NordVPN leads the market with its user-friendly apps and an extensive list of features. And at the moment it’s cheap, with 70% off the 3-year plan. And because it’s the company’s 8th birthday, it’s celebrating by giving anyone who signs up to that plan before 10 March a free gift.
The gift can be one of four extra plans: 1 month, 1 year, 2 years or 3 years.
The discount knocks £234.51 off the regular three-year price of the VPN service (£331.25). That means you pay £96.74 up front (which works out at £2.68 per month).
Head to NordVPN’s website to see this deal, which is refundable for 30 days.
Nord sits at the top of our chart of the best VPNs around and there are a few reasons that make it our favourite. It’s fast, easy to use, offers 5,687 servers across 60 countries, and works with Netflix, iPlayer, HBO GO, ShowTime, Hulu and a bunch of other streaming services.
If you’re itching to see what the latest streaming service is like, here’s how to watch Disney+ in the UK using a VPN. Also see our article on how to watch BBC iPlayer abroad.
Nord offers a kill switch in its app, which automatically stops all internet activity if the VPN tunnel collapses. You can fine-tune which apps it should terminate, so not all apps have to lose their connection. Nord also offers a feature called Double VPN which routes your connection through two servers instead of just one.

Best VPN deals
Here are some other VPN deals available right now:
Was: $454.10 / £389.61
Now: $56.94 / £43.94 (81% off)
Private Internet Access is offering four free months on top of its two-year subscription. The monthly price shown on PIA’s site counts those extra ‘free’ months not as free but as paid, though your subscription will last for 28 months instead of 24. It’s just a cheeky way of making the monthly price look cheaper than it really is. But it’s a good deal overall for this trusted service: it’s one of few VPN services that have made the source code for its apps public so it can be scrutinised.Read our full PIA review for more details.
Was: $597 / £517.20
Now: $60 / £52.08 (90% off)
Ivacy’s deal is one of the best around, knocking a whopping 90% off the usual monthly price. It’s a five-year subscription that works out at $1 per month, or 80p if you’re in the UK. The up-front payment of $60 / £52.08 is a real bargain, as that’s what most VPN services charge for two years, or even one year.
Ivacy offers a great service which supports P2P downloads, unblocks streaming services (including Netflix and Disney+) and, like any VPN service, gives you security when using public Wi-Fi and privacy when browsing the web. You can use it on up to 10 devices at the same time, but even if you use it only on one or two, it’s still one the cheapest VPN deals around.

Now: $49.19 / £36.21 (85% off)
Atlas VPN is owned by Nord Security and is effectively the company’s low-cost alternative to NordVPN.
Atlas VPN doesn’t tick as many boxes as NordVPN or Surfshark, but if you’re just looking for the low monthly price, then this deal should be tempting, especially as Atlas VPN doesn’t put any restrictions on the number of devices you can use with the service at the same time.
Was: $657 ($10.95/mo)
Now: $74.95 ($1.24/mo) (89% off)
PureVPN’s deal is for a five-year subscription that will cost you $74.95 (around £62).
As with all the deals here (and with all VPN subscriptions longer than a month), you pay for the full subscription up front – not per month.
Was: $223.83 / £177.93
Now: $87.89 / £80.68 (inc VAT) (65% off)
NordVPN’s deal gets you two years and three months’ access to this top VPN service.
Was: $337.74 / £313.63
Now: $56.94 / £49.92 (84% off)
CyberGhost is a great VPN service and is currently offering a two-year subscription with four months free at the end
You’ll find CyberGhost in our roundup of the best VPN services.
Was: $310.80 / £324
Now: 65.06 / £59.50 (82% off)
Surfshark is offering 82% off its usual monthly price if you opt for its two-year subscription.
Was: $600
Now: $20 (95% off)
Unlike most VPN deals which are subscriptions for a set number of years, FastestVPN’s is for a lifetime subscription. We asked the company exactly what that meant and were told “we will never terminate their accounts”.
And for just $20 – around £15 – that’s unbeatable.
Plus, you’ll get a year’s cloud storage thrown in – 2TB with Internxt – and a password manager.
FastestVPN isn’t the best VPN service around, and it’s not the fastest either. It has far fewer locations and servers than most. When we tested it, speeds were good over IKEv2, but terrible over OpenVPN, which is what you need to use to unblock services such Netflix and Disney+ in the US.
Was: $72/£119.76
Now: $59.88/£78.96 (20% / 44% off)
Hidden24 is a VPN service with a difference: it doesn’t require an app. It will suit anyone wanting a VPN for absolute privacy as it logs precisely nothing.
Your device will need to support a VPN connection natively, but Windows, Android, iOS and macOS all do.
Hidden24 is also a great option if you don’t want to sign up for a long time: it’s around half the cost of its rivals if you just need a VPN for a month.
