VPN Black Friday deals 2026: real vs fake
The master tracker: renewal prices, historical lows, and the live 2026 deal status for all five VPNs.
Home › Deals
Most Black Friday VPN deals are the everyday price in a costume. We check every offer against the verified baseline price and the renewal terms, and say plainly when there's no deal.

A real deal beats the baseline: the everyday 2-year price we verified in October 2026. “83% off” banners compare against a monthly price nobody pays, so we ignore the banner math and compare against what you'd pay last month. Then we check the renewal: a deal that doubles on the second bill isn't a deal, it's a loan.
Status as of October 2026: no provider has announced 2026 Black Friday pricing yet. Each page below carries the verified baseline, last year's terms, and the renewal math, and updates the moment genuine November pricing appears.
