FULL STORY ====================================================================== As major data breaches, cyberattacks, and ever-more invasive data collection continue to plague our digital life, more people have been turning to the best VPN apps to take back some agency over their online information. VPNs are a great way to boost your privacy and security when browsing the internet but they shouldn't be your only line of defense. An important step is also breaking free from all data-grabbing applications you may still use. Despite Google's continuous obsession with people's data, a Gmail account is likely to still be the main door to the web for most people regardless of the privacy implications. The good news is that Proton offers the perfect privacy-first alternative to the Gmail suite, and it's now discounted by 50% for Black Friday. After slashing Proton VPN 's pricing to its lowest of the year with an early Black Friday VPN deal , the Swiss-based provider is now giving away its full security package for half the price. This includes one of the most secure email services on the market, an encrypted drive and calendar apps, and a reliable password manager tool for only $6.49 a month. All Proton's products offer a free tier, but these always come with some limitations whether these are on storage space or capabilities meaning you'll need to upgrade to get the full powerhouse. And now it's the best time of the year to do so. Proton Unlimited Black Friday deal Proton Unlimited: (was $ 12.99) now just $6.49 a month If you're looking to boost your digital life from different fronts, Proton has just dropped a 50% discount on its security suite, offering all-around Swiss-grade privacy to secure all your assets. Here's what's included for the equivalent of $6.49 a month: Proton VPN Proton Pass Proton Mail Proton Calendar Proton Drive View Deal How good is Proton Unlimited? The Proton Unlimited suite is the ideal package for securing all of your digital assets, without the need to subscribe to different providers, as it grants you access to five distinct products. Proton VPN is one of the best VPNs you can get right now. It comes with a strict no-log policy , a range of strong encryption protocols to choose from, advanced security features, and anti-censorship tools. Performance-wise, Proton VPN has some seriously quick speeds last time we checked (with peaks of 1521Mbps using WireGuard) and brilliant streaming unblocking results. Proton Mail protects all your emails from any snooping, encrypting all your messages before they get sent to Protons servers. While you have only 1GB of storage with the free plan, upgrading it to Unlimited will give you access to a whopping 500GB of storage, and more custom domain support. We all know that an email account isn't only about sending and receiving messages. In a quest to cut Google out of your digital life for good, Proton has developed its encrypted calendar ( Proton Calendar ) and cloud storage ( Proton Drive ). The latter now also includes Proton Docs , a privacy-first alternative to Google Docs. Lastly, subscribing to Proton Ultimate will also give you access to its password manager tool, Proton Pass . Again, this will help you ditch Google's own tool as it supports 2FA, encrypted notes, and even email alias generation. This is a time-limited offer, so make sure not to miss the chance to give a serious boost to your digital security at a fraction of the price.
