Privado VPN [privadovpn.com] has
its Black Friday deal [privadovpn.com], 27 months for $30.
No special link, it's right on their homepage. I haven't gotten any better version of the deal in the free app or email newsletter, either. It seems to be going all November from what I've seen. (Ignore the deal countdown clock on the checkout page.)
The 24 months + 3 months free for $1.11/mo thing advertised might be a typo somewhere in the editing, because the checkout is $30 for 27 months (30/27 = 1.11), so I don't know if they give the final 3 months as credit back on the account or it's just a typo. (Switching currency to euro is 30 euro for 27 months, so that's more expensive.)
After 27 months, the checkout says a new billing will begin at $95.76/24 month cycle, or $4/mo. I don't know what the cancellation process looks like for this, or how easy it is to get on a deal plan again after this. The regular $1.33/mo subscription is $20 for the first 15 months only, before the $4/mo kicks in, so that's another reason why this is a bit better deal.
Privado VPN appears to have only one tier of pricing and service, apart from its free restricted plan (10 GB/month). The advertised full features:
- Unlimited data
- Servers in 66 cities
- 10 connections
- Unlimited devices
- SOCKS5 proxy
- Ad blocker
- Zero-logging
- Apps for a bunch of corporate logos
- 30-day trial
I'll add the features I see right now on the desktop app:
- Auto-connect and smart location
- Kill switch
- Split tunneling
- SmartRoute
- Model Context Protocol (AI tools)
- IKEv2, Wireguard, and OpenVPN protocols
It does not have specific server selection for streaming, gaming, and p2p, but I find that picking local servers work well for all of them. It does not offer static IP/port forwarding (a paid extra in some other VPNs or included in premium VPNs).
It's a smaller VPN company, based in Iceland -- I'll leave it to the reader to
look up for themselves the whole history [wikipedia.org] in relation to privacy. I've only used the free plan so far, for many years, and it has absolutely been my favorite free VPN for a number of reasons, not least of which is its reliability in breaking through stubborn filters (even in comparison to other VPNs using the same protocol -- don't ask me how or why).
