SCIENCE & TECH: This $1 VPN just dropped a 90% off deal for Black Friday – here’s how to grab yours

With the official shopping season just around the corner, we’re seeing some of the best VPN providers drop their Black Friday deals early.

PrivadoVPN is one of the first out of the gate, and it has come out swinging with a massive 90% discount on its longest-term plan. The deal, which is live now, allows users to sign up for a two-year plan for what works out to just around $1 per month.

While many users will know PrivadoVPN for its capable free VPN, this premium plan unlocks the full service. That means access to servers in 49 countries, 10 simultaneous connections, and some seriously impressive speeds that match the industry’s top players. This is the best price we have seen for PrivadoVPN all year, making it a fantastic time for free users to upgrade.

What makes this deal especially compelling is the inclusion of a full antivirus engine for the entire two-year duration of the plan, completely free of charge. This is an exclusive for TechRadar readers and is a huge value-add to an already feature-rich service.

Why PrivadoVPN?

This Black Friday deal from PrivadoVPN is one of the most affordable options for users looking for a wider security package, as it will give you access not only to its premium VPN service, but also to an antivirus engine to protect against malware and ransomware, an ad-blocker, and even parental controls to block certain types of content.

If your main priority is streaming, PrivadoVPN is a great streaming VPN pick. As we discovered when we put it to the test, its geo-unblocking performance is nearly flawless. We were able to access almost every major streaming platform, including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+. While it occasionally required trying a different server, it consistently got the job done.

Despite having a more limited global network than others, PrivadoVPN still offers 67 locations across 49 countries, mostly dotted in North America and Europe. You can also expect blazing-fast connection speeds, so you can stream or play in HD or 4K without buffering.

From a privacy perspective, PrivadoVPN is based in Switzerland, which is known for its strong data privacy laws. It uses robust AES-256 encryption to secure your traffic and has a strict no-logs policy, meaning it doesn’t collect or store any data about your online activity.

Like all good VPNs, PrivadoVPN customers also get a 30-day money-back guarantee, so that you can decide for yourself risk-free if it’s really the right service for you.
