As a cord-cutter, I know how essential a Virtual Private Network is. It solves many problems I face, including misbehaving geolocation checkers. Here are the best Cyber Monday VPN deals I’ve found.

But VPNs are more than just that. They are a critical part of cybersecurity — as important as antivirus software and password managers. VPNs are the only real way to protect your online privacy.

Each Black Friday, all the major VPN providers offer their best prices of the year. We don’t know the details for this year, yet. But we know about previous years.

Why You Might Need a VPN

There are many reasons you might benefit from a VPN service:

Privacy: What you are doing online is no one’s business. A VPN stops prying eyes.
Site Unblocking: Remove restrictions by invasive governments, ISPs, employers, and more.
Security: Get secure access to the internet you are supposed to, regardless of your current location.
Stay Hidden: Keep your IP address hidden.

What to Look for in a VPN

No two VPNs are the same. But you should get one with at least these features:

Broad selection of VPN server locations
No bandwidth limit
Fast speeds
Multiple simultaneous connections

You may also want a no-logs policy and kill switch, although these aren’t essential for most streaming.

Options that are often bundled with VPNs that can be good to have are password managers, malware protection, ad-blockers, and cloud storage.
