Black Friday VPN Deals For Streaming From Anywhere – According To Someone Who Used To Test Providers

If you're a longtime reader of CinemaBlend's streaming guides, you may notice I often promote the use of a VPN alongside many of our How to Watch guides. That's because it's incredibly useful when it comes to traveling and maintaining access to the streaming services you pay good money to be subscribed to – something I learnt when writing about VPNs when previously working at TechRadar and Tom's Guide. If your subscription to a VPN is set to expire, then, or you want to see what all the fuss is about, there's no better time than now to try with plenty of Black Friday VPN deals already live.

A piece of software that's primary function is to better secure your online connection, the use that'll interest CinemaBlend readers most is its ability to bypass content blocked by geo-restrictions. For instance, if you're working overseas or on vacation, you can connect to a VPN with servers based around the world, and make your device appear just about anywhere. So if you want to watch something through your Max subscription – say, the new Dune TV spin-off – you can connect to a US server with a VPN and avoid geo-restrictions. Equally, a VPN can unblock different Netflix libraries, or ensure expats in the States can watch UK TV online from anywhere, for instance.

The Black Friday VPN deals for 2024 have already begun to drop, with the top provider I always recommend alongside our How To Watch guides, NordVPN, offering a significant 74% saving alongside an additional 3 months being tagged onto its 2-year plans. For those after something more affordable, Surfshark always wins out as the best value for money, and is now down to $1.99 a month from $4.98 on its own 2-year plan.

It's a little outside of the box, but a VPN could very well be one of the best Black Friday entertainment deals for avid movie and TV watchers. Especially if you consider partnering it with this year's Black Friday streaming deals that are soon to be announced.

Best Black Friday VPN Deals For Streaming

All VPNs are tested by our sister site, Tom's Guide, who put the best VPNs through their paces, including testing their effectiveness in unblocking streaming services. While there are deals on a ton of VPN providers, I'll only list the deals for those services that offer the most seamless unblocking experience for CinemaBlend readers.

NordVPN: $11.59 $2.99 A Month On 2 Year Plan + 3 Months Free
Save 74% - NordVPN features on all CinemaBlend's How to Watch guides. This is the VPN I use when streaming and proves the most reliable when unblocking streaming services without compromising on speed, which is obviously pretty important. Nobody wants the dreaded buffer icon. It's also the #1 VPN according to Tom's Guide, which tested Nord's unblocking prowess across major streaming providers around the world.

Save 60% - Surfshark comes in at number 2 for Tom's Guide as the overall best VPN and also its best streaming VPN guide. It's a great little VPN, especially intuitive if you're new to the world of VPNs with a seamless, cool interface across devices. Of course, most important of all for us, it's also very good at unblocking and a more affordable option if Nord is a bit steep for you. It also offers unlimited connections.

ExpressVPN: $12.95 $4.99 A Month On 2 Year Plan + 6 Months Free
Save 61% - Keen readers of CinemaBlend's How to Watch guides might recall ExpressVPN as the one I recommended for unblocking. To be clear, it's still very good at unblocking. NordVPN just beats it to the punch as an all-round more secure, better performing service – but it's very, very close. This is the first time ExpressVPN has ever offered a Black Friday VPN deal, bringing its monthly rate into the wheelhouse of its competitors as the notoriously pricier service. It's really reliable for unblocking and it's very easy to use.

Save 70% - Proton VPN's ability to unblock streaming services is good – in particular, Tom's Guide describes its ability to unblock Netflix libraries around the globe as "first-class". This Black Friday VPN deal is definitely worth checking out, then. Leading with its initiative to offer a secure tool, unlike the above, it goes above and beyond for full transparency with its users as an open-source platform.
