NordVPN just launched its Black Friday deal this morning on November 20th and matches Amazon's Black Friday kickoff with aggressive pricing of its own: The NordVPN Basic plan dropped to a record low of $2.99 per month when you commit to 27 months, which works out to $80.73 total instead of the usual $312.93. VPN services protect your internet privacy, encrypt your connection and let you access content that's geographically restricted, but most people skip them because monthly costs add up quickly.
Early Black Friday deals are slowly trickling in, including a limited-time offer on NordVPN. The VPN company is offering its several of its subscription plans for up to 77% off, with an additional 3 months tacked on for even better value. Using a VPN is a good way to buff up your privacy capabilities and maintain access to region-locked content while traveling. If you've been on the fence, NordVPN's discounted prices make now a great time to consider a subscription.
On Tuesday, NordVPN subscribers received an email noting that the community's response to the news prompted the VPN provider to change its mind and keep Meshnet running. "Over the past month, many of you have spoken up about how much you value Meshnet, whether for tinkering with private networks, sharing files securely, or just gaming with friends," NordVPN's email reads. "Your passion made us take a hard look at our decision. So here's the update: We heard you. Meshnet is not going anywhere."
