A VPN subscription can make for a good holiday gift. Everyone could do with
having a VPN to help protect their online activity from prying eyes (and,
perhaps, access more things to watch from their favorite streaming services).
It's something useful that a gift recipient may have never realized they
needed. Of course, you may be looking for a great deal on a VPN yourself, and
the Black Friday discount for Proton VPN is nothing to sniff at. You can get
two years of access to the VPN Plus tier of the service for $59.76, which
works out to $2.49 per month.

That's a discount of 75 percent compared with the regular price of $10 per
month. Overall, you'd save $180.

Proton VPN is our pick for the best VPN overall because it checks all of the
boxes it needs to. There is a free plan with unlimited data, but with that
you can only connect to servers in a few countries and the connection might
not be fast enough for you to watch anything from your preferred streaming
service's library in that locale. The VPN Plus tier unlocks a lot more
options, such as the ability to connect to 15,000 servers across more than
120 countries and simultaneous protection for up to 15 devices.

The apps are well-designed ΓÇö Proton has clients for Windows, Mac, iOS and
Android ΓÇö and it's easy to find a feature or setting you're looking for. In
our testing, Proton VPN Plus had a relatively small impact on browsing
speeds. Our download speeds dropped by 12 percent and uploads by 4 percent,
while the global average ping remained below 300 ms (which is especially
impressive if you're connecting to a server on the other side of the planet).

Perhaps, most importantly, though, it's Proton's commitment to privacy that
helps make its VPN an easy recommendation. There's a no-logs policy, meaning
it does not log user activity or any identifiable characteristics of devices
that connect to the VPN. Proton's servers use full-disk encryption to bolster
privacy as well.
