And while there are plenty of recommendable VPNs out there, the trick is to find one at a good price. (Remember that — so far, anyway — free VPN services aren’t worth the risk.)

To that end, we’ve compiled a list of the best VPN discounts that are available right now. Just keep a couple of things in mind:
- Some of these offers have “countdown clocks” saying that the deals are ending “today.” These are usually marketing tactics that have no relationship to the deal’s actual end date.
- ZDNet Academy (the purveyor of the KeepSolid VPN deal) is the in-house retailer of ZDNet, CNET’s sister publication.

Norton offers three flavors of its Secure VPN; you can buy it for one device, 5 devices or 10 devices. The 1-device plan is discounted by $10 to $39.99 for the first year of your subscription, but the 5-device plan that usually goes for $79.99 is also $39.99 for the first year — a savings of 50%. The 10-device plan is also discounted by $40 to $59.99 for the first year. We understand that these first-year discounts are “the new normal” for Norton, not limited-time offers, so this is less of an “act now” situation and more of an “FYI.” Also note that after the first discounted year, you’ll auto-renew at the standard rate; you can learn how to cancel your subscription here.
