NordVPN's eSIM goes premium

Nord Security has launched its most complete eSIM plan designed for total cybersecurity protection abroad – Saily Ultra. This is Saily's most premium plan and it's created by the team behind our best VPN, NordVPN. With Saily Ultra, subscribers get unlimited global eSIM data is on offer, along with a range of premium cybersecurity tools and special benefits for travelers. Plans include monthly subscriptions to NordVPN, NordPass, NordLocker, and Incogni – but it doesn't come cheap. Saily Ultra costs $59.99 per month, far more expensive than any NordVPN plan. Saily Ultra | Premium eSIM | $59.99 per month Saily Ultra grants you up to 30 GB of high-speed data per month, as well as unlimited low-speed data in 113 countries. You can change your location and protect your data from trackers. Plans include NordVPN, NordPass, NordLocker, and Incogni, plus extra perks, and costs $59.99 per month. Saily is a secure eSIM offering mobile data coverage in 200+ countries. The Ultra plan grants you 30 GB of high-speed data every month, with unlimited data after this is used up. Speeds are capped at 1 Mbps for this unlimited data, though. 113 destinations are covered by unlimited eSIM connectivity, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Saily has built-in cybersecurity features including an ad blocker and web protection which blocks malicious sites and limits trackers. In late 2024, Saily introduced Virtual Location and this allows users to change their browsing location. Over 115 locations are available and your traffic will be routed through one of NordVPN's encrypted servers. However, Saily Ultra throws in almost all cybersecurity tools Nord Security has to offer. You'll get monthly subscriptions to NordVPN – our pick for best travel VPN. You'll benefit from super fast speeds of 900 Mbps, protection for up to 10 devices, and over 8,000 servers across 126 countries. NordVPN is one of the best streaming VPNs thanks to its powerful unblocking capabilities. So no matter where you are abroad, you'll be able to watch your favorite shows as if you were sitting on the couch at home. You'll also get NordPass, one of the best password managers, 1 TB of encrypted cloud storage with NordLocker, and the data removal service Incogni. Saily said users are given subscriptions to the NordVPN Ultra plan. A standalone NordVPN Ultra plan is currently a Canadian-exclusive and costs CA$7.71 per month, with a free CA$50 Amazon gift card thrown in, thanks to our exclusive deal. If you're in America and want all these features, but not Saily, you'd need to subscribe to a NordVPN Complete plan for $4.62 per month. Incogni is then an extra $4.28 per month add-on, bringing your total monthly cost to $8.90. You can explore all NordVPN's features in our NordVPN review and our NordVPN prices and plans page compare everything offered by the provider. NordVPN: Amazon gift cards + 4 months FREE NordVPN is our pick for #1 VPN overall, combining speed, security, privacy, and power. There's over 8,000 servers worldwide and protection for up to 10 devices. Until August 12, thanks to our EXCLUSIVE DEAL, plans start from $2.91 per month ($81.36 up front pre-tax). All plans include 4 extra months of protection and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Premium plans include free Amazon gift cards worth up to $50. Saily Ultra's exclusive perks go beyond just cybersecurity. 8% cashback, in the form of Saily credits, will be granted on all data purchases – other Saily users get 5%. Ultra subscribers will also get priority access to Saily's 24/7 support team, ensuring you get the fastest fix for your problem. With Saily Ultra, you'll have access to airport lounges in selected airports and a fast-track service at security and check-in. Saily says these perks are coming soon and will let users know when they are ready. Saily Ultra is billed monthly and you can cancel your subscription up to two days before your next payment. "The Saily Ultra plan is designed for travelers who demand the best, blending convenience, premium service, and innovation," said Vykintas Maknickas, CEO of Saily. "We're taking care of your connectivity needs, increasing online privacy and security, and providing extra luxuries on the go – all in one plan." Whether Saily Ultra is worth it depends on how frequently you travel and how much data you'll use. Saily says Ultra is "ideal for frequent and business travelers, as well as digital nomads." So for most people, regular Saily plans and regular NordVPNs represent better value. A high-speed data limit of 30 GB is somewhat disappointing considering the price you're paying. For comparison, 20 GB of data for 30 days in the UK is $31.99. 30 days of unlimited UK data is $71.99 but only 5 GB per day is high-speed. Regardless of whether Saily Ultra is for you or not, a VPN and eSIM are the perfect companions for trips abroad. Free public Wi-Fi can be exploited by hackers and this risk is heightened when you're in an unfamiliar country. Using secure data via an eSIM means you can avoid Wi-Fi altogether but should you need to connect to it, a VPN will ensure your data is encrypted and hidden from prying eyes. Using a VPN to connect to your home country means you can browse the web and access your usual sites and apps in the same way you would normally. Additional cybersecurity protections mean all your devices remain protected, no matter where you are. We test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example: 1. Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service). 2. Protecting your online security and strengthening your online privacy when abroad. We do not support or condone the illegal or malicious use of VPN services. Consuming pirated content that is paid-for is neither endorsed nor approved by Future Publishing.

