I use this privacy suite every day – and it’s dropped the best Black Friday VPN deal I’ve seen so far

As Tom’s Guide’s dedicated VPN writer, I have countless VPNs and privacy apps installed on my devices. But there’s one ecosystem I favor above all else, and use every single day: Proton.

Usually costing over $12.99 per month, you can grab a one-year Proton Unlimited plan for $6.49 per month ($78 up front).

You get one of the best VPNs in Proton VPN, the Proton Pass password manager, and 500 GB of storage with Proton Drive. Alongside this, you’ll unlock Proton Mail – Proton’s first ever product – and Proton Calendar. All this for just over $6 per month.

Premium VPNs are known for bundling password managers or cloud storage with more expensive plans. But you rarely get much else and prices can exceed $5 per month.

I think this is a truly underrated Black Friday bargain and trumps many of the best VPN Black Friday deals. The monthly cost isn’t quite as cheap, but for what you get, you can’t beat it.

The complete privacy suite

There’s no denying I’m a big fan of Proton. It’s the VPN I use outside of work, and back in September I went into detail about what I love about Proton Unlimited.

Personal feelings aside, though, this is a great deal. If you want to move away from Google but keep its synchronicity and ease-of-use, Proton Unlimited has you covered.

Proton Drive includes storage for photos and videos, as well as collaborative documents. Every app can be synced to create one smooth ecosystem and they’re all end-to-end encrypted.

If you’re only after a VPN, and maybe a password manager, then Proton Unlimited’s price could be a little steep. Proton VPN is challenging for the best Black Friday VPN deal, with a two-year plan costing $2.49 per month.

If you’re after a bundled password manager, consider NordVPN Plus at $3.89 per month. NordVPN Complete throws in 1 TB of encrypted cloud storage and costs $4.89 per month.

However, if you want a total privacy suite that can be used across 10 devices and encrypts your data, look no further than Proton Unlimited.
