Get NordVPN free for three months with this early Black Friday deal

The holiday season is fast approaching, and with it, popular sales events. While Black Friday — once a single day for sales on tech, clothing, home appliances, and more — is now a longer affair set to launch on Nov. 29, retailers have already begun releasing interesting deals on tech, and this includes VPN subscription deals.

Many VPN providers change their pricing frequently, so when we find a worthwhile deal, it usually will offer new customers free months added to the length of their contract. We’ve found such a deal at NordVPN, which is now available for only $3.59/month on a two-year plan, with three months of free access added to the length of the contract.

A virtual private network (VPN) is an invaluable tool for improving your online privacy and security. VPNs use encryption to protect your web requests and communication from eavesdropping, and they route your traffic through a network of servers to hide your IP address. 

Review: NordVPN review: Consistent speed and performance from one of our favorite VPNs

NordVPN is one of our favorite VPNs we’ve tested, and consistently ranks as one of the top choices for streaming, travel, and Windows and MacOS operating systems. NordVPN has a server network of over 110 countries, consistently provides great speeds and stability during our tests, and allows up to ten simultaneous connections under each account. 

NordVPN has a range of Black Friday promotions available, but we think the best value is for an entry-level two-year subscription. NordVPN’s Basic package is currently $3.59/month — a price we have seen several times throughout the year — and three months of free service are included. Deals are also available for one-year contracts. 

The VPN comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it for yourself and see if it is the right service for you.