To Bundle or Not to Bundle: Your Guide to VPNs and Other Cybersecurity Service Packages

Even though VPN bundle subscriptions have been around for a few years now, the trend is showing no signs of slowing down. A handful of the companies we've traditionally thought of as 'VPN companies' are becoming much more than just VPN companies. They're essentially rebranding as comprehensive cybersecurity solutions -- a one-stop shop to cover all of your online privacy and security needs. But there's an abundance of bundles, and it can sometimes be challenging to tell which ones offer the services you need at a good value for comprehensive cybersecurity protection. Ultimately, it comes down to your specific use and needs, as well as your budget. I've spent a decade reviewing VPNs, specifically, and have dabbled in reviews of other cybersecurity services like password managers. Based on that cumulative experience, I've laid out the most notable VPN bundles available, along with recommendations for both bundles and a la carte options, with the help of some reviews from other CNET colleagues, particularly for antivirus services. Breaking down the bundles Each VPN provider that offers bundled services delivers a slightly different suite of tools. The providers of note here are Proton, Nord Security, Surfshark and ExpressVPN. Here is what each offers and what each one charges for its basic VPN plan as well as bundled subscription options. (Note that ExpressVPN currently doesn't offer a tiered pricing structure.) Proton Proton is for the privacy purist who wants comprehensive privacy and security protections from a trailblazer in privacy tool bundling. VPN Plus: $10 per month, $48 for the first year (then $80 per year) or $72 for the first two years combined (then $80 per year) VPN Proton Unlimited: $13 per month, $120 per year or $192 for the first two years combined (then $120 per year) VPN Password manager Encrypted cloud storage Secure email Encrypted calendar Nord Security (NordVPN) NordVPN is excellent for power users and anyone who wants a premium bundle that ticks many boxes. While its Threat Protection Pro anti-malware protection isn't a full-fledged antivirus solution, it comes close and has been approved by AV Comparatives as a reliable anti-phishing tool. Basic: $13 per month, $60 for the first year (then $139 per year) or $81 for the first two years combined (then $140 per year) VPN Plus: $14 per month, $72 for the first year (then $180 per year) or $105 for the first two years combined (then $180 per year) VPN Anti-malware protection Password manager Complete: $15 per month, $84 for the first year (then $219 per year) or $129 for the first two years combined (then $219 per year) VPN Anti-malware protection Password manager Encrypted cloud storage Prime: $18 per month, $108 for the first year (then $372 per year) or $177 for the first two years combined (then $372 per year) VPN Anti-malware protection Password manager Encrypted cloud storage ID protection Surfshark Surfshark is great for budget-conscious users looking for unique bundling options that include antivirus, private search and a personal detail generator. However, Surfshark is the only VPN company listed here that doesn't include a password manager. Starter: $15.45 per month, $48 for the first 15 months (then $79 per year) or $54 for the first 27 months (then $79 per year) VPN Personal detail generator One: $18 per month, $51 for the first 15 months (then $99 per year) or $67 for the first 27 months (then $99 per year) VPN Personal detail generator Antivirus Data leak alerts Private search One-plus: $20.65 per month, $91 for the first 15 months (then $119 per year) or $108 for the first 27 months (then $119 per year) VPN Personal detail generator Antivirus Data leak alerts Private search Data removal ExpressVPN ExpressVPN is somewhat of an outlier because it doesn't have a tiered pricing model and only offers a VPN, password manager and ID protection tools. It's also expensive, but if you're looking for one of the best VPNs on the planet and a capable password manager, then ExpressVPN is a solid bet. Monthly: $13 per month VPN Password manager Yearly: $100 per year (initial term lasts 15 months) VPN Password manager Dark web scanner ID theft insurance Credit scanner Two-year: $140 for the first 28 months (then $117 per year) VPN Password manager Dark web scanner ID theft insurance Credit scanner Monthly credit report Data removal VPN bundles at a glance Here's a look at what each VPN provider offers. Proton Nord Security (NordVPN) Surfshark ExpressVPN VPN ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ Password manager ✔️ ✔️ X ✔️ Antivirus X ✔️ ✔️ X Encrypted cloud storage ✔️ ✔️ X X Secure email ✔️ X X X ID protection X ✔️ X ✔️ Personal detail generator X X ✔️ X Recommended á la carte options The possibilities are virtually endless, but if you're set against bundling with a single provider, I've put together three potential á la carte packages for you to consider based on CNET's recommended VPN, password