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, 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 live as the day itself finally arrives today.
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.

Should I Wait To Sign Up To A Black Friday VPN Deal?
While there are likely to be other providers launching Black Friday VPN deals, the three providers I always recommend and list at the bottom of CinemaBlend's How to Watch guides (NordVPN, Surfshark, and ExpressVPN) have already launched their Black Friday discounts. Unlike hardware, that can fluctuate and dip even further in price as Black Friday proper draws closer, VPNs are very unlikely to go down any more in price.
It's worth noting I haven't included all VPN providers who have launched Black Friday deals here. The likes of FastestVPN and Hide.me have also launched promotions for the period, but as these aren't regarded as highly by Tom's Guide, our sister site that tests VPNs, in terms of streaming performance, I've chosen not to include them here.
Which Is The Best Black Friday VPN Deal?
Personally, I'm a big fan of NordVPN. There's a reason it features on most – if not all – of CinemaBlend's How to Watch guides. It's reliable in its ability to unblock streaming services all around the world, it's one of the most secure VPN according to Tom's Guide, and it sits in a nice middle-ground between affordable and more expensive VPNs. Now with a 74% saving this Black Friday and 3 months free tagged onto the end of your 2-year plan, it just got even more great value for money.
Alternatively, my second in command would be Surfshark. This is a great one for VPN newbies. It's interface is super intuitive and straight-forward, and the design is really cool if aesthetically pleasing software if your kryptonite. Already deemed one of the cheapest, best quality VPN, it has just got even cheaper, now costing as little as $1.99 a month in its Black Friday deal, with 4 additional months free on its 2-year plan.
