NordVPN just launched its Black Friday deal this morning on November 20th and matches Amazon’s Black Friday kickoff with aggressive pricing of its own: The NordVPN Basic plan dropped to a record low of $2.99 per month when you commit to 27 months, which works out to $80.73 total instead of the usual $312.93.
VPN services protect your internet privacy, encrypt your connection and let you access content that’s geographically restricted, but most people skip them because monthly costs add up quickly. This Black Friday pricing makes premium VPN protection cost less than a fancy coffee each month, and you get three extra months thrown in on top of the two-year commitment.
What NordVPN Does for Your Daily Internet Use
NordVPN encrypts all the data that travels between your device and the internet which prevents your internet service provider, government agencies, or hackers on public Wi-Fi from seeing what you are doing online. Normally, your ISP tracks every website you visit and can sell that data to advertisers or hand it over to authorities without your knowledge. The encryption forms a security tunnel that scrambles your traffic into unreadable code and anyone intercepting it sees only gibberish instead of your passwords, bank details, or browsing history.
The service works by masking your actual IP address and routing your connection through NordVPN’s servers in the country of your choice. Websites and online services will see the VPN server’s IP address instead of your own, effectively blocking them from tracking your physical location or compiling deeply detailed profiles of what you do online. Based on where you choose, you could appear to browse from within the UK, Japan or anywhere else NordVPN has servers.
NordVPN currently operates more than 6,000 servers across 111 countries which builds the required structure for fast and reliable connections, no matter where you are located or through which region you connect. The distributed server network allows one to always find a nearby server that will impact your speed very little, or connect to distant servers when you need to access specific regional content. Based in Panama, this country has no obligatory data retention laws: It’s also outside of international agreements, including Five Eyes surveillance. In this context, NordVPN can follow its strict no-logs policy without any government pressure to capture user data.
For $2.99 per month, the Basic plan will get you the core VPN functionality: secure, fast connections, and the ability to use the service on up to 10 devices simultaneously. Protect your laptop, phone, and tablet, or configure your router to lock down every device on your home network with a single VPN connection. The 30-day money-back guarantee lets you try out the service completely risk-free, and you’ll receive a full refund if it doesn’t meet your needs. You’ll save 74% compared to paying month-to-month, and the total cost for 27 months plus those three bonus months drops to just $80.73.
NordVPN Plus plan jumps to $3.89 per month and adds anti-malware protection, ad blocking, tracker blocking and a password manager with breach scanner. Complete at $4.89 monthly includes everything in Plus plan plus scam call protection and 1TB of encrypted cloud storage. Prime plan at $6.89 monthly adds NordProtect identity protection with cyber crime monitoring and insurance coverage.
