The VPN in this first group are also among our current top five best VPN picks.As such, we can broadly recommend them-albeit with the noted caveats.

Surf Shark 

Surf Shark is a relatively new corner to the VPN Deals for Holidays space,but it is quickly become known for its speed which is why it is one of our VPN experts top picks .Surf Shark also supports unlimited devices ,which is great for large households.If you pick up 26 months of Surshark VPN right now ,you will pay only $ 2.05 a months billed at  $53.28 up front .Keep in mind that this deal is for two years of service with an extra two months of “free” access which just drops the overall cost per month lower .Note that Surfshark recently merged with rival NordVPN ,though the companies have thus far continued to operate independently .

With one of the best user interfaces in the field ,according to our review ,IP Vanish is good for those who are new to a VPN .If this is your first time at the rodeo and want to know more about the technology.IP Vanish is a reliable service with gentle learning curve.Normally IPVanish goes for $90 a year ,but this deal gets you a year of IP Vanish for only $48 ($4 per month ) .This is one of the lowest -priced deals without a multiyear commitment .Note that IPVanish is owned by US-based Ziff Davis ,which may be a concern if you are a security -focused user.

Express VPN

Express VPN still tops our list of the best VPNs and you can make a bit of a saving on a subscription by going for its 12-month plan where you will snag an additional three months of service for free ,dropping the equivalent monthly cost to just $6.67 (billed as $100 up front ),Again those three months of “free” access just drops the overall cost per monthly lower,but spreads the savings but over the longer -term of 15 months .We  evaluate VPNs based on their overall performance in three main categories :speed ,security and price.Express is not the cheapest ,but it is among the fastest and so far is the most secure-even after its acquisition by kapeTechnologies and its provies best speed while videos and stuff and if you want to watch the video proceed further.

Additional VPN deals 

We either have not fully tested the following VPNs ,or have only tested them anecdotally .Thus we can only recommend them for casual use,such as bypassing geographic restrictions while streaming media.PureVPN presents another affordable option if you are in the market for a simple VPN without a big price tag .With a solid server fleet of over 6500 in 78 countries ,PureVPN promises reliable services ,although we haven’t had the chance to verify .Another thing to disclaim here: PureVPN  was reported on by our sister site ZDNet as having provided timestamp-only logs to the FBI in a cyber stalking case back in 2018 .Pure VPN has since stopped the timestamp logging practice and underground a third-party audit to ensure that it keeps to it no -long policy.There is currently a deal priced at $2 a month for a year ($23.88 up front).
