My favorite VPN for gaming just dropped its prices by up to 77% − here’s how to grab yours

A solid gaming VPN can be a powerful tool in your arsenal. It protects you from DDoS attacks, helps you access geo-restricted games or content, and even improves performance by lowering ping and preventing your internet service provider from throttling your connection. This results in more stable speeds, better security, and greater privacy, especially when gaming on public Wi-Fi.

NordVPN is the best VPN we’ve tested, and it consistently comes out on top for gaming. Right now, it has launched an early Black Friday VPN deal that makes it the perfect time to subscribe. The provider is offering a massive 77% saving on its two-year plan, bringing the price down to just the equivalent of $2.99 a month.

This is the best deal we have seen from NordVPN all year, making it an excellent opportunity for anyone looking for a reliable and high-performance VPN to enhance their gaming experience.

So, what makes NordVPN the ideal choice for gamers? It all comes down to performance and security.

When it comes to speed, NordVPN is in a league of its own. In our latest tests, it delivered peak speeds of 1256Mbps with its NordLynx protocol and still-impressive 974Mbps with OpenVPN, ensuring a smooth and lag-free gaming experience.

Plus, with superb latency and jitter results (17.2ms and 2.4ms with NordLynx, and 14.6ms and 4.2ms with OpenVPN), you can count on a stable and responsive connection, even during the most intense gaming sessions.

With 127 server locations across 118 countries, you’ll have no trouble finding a fast and reliable connection, no matter where you are. This extensive network also allows you to bypass geo-restrictions and access games and content from around the world.

But NordVPN isn’t just about speed; it’s also a powerhouse when it comes to security. It comes with a strict no-log policy, ensuring that your online activities are never tracked or stored. It also uses strong encryption protocols to protect your data from prying eyes.

For an extra layer of security, you get advanced features like Threat Protection Pro, which blocked 91% of phishing sites, 86% of malware, and 54% of ads in our latest tests. And with Meshnet, you can create your own secure network to game with friends without having to worry about your privacy.
