The best VPN deals you can grab right now

Proton VPN Plus: Proton VPN, the best all-around VPN service, has a solid free plan without any data limits. But it doesn't let you choose your own server location. To get the full benefit of this excellent VPN, you'll need a Plus subscription — which is fortunately affordable thanks to this deal.

Proton Unlimited: While Plus gets you the full Proton VPN service, Unlimited rolls in several of Proton's other well-regarded privacy apps. They're mostly clones of popular Google and Microsoft apps with stronger end-to-end encryption; even if you just want two of them, this deal will save you money.

ExpressVPN Basic: Since switching to multi-tiered subscriptions, ExpressVPN has gotten a lot more affordable. This Basic deal includes the whole VPN for all platforms, featuring user-friendly apps, fast speeds and over 200 server locations. It also comes with ExpressMailGuard, a safe way to give your email address to sites you aren't sure about.

ExpressVPN Advanced: The next level of ExpressVPN, which isn't that much more expensive, gets you a lot more. This tier adds a built-in tracker blocker, the ExpressKeys password manager, Identity Defender features that watch for leaks of your personal data and three days of eSim through holiday.com.

ExpressVPN Pro: If you want to hit the top of the ExpressVPN ladder, grab this discounted Pro subscription, which mainly gets you access to ExpressAI. This fully private AI chatbot keeps your queries and answers siloed off and doesn't use them to train its model. A Pro subscription also lets you watch for more pieces of information with Identity Defender.

Surfshark Starter: Surfshark Starter is currently the cheapest monthly deal of any VPN, though it's only good for the first period of 27 months. For somewhere around $2 per month, you'll get Surfshark for unlimited devices, the brand-new Dausos protocol and Alternative ID features that generate fake identities for registering online accounts.

Surfshark One: For a very slight price hike — currently about 40 cents per month — Surfshark One grants you a ton of additional content. Highlights include Surfshark Antivirus, the Surfshark Alert data breach monitor and the private, no-logging Surfshark Search.

Surfshark One+: The highest level of Surfshark carries over all the previous perks and adds a full suite of identity protection, including reimbursement for recovery costs, a licensed investigator and even mental health services. It also includes Incogni data removal, which crawls the internet to scrub your details from data brokerage sites.

NordVPN Basic: NordVPN outdoes the competition with four different tiers, but that doesn't mean Basic sacrifices anything. This deal gets you the entire VPN service, including specialty servers for Tor and torrenting — plus the groundbreaking Meshnet feature that turns your own devices into VPN locations.

NordVPN Plus: NordVPN Plus builds on the already generous Basic tier with extra malware protections, a more capable ad and tracker blocker and the NordPass password manager. Be warned that all NordVPN plans renew at a much more expensive price, but this deal is amazing while it lasts.

NordVPN Complete: The next level of NordVPN adds a host of features aimed at countering scams, great for bolstering your overall cybersecurity. These include a feature that detects scam calls on your phone, stronger dark web and data breach monitors and a terabyte of end-to-end encrypted cloud storage from NordLocker.

NordVPN Prime: Scaling the mountain of NordVPN rewards you with this top-tier service, which includes enough features to vastly improve your online security even if you don't pay for anything else. In addition to malware blockers, password managers and scam alerts, NordVPN Prime includes $1 million in identity theft insurance, $100,000 in ransomware insurance and even monthly credit monitoring.

This VPN only has one subscription tier, but it's a good one. CyberGhost comes with a sprawling server network that includes several servers targeted at specific international streaming services — so if you've been looking to check out a local favorite, this is the choice for you. It also comes with Smart Rules automation for a totally hands-off VPN experience.
