Best VPN Deals
Boost your privacy and security with a VPN. These are the best VPN deals on at the moment:
Top 10 VPN Deals
FastestVPN Lifetime plan
From: FastestVPN
Was: $600
Now: $40 (93% off)
Unlike most VPN deals which are subscriptions for a set number of years, FastestVPN’s is for a lifetime subscription. We asked the company exactly what that meant and were told “ we will never terminate their accounts”. And for just $40 – around £30 – that’s unbeatable. FastestVPN has fewer locations and servers than the biggest services, but now has a no-logs audit and unblocks Netflix, Disney+ and BBC iPlayer.
Ivacy five-year VPN subscription
From: Ivacy
Was: $597 / £517.20
Now: $60 / £52.08 (90% off)
Ivacy’s deal is one of the best around, knocking a whopping 90% off the usual monthly price. It’s a five-year subscription that works out at $1 per month, or 80p if you’re in the UK. The up-front payment of $60 / £52.08 is a real bargain, as that’s what most VPN services charge for two years, or even one year. Ivacy offers a great service which supports P2P downloads, unblocks streaming services (including Netflix and Disney+) and, like any VPN service, gives you security when using public Wi-Fi and privacy when browsing the web. You can use it on up to 10 devices at the same time, but even if you use it only on one or two, it’s still one the cheapest VPN services around.
PureVPN five-year subscription
From: PureVPN
Was: $747 ($12.45 per month)
Now: $99.95 ($1.67 per month) (87% off)
PureVPN’s five-year deal costs $99.95 (around £80). It sounds a lot, but works out to $1.67 per month (£1.30), and you can use the subscription on 10 devices at the same time, so it’s actually very cheap compared to some. It’s just a matter of whether you want to commit to five years or not. As with all the deals here (and with all VPN subscriptions longer than a month), you pay for the full subscription up front – not per month.
Private Internet Access two-year subscription
From: Private Internet Access
Was: $287.76 / £263.76
Now: $56.94 / £43.94 (85% off)
Private Internet Access is offering four free months on top of its three-year subscription. The monthly price shown on PIA’s site counts those extra ‘free’ months as if you paid for then – a cheeky way of making the monthly price look cheaper than it really is. But it’s a good deal overall for this trusted service: it’s one of few VPN services that have made the source code for its apps public so it can be scrutinised. Read our full PIA review for more details.
CyberGhost two-year subscription
From: CyberGhost
Was: $337.74 / £313.63
Now: $56.94 / £59.92 (83% off)
CyberGhost is currently offering a two-year subscription with two extra months free at the end.
NordVPN two-year subscription
From: NordVPN
Was: $223.83 / £216.76
Now: $80.73 / £77.44 (inc VAT) (63% off)
Right now N ordVPN is offering a higher discount than usual, with three free months on top of its two-year subscription. It’s by no means the cheapest VPN service but because it is one of the best out there, it’s arguably worth paying more for. It provides amazing speeds, loads of servers, unblocks streaming services, and has just done a third audit of its no-logs policy. If you’re happy to compromise on features and speeds, you can get a similar length subscription from several other VPN services here for quite a bit less than NordVPN charges. But if you want the best, this is it.
Hidden24 two-year subscription
From: Hidden24
Was: $72/£119.76
Now: $59.88/£78.96 (20% / 44% off)
Express VPN one-year subscription (3 months free)
From: ExpressVPN
Was: $155.40/£133.92 ($12.95/£11.16 a month)
Now: $99.95/£83.83 ($6.66/£5.59 a month) (49% off)
Get 49% off ExpressVPN, which is one of our favourite VPNs. When you click through to the deal, the monthly cost you see is the average cost when spread over 15 months.

Best Antivirus Deals
We’re covering the best antivirus deals our Best Antivirus Deals article , but you can see the highlights below:
Top 10 Antivirus Deals
Norton 360 Deluxe – 1 Year, 5 Devices
From: Norton
Was: $104.99 / £89.99
Now: $49.99 / £29.99 58% off / £60 off
Norton is one of our top antivirus picks, so it’s good news that you can get the first 12 months for only $49.99 . In the UK, that’s just £19.99 until 5 January.
And speaking of that, do note that the renewal price is $104.99/£84.99 after that first year.There’s also the option of a two-year subscription and get two years for $89.99/£89.99 ($44.99/£44.99 a year) which sounds like a worse deal, but don’t forget you’re getting a discount on both years, not just the first, so it is cheaper overall.

