If you spend a lot of time online, you should absolutely have a VPN. It can keep your connection private, whether you're browsing social media or shopping on Amazon. If you aren't using one, today's a good time to subscribe, because you can save big on one of the most popular VPN services around.

As of Oct. 19, you can get a two-year subscription to the Standard tier of NordVPN for just $80.73 as part of the company's Black Friday sale. That breaks down to just $2.99 per month and a savings of 64%. It's the lowest price we've seen the service go for this year, and it's well worth the price since you'd normally be paying $223.83 for otherwise.

The Standard tier of NordVPN nets you malware protection as well as a tracker and ad blocker in addition to the company's VPN service. While you won't get the additional niceties like 1 TB of cloud storage, file encryption, or a password manager like the Plus and Complete tiers offer, you're getting everything you need for better peace of mind while surfing.

We named NordVPN the best VPN for power users earlier this year, suggesting it as a great choice for users who know what they're doing and praising it for its "unrivaled suite of top-notch security features." At this price, it's definitely a good place to start when it comes to cybersecurity.
