NordVPN is selling two-year subscription plans for up to 69 percent off, depending on which tier you choose. You also get three free months of service when you sign up, which is always a nice bonus. This is actually a slightly better deal than <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:last month’s 68 percent discount;cpos:1;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0" href="https://www.engadget.com/good-deal-nordvpn-two-year-plans-are-up-to-68-percent-off-right-now-154504370.html">last month’s 68 percent discount</a> on two-year subscription plans.</p><div><div><div><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:NordVPN Complete Plan;pid:manual_9010c35f-0e81-4069-94dc-504026e528ab_1697650700896;aid:manual_9010c35f-0e81-4069-94dc-504026e528ab_1697650700896;itemcost:$448;itmId:$135;sellerN:NordVPN;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$135 at NordVPN;pkgt:horizontal-img;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=manual-entry&amp;itemName=NordVPN+Complete+Plan&amp;merchantName=NordVPN&amp;brand=NordVPN&amp;price=448.0&amp;salePrice=135.0&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL25vcmR2cG4uY29tLyIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiOTAxMGMzNWYtMGU4MS00MDY5LTk0ZGMtNTA0MDI2ZTUyOGFiIn0&amp;signature=AQAAAUcN3aDcJkubzYwud4sAtf84Rp-fs-2ecsqqTMqSWfqj" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img data-src="https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/k4DfIRxXfLgigjVM9sZhCA--~B/aD01ODk7dz0xMDQ5O2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-10/19b49890-6ddd-11ee-b76d-1b65ec882fbd" height="589" width="1049"></img></a></p><p>NordVPN</p></div></div></div><p>Here’s how it all breaks down. The company’s flagship Complete plan is 69 percent off when you buy into two years of service, totaling $5 per month or $135. The Plus plan is 62 percent off, coming in at $4 per month or $108 for two years. The Standard plan is likely the best option for average consumers, offering a secure VPN, tracker blockers, ad blockers and malware protection. This plan is 63 percent off, totaling $3 per month or $80 for the whole shebang. Each and every one of these deals includes three free months of service, totaling 27 months. The one-year plans are also discounted and come with the same three free months of use.</p><p>There are even discounts for the company’s proprietary password management software, NordPass. Two-year Premium plans are 58 percent off and also offer three free months upon signing up. Enterprise users actually get six free months to try everything out.</p><p>We have praised NordVPN’s feature set and general ease-of-use, but <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:balked at the original price tag.;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0" href="https://www.engadget.com/nordvpn-review-a-bit-too-overhyped-for-the-price-163100341.html">balked at the original price tag.</a> As a matter of fact, the cost was a primary reason why Nord’s offering narrowly missed our <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:list of the best VPNs.;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0" href="https://www.engadget.com/best-vpn-130004396.html">list of the best VPNs.</a> So these discounts go a long way to making this an extremely attractive option for those looking for a speedy and useful virtual private network.</p><p>It’s worth noting that all of these plans are being advertised as Black Friday discounts, but you can actually make use of the sale beginning today. It all ends on November 29, so set a calendar reminder if you want some time to think things over.</p><p>If you aren’t even sure what VPNs are for, they are actually quite useful for those who <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:spend a lot of time;cpos:4;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0" href="https://www.engadget.com/2016-09-19-three-reasons-using-a-vpn-will-benefit-you.html">spend a lot of time</a> on ye olde internet. These services are nearly-mandatory when accessing public Wi-Fi, as they prevent cyber criminals from accessing your computer. The software also blocks malicious sites, protects sensitive data and lets you skirt geo-restrictions when surfing.</p><p><em>Follow </em><a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:@EngadgetDeals;cpos:5;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0" href="https://twitter.com/EngadgetDeals" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><em>@EngadgetDeals</em></a><em> on Twitter and </em><a data-i13n="cpos:6;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:subscribe to the Engadget Deals newsletter;cpos:6;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0" href="https://subscription.yahoo.net/Newsletter/Preference/sub?b=engadgetdeals&amp;src" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><em>subscribe to the Engadget Deals newsletter</em></a><em> for the latest tech deals and buying advice.</em></p></div>