Trend Micro Internet Security – 1 Year, 3 Devices
From: Trend Micro
Was: $79.95 / £49.95
Now: $29.95 / £19.95 (62% / 60% off)
Trend Micro’s online protection for up to three devices is 60% off the first year for those in the UK and there’s a slightly higher 62% discount if you’re in the US ( get the deal here ).
In AV-Test’s latest report , Trend Micro earns maximum points for protection, usability and performance, making this not just an affordable deal, but top-notch protection as well.
McAfee Total Protection – 2 Years, 5 Devices
From: McAfee
Was: $159.99 / £159.99
Now: $69.99 / £69.99 ($90 / £90 off)
McAfee’s current deals allow you to get a discounted subscription for either one or two years, and for five or 10 devices.You can pick which deal you want on the website, but we’ve listed the price for the two-year, five-device deal. You can use the software on laptops, phones, Macs and any other supported device. It you were to go for the 10-device deal and use all the licenses, you’ll be paying just $3.99 / £3.99 per device for each year of this two-year deal.Usually, only the first year is discounted and there’s no option to get that price for two years.
Bitdefender Total Security – 1 Year, 5 Devices
From: Bitdefender
Was: $99.99 / £74.99
Now: $39.98 / £29.99 (60% off)
Bitdefender is consistently rated as one of the best options for protecting your Windows, macOS, iOS and Android devices, and this deal allows you to use your subscription on five computers, phones or tablets.
It’s rated Advanced+ (the top score) by AV-Comparatives and gives you excellent anti-malware protection against the latest threats.
This deal gives you money off for the first year and after that the price charged will be the original price shown above.
Avast One – 1 Year, 5 Devices
From: Avast
Was: $99.99 / £79.99
Now: $50.28 / £39.99 (50% / 60% off)
Avast’s One security suite is fantastic. Not only does it provide excellent protection, it has a welcoming, fresh interface that’s easy to understand and use.
Better still, Avast One Essential is free, which is the best price of all.
However, the Essential package (as opposed to the fully featured Avast One) does come with a few limitations such as not being able to choose a country when using the VPN service and no email monitoring for ID protection.
Those are unlocked along with other advanced features when you pay for Avast One, and this deal means you pay considerably less than full price for the first year.

Home printers are working overtime for many people, with more of us than ever working from home. That means stock is hard to find along with decent deals but we’ve searched high and low for the best discounts nevertheless.
If your printer can’t cope or you’re sick of high ink costs, buying a new printer can solve the problem. We’ve rounded up the biggest bargains, and we also explain what to look for when buying a new printer.
With more demand than usual, printer deals are hard to find but here are the best ones in the US and UK.
What to look for in printer deals
It’s important to keep in mind that the price of the printer is just the beginning. You’ll also need to consider ink costs. Often what looks like a great value printer can turn out to be expensive in the long run because of expensive ink. Some manufacturers, including HP, now offer ink subscriptions which give you a fixed price for a certain number of prints per month, which makes it easy to know how much you’ll be spending.
Most modern printers are multifunction all-in-one devices that can scan and copy documents in addition to your standard printing capabilities. Some include a fax machine, too.
You can find printer reviews by category – choose from budget, laser, laser colour, inkjet and all-in-one models
Look out for Wi-Fi-enabled printers, as these are incredibly useful for when you need to print from your phone or a laptop. Also, consider whether they have USB ports or memory card slots for easier photo printing.
There are lots of different types of printers available, which can make it really tricky to decide which is right for you. It’s worth first noting that the printer market moves very slowly, so don’t be afraid of buying last year’s model.
Inkjet vs Laser
These are the two main printing technologies. An inkjet printer sprays tiny dots of ink onto paper and are generally cheaper than laser printers (though you may pay more in cartridges in the long run).
Laser printers, on the other hand, use a powdered ink called toner. The paper gets electronically charged to attract the ink into position. It’s then fused with heat onto the page. Laser printers work best for text and generally for printing quickly at high volume.
In terms of colour printing, inkjet printers can produce high-quality images but are usually slower. Colour laser printers, while faster than inkjets are more expensive to buy.
Ink cartridges might look cheaper than toner cartridges, but consider the cost per page: toner can often print 1000 pages or more, but ink might last only 100-200 pages. You can also use third-party toner which is much cheaper than genuine toner from Xerox, Samsung and others. Just make sure using it doesn’t void your warranty.
