You don’t need us to tell you the internet can be a scary place. There are bad actors and scammers around every digital corner looking to steal your information or track your movements online. It’s an unfortunate reality that we all have to live with in our chronically online lives.
One of the most effective tools that you can use to protect yourself on the internet is a Virtual Private Network (or VPN). A VPN creates an artificial access point to the websites you visit, which conceals your personal IP address, and gives the services you access very little information about you. It’s the ideal way to browse the web securely.
Luckily for you, Black Friday is traditionally the best time in the year to sign up for a new VPN, with the biggest discounts you’ll see all year, as much as 80-90% in some cases.
To help you sort yourself out with a cracking VPN going into 2025, PCMag has reached out to partners to offer its audience the best VPN deals available in Australia right now. so that readers can ensure their safety and anonymity when browsing online for cheap. If you’re unaware of what a VPN is, or want to find out the what the difference is between each VPN service, read our round-up comparison table of the best VPN services.

Even if your own anonymity and safety online isn’t important to you (and it should be), there are still fantastic features of a VPN that you could be using all the time, like the ability to access geo-blocked content. You’d be surprised just how little Australian Netflix has to offer compared to the service when accessed from the US or various countries in Europe.
Most of these VPNs have free trial periods, so if you’re unsure which VPN is right for you, try them out first before you commit. Even though it’s our PCMag Editors’ Choice, something fully featured like NordVPN might not be worth the extra money for you if you’re just looking to access geo-blocked content for example. For budget concsious browsers, something like SurfShark VPN will suffice perfectly fine.
