NordVPN Black Friday deal: Save over £500 and get a free file encryption tool
This brilliant Black Friday deal includes a £500 saving on NordVPN and its new paid-for file encryption tool
We’ve reviewed the best VPN services, and all of them have hefty Black Friday deals, but NordVPN has just one-upped its competition by adding three months free when you subscribe to its VPN service for three years. Apart from that, Nord is throwing in its new file encryption tool, NordLocker, completely free for the entire 39-month duration.
The combined deal costs £101.76 for 39 months, which amounts to just £2.60 a month, which is a brilliant price for two premium high-end security services. To avail of it, you’ll need to act quickly though because this flash sale won’t last for long.
With it, you won’t need to worry about owning a great VPN service or a robust file encryption service until March 2023, and you’ll be saving a massive £528 compared to if you subscribed to both services together at any other time.
For those unfamiliar with what a VPN is, it’s an online service that encrypts all your online traffic. In short, this will make all your browsing private, protecting your online activity from hackers and even from your own ISP. It’s especially useful if you use public or hotel Wi-Fi networks which are more vulnerable to attacks.
Apart from protecting your browsing, good VPNs (like NordVPN) also let you access geo-blocked websites and streaming services. So, for example, you can watch Netflix, HBO UK and Disney+ when you’re abroad, and even stream your favourite sports channels.
NordVPN is the second-best VPN we’ve tested because it has a strict no-logs policy, gives you access to over 5,000 servers worldwide, you can connect up to six devices at the same time and there’s a 30-day moneyback guarantee if you’re unhappy for whatever reason.
NordLocker is the company’s new file encryption tool. The free plan lets you encrypt 5GB for free, but this Black Friday deal lets you encrypt everything on your PC for 39 months for free. This is great to keep all your personal and sensitive files – including your documents, holiday photos, videos, medical records or bank statements – private and ensure they don’t end up in the wrong hands.
The service also works with cloud storage services, so you can encrypt all your data before uploading it to Google Drive, Box, iCloud or Dropbox. Doing this ensures that even if these secure cloud storage services are hacked, your data will still be protected.
A few months ago, NordVPN came under fire for a server breach that happened in March 2018 but the company assured us that no personal user data was compromised and they have since tightened all its security protocols and taken more stringent measures regarding how they vets their overseas servers.
