As the year of doom draws to a close, ExpressVPN is the best VPN of 2020, and that title is not likely to go anywhere in 2021.

So if you want to protect the brand new goodies in your stocking, or if your New Year's resolution is to maximize your cybersecurity, there's no better way than to set up a plan with ExpressVPN.

The only downside is that ExpressVPN is usually not super cheap, but this VPN deal changes that: by offering Tom's Guide readers three free months of a 12-month plan, you're essentially saving 49% compared to paying monthly.

ExpressVPN doesn't really do sales or discounts, so this is the absolute best price for the best service on the market. In a way, this is unfortunate, because it means that you won't see a significant price cut anytime soon, but it also means that you won't see a much cheaper price a month after you sign up now and start your subscription.

Now, if you want the best, ExpressVPN is the provider to choose. It's the full package with great streaming performance, excellent speeds, great torrent power, plus unwavering privacy and security.

With military-grade AES-256 encryption, a choice of secure protocols, over 3,000 all-RAM servers in 94 countries, and simple yet powerful apps that are perfect for beginners and advanced users alike, there is little you will want to change.

If you're looking for something cheaper, Surfshark is always a good bet. While it doesn't match Express in terms of power or configuration, it's great for streaming, and at $2.21/month, it's not that expensive.

But if you're the kind of person who won't settle for anything but the best (and we don't blame you), ExpressVPN is more than worth the slight extra cost.
