A VPN with nearly 10,000 weekly Reddit visitors has launched a Black Friday deal cheaper than even some of the many of the very top products on the market.
Private Internet Access (PIA), is now just $2.03 per month, nearly a dollar per month less than the likes of ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and Proton, and it's got a trick up its sleeve that few other VPNs.
PIA supports port forwarding; it also offers customisation for everything from encryption methods to packet sizes. That gives torrent users everything they need to create highly efficient, secure connections that most other VPNs cannot match.
PIA is also a bit of a bargain at less than $60 for two years. Right now, the only good VPNs cheaper are PrivadoVPN ($1.11 per month) and FastestVPN ($27 for lifetime access).
PIA has a good blend of speed, stream unblocking and security thanks to some recent, much-needed updates, broadening its server network and improving connection speeds in the process.
All the same, PrivadoVPN is probably a better choice for pure speed and IPVanish does a better job on the streaming front.
The final thing to note is that this PIA's price isn't entirely new. It regularly drops to $2.03 per month. For the big VPN discounts this Black Friday you might want to take a look at the half-price deals from Windscribe and on Proton Unlimited too.
