Black Friday means deals, even in the VPN industry, but not every provider takes part. I'll explain why – and how you can spot a bargain anyway.

Black Friday is here and the biggest shopping event of the year does not disappoint with VPN deals. Most VPN providers began offering killer discounts on subscription plans early and most deals are expected to run through the entirety of the holiday season.

Among the different Surfshark plans on offer, the Surfshark One+ subscription is the one to get if you're after a VPN with a security bundle. The equivalent of $3.99 gives you a wealth of ID protection tools, such as ID breach alerts and private search tools, alongside antivirus /anti-malware software and even a data removal service.
