Black Friday is almost here, and Surfshark is one of the VPNs slashing its prices over the weekend. Surfshark is second on our list of the best VPNs, as well as claiming the crown for the best cheap VPN – but it has just got even cheaper, and there are some amazing value deals available this Black Friday.

Surfshark's offer sees its two-year Starter plan drop to just $1.99 per month, with an additional four months included for free. This works out as a 87% saving and makes it one of the best Black Friday VPN deals.

More premium plans are also on offer. Surfshark One is 86% off, and includes breach alerts for your personal information, a private search tool, and antivirus and malware protection for $2.49 per month, with an extra four months free.

If you want to go one step further, then Surfshark One+ is 81% off, at $3.99 per month, plus six extra months for free. This top tier plan gives you all the protection included in the previous plans, as well as the data removal service Incogni. Incogni sends removal requests to data brokers on your behalf, making sure that you receive less spam and stay more private. The service frequently repeats this process, so you're always protected.

These deals are all two years long as standard (plus your additional free months), but there are one-year, and one-month plans available if that's your preference. These plans do work out as more expensive per month than the two-year plan, so bear that in mind when choosing your plan.

For the one-year plans, Surfshark Starter is $2.99 per month, Surfshark One is $3.39 per month, and Surfshark One+ is $5.99 per month. All come with four months free.

If you really don't want long term protection then there is a 1-month plan, starting at a very expensive $15.45. However, all plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try any plan and see if it's right for you.

The best Surfshark Black Friday deals

What is so good about these Surfshark deals?

Surfshark is runner-up in our best VPNs list, and is a quality VPN service. It is the best deal this Black Friday for its combination of performance and price. As well as being the best cheap VPN, it's also the fastest. It's one of the best streaming VPNs, and features in our best iPhone VPN and best Android VPN lists.

Surfshark is seriously fast, reaching over 950 Mbps using WireGuard and, even more impressively, OpenVPN. It'll unblock all your favourite streaming sites, including Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, and BBC iPlayer.

There's some good features, including Alternative ID and Alternative Number. Alternative ID allows you to create spoof email addresses that will forward mail onto your real inbox. This is great for signing up for things like newsletters and imputing your email online.

Alternative Number enables you to create a fake phone number to prevent spam calls. There's a few limitations, but it's an interesting feature that's only available with Surfshark.

You do get malware blocking and antivirus, although this isn't the best on the market. Tools such as NordVPN's Threat Protection Pro has proved to be superior in our testing.

If you have a load of devices you want protected by a VPN, then you'll love Surfshark's unlimited device connections policy. Just one plan allows you to protect as many devices as you like.

Overall, if you're on a budget but still want a quality VPN, then we highly recommend Surfshark. All plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out and claim a refund if it's not for you.
