Proton VPN Black Friday 2026 is live: VPN Plus from $2.99 a month on the 1-year plan, 70% off. Sale ends 30 November 2026.
Proton VPN's Black Friday deal for 2026 is live, and it is a straightforward one: a steep cut on VPN Plus, no coupon code, and a hard end date. VPN Plus on the 1-year plan costs $2.99 a month — $35.88 for the first 12 months — which is 70% off the monthly rate. A 2-year partner offer at $2.49 a month ($59.76 for 24 months), 75% off, is also reported.
What the deal actually costs
Two prices are in play, and which one you see depends on where you land:
- 1-year plan (public Black Friday page): $2.99 a month, $35.88 for the first 12 months, 70% off
- 2-year plan (partner offer page): $2.49 a month, $59.76 for the first 24 months, 75% off
Both prices were checked against Proton's official pages on 10 November 2026. The number that counts is the one on your checkout page — Proton shows different prices by region and channel, so confirm before you pay.
The sale is reported to run from 26 October to 30 November 2026, covering Black Friday on 27 November and Cyber Monday on 30 November. If the page you open shows a different end date, trust the page.
What you get with VPN Plus
VPN Plus is Proton's main paid tier. It includes high-speed servers in more than 100 countries, NetShield ad and malware blocking, Secure Core servers that route traffic through privacy-friendly countries, and support for up to 10 devices. Proton is based in Switzerland and operates under a strict no-logs policy that has been audited by third parties.
The free plan exists and is genuinely free, but it is limited to a handful of countries and much slower speeds. The Black Friday price is the cheapest way into the full service.
What to check before you buy
Three things, all of which cost you money if you skip them:
- The renewal price. The discount covers the first term only. After the first year, VPN Plus renews at the standard price — currently $83.88 a year. That is the price you will actually pay in year two, so judge the deal on it.
- Which term you are buying. The 2-year plan is cheaper per month but commits $59.76 upfront. The 1-year plan costs more per month but less total. Pick the term you will actually use.
- The refund window. Every paid Proton VPN plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Try it on your real devices and your real networks inside that window, and cancel if it does not fit.
Is it worth it?
Proton VPN is one of the few VPNs with a strong privacy record, independent audits, and a free tier that is not a data trap. At $2.99 a month for a year, the Black Friday price is genuinely cheap for what you get — and it undercuts NordVPN and Surfshark's headline Black Friday prices this year. The catch is the same as every VPN sale: the renewal price is the real price, and the deal only looks cheap if you remember that.
If you work on public WiFi, travel often, or just want your home connection encrypted, this is a good week to buy. If you are not sure you need a VPN at all, our guide to what VPNs actually do will help you decide before you spend anything.
