means your online activity is as anonymous as can be. If you’re looking for a dependable VPN that now has a bevy of additional privacy features, ExpressVPN is worth checking out. But don’t delay: This offer is only good through December 6.
