Black Friday VPN sales usually come with homework. Basic, Plus, Complete, Ultimate: you compare four plans just to work out which one has the features you wanted. Proton VPN doesn’t make you do any of that. There’s one VPN plan, everything is in it, and right now it’s $2.49 a month, 75% off.
That’s $59.76 for two full years of VPN. Pay month to month for the same two years, and you’d spend $239.76, so you’d save $180. It’s even a dollar a month cheaper than NordVPN’s cheapest sale plan. And while most VPNs raised their Black Friday prices this year, Proton kept last year’s.
No coupon code, no hoops. Just don’t sit on it too long, because this price disappears when the holiday sales end.
Everything Comes in the $2.49 Plan
Proton doesn’t hold its best features back for a pricier tier. At $2.49 a month, you get all of this:
- 10 devices at once: your phone, laptop, tablet, TV, and the rest of the household
- 20,000+ servers in 140+ countries, so there’s a fast one wherever you are
- NetShield, which kills ads, trackers, and malware sites before they load
- Secure Core, which runs your traffic through a second server in a privacy-friendly country
- Stealth protocol that gets you online on networks that block VPNs
- Torrenting with port forwarding for quicker downloads
- Tor over VPN with one click
It’s great for streaming, too. In our tests, Proton VPN got us into Netflix US, Canada, and Japan, BBC iPlayer, Prime Video, HBO Max, and Peacock, and it held onto almost 90% of our connection speed. A whole world of streaming libraries for less than a coffee a month.
The Two-Year Plan Is Where the Savings Are
The Black Friday discount lands on the two-year term:
| Plan | Monthly price | Paid upfront | Discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| VPN Plus, 2 years | $2.49 | $59.76 | 75% |
| VPN Plus, 1 year | $3.99 | $47.88 | 60% |
| Proton Unlimited, 1 year | $6.49 | $77.88 | 50% |
For just $11.88 more than the one-year plan, the two-year term gives you a whole extra year of VPN. I’d take that every time.
Want more than a VPN? Proton Unlimited adds Proton’s encrypted email, cloud storage, password manager, and calendar for $6.49 a month. If you’ve been meaning to leave Google’s apps, this is the cheapest way to do it.
Privacy You Can Check, With Nothing to Lose
Every VPN says it keeps no logs. Proton lets independent auditors check, and it just passed its fifth no-logs audit in a row. The reports are public. Proton is based in Switzerland, its main shareholder is the nonprofit Proton Foundation, and its apps are open source, so anyone can see exactly what the code does.
Want to try it first? Proton VPN has a free plan with no data cap. And once you upgrade, you get a full refund if you cancel within 30 days, so you’re not risking anything.
