As someone whose job often requires them online, I'm acutely aware of the hazards involved in accessing the internet, and I regularly use VPNs for work purposes.


Why use a VPN? The biggest reason is to conceal your location, since the service gives you a dedicated IP address. It'll hide your true location from hackers and would-be identity thieves. As a bonus, it allows you access the best streaming services if you're traveling, or access region-locked content.

The basic tier, Surfshark Starter, will also block those infuriating adverts that can disrupt your browsing, and will block your identity from prying eyes. Good luck to any hacker trying to get through Surfshark's rigorous security measures.

Higher tiers, such as Surfshark One and Surfshark One+ offer additional services, such as blocking viruses and alerting you to data breaches.

The latter's particularly useful; you'll be alerted if your details have been compromised in one of the large-scale hacks that unfortunately seem to happen from time to time. And, if that occurs, it's a reminder to change your password quickly. Plus, even the Surfshark Starter tier will cover you for an unlimited number of devices, mobiles, tablets and laptops included.

In short, if you're worried at all about online safety, this Black Friday deal will put your mind at ease.

Key features: The basic $1.99 tier includes ad-blocking, spam protection and a VPN that will conceal your location and fend off hackers.

Price history: We saw Surfshark drop to a similar price last year, but while there have been other reductions, this is the cheapest we've seen it so far. The deal ends December 2nd, so hurry.
