For most people, the best VPNs combine security, streaming performance, and excellent speed. And now, this incredibly fast VPN has dropped its price to its lowest ever, one of the best VPN deals we've ever seen.

With a 3-year contract, this VPN Black Friday deal is available for the incredible price of just $2.49 per month. This is similar to our top cheap VPN services, but none of them can reach the staggering speeds of Hotspot Shield.

Hotspot Shield requires a 3-year contract, but over the last year or so, it has improved our ranking dramatically.

All-inclusive, we would pay $107 for 3 years of coverage. At less than $40 per year, we think it's a great value, and you have a huge 45-day money-back guarantee to test it out.

Hotspot Shield is all about connection speed, and it is very impressive. Our tests have shown speeds up to over 400 Mbps, far exceeding what most domestic broadband lines can achieve - so while you may not get that speed, you'll see that it's not your VPN that's slowing you down.

As a matter of fact, Hotspot Shield's ratings haven't always been that high, but the provider recently upped its game, ranking fourth in our guide to the best VPN services. It's great for streaming and unblocking websites, torrenting, gaming, and general day-to-day protection.

We rate ExpressVPN as the best service on the market, with a slick app and excellent performance, but it's rather pricey at $6.67/month; Surfshark is a great budget option, but it's not that cheap at $2.21/month; and Hotspot Shield is a great option for those who want to protect their privacy, it doesn't reach the astronomical speeds of Hotspot Shield.

So if you're looking for the best high-speed VPN on the block, Hotspot Shield may be your best bet.