manager and antivirus services to help you get started in your search for the optimal combination for your needs. (Pricing is calculated based on each service's annual price, with renewal prices noted immediately after.) Package 1: The budget-friendly package This is the package for you if you're looking for a quality package that won't break the bank. VPN: Surfshark Password manager: Bitwarden Antivirus: Malwarebytes Total: $93 for the first year, then $134 per year Package 2: The power-user package This package is great if you're looking for services that offer a variety of features and work on lots of devices. VPN: NordVPN Password manager: Keeper -- $40 Antivirus: McAfee Total: $130 for the first year, then $270 per year Package 3: The premium package This package is for you if you want a first-class experience with well-rounded services that work perfectly out of the box and require a minimal learning curve. VPN: ExpressVPN Password manager: 1Password -- $36 Antivirus: Norton 360 with Lifelock Total: $166 for the first year, then $213 per year What to look for in a VPN bundle Trustworthiness and transparency You have to put an enormous amount of trust in your VPN provider that it's doing what it says it's doing to protect your privacy and that it's not logging your online activity when you use its VPN service. You need to similarly trust the VPN company to properly maintain and secure its bundled service offerings. Before choosing a provider, do some research -- read unbiased reviews, get to know the company behind the service and look for regular third-party audits of its services. A trustworthy company should be transparent about what it does to keep you safe online, how it does it and why it does it. If the company doesn't seem trustworthy or transparent about its purpose or processes, choose a different provider. Services offered Of course, you'll want a company that offers the specific services you need. Not all VPN companies offer the same bundled services, so choose one that best fits your needs. Even if it doesn't check all of the boxes, you can always get additional services separately. And VPN companies continue to expand their bundled service offerings, so if your VPN doesn't yet offer the service you need now, it may in the future. Clear privacy policies Before committing to a provider, make sure to take a look through its privacy policies. Each individual service may have its own separate privacy policy, so I recommend looking through each one to ensure its privacy practices are sound across the board. Even if you don't read through the entire thing, search the page for terms like 'data sharing' and 'data collection' to get information related to how the company handles your data when using each of its services. In general, the less sharing, the better. Ownership Do a little digging into the company or ownership group behind the services you're considering. Has the company ever suffered a data breach, data leak or been involved in any unscrupulous data collection or sharing activities? Has company ownership been involved in any legal cases? If so, what were the circumstances and how did the company handle the situation? If you uncover any red flags, proceed with caution. Final thoughts After reviewing VPNs for more than a decade, ExpressVPN, NordVPN, Proton VPN and Surfshark are among the providers I trust the most for privacy. I'm inclined to trust each one in the development of any additional privacy or security tool they offer now or in the future -- which is why I can enthusiastically recommend the bundled packages offered by each one. Each VPN I spoke with told me in one way or another that they're still planning on expanding their services to evolve with users' needs, which tells me that bundled services are here to stay and that we can look forward to even greater parity between providers in the future. Ultimately, to bundle or not to bundle will be a choice only you can make for yourself. I hope this was a useful starting point in your online privacy and security journey, but whichever route you choose to take, make sure to take the time to research the provider(s) you go with to ensure they're doing their part to deliver the protections you need.

VPN protection doesn't have to cost plenty. Better yet, it can cost less and provide more. The following NordVPN bundles offer more than a run-of-the-mill VPN. You get ad-blocking, malware protection, and bonus Nord Security software for ultimate security. Read on and learn how to hop on the hype train. Claim One of NordVPN's Discounts Here The provider's flexible pricing was always its strength. While the Basic plan emphasizes savings, it rids you of important features you'll find in other plans.

With NordVPN and Threat Protection Pro, you'll stay harmless among snoopers, malware, trackers, targeted ads, and other nasties. Moreover, the Plus plan includes NordPass, a password manager designed by Nord Security. The next tier adds NordLocker, one of the best-rated cloud storage options with zero-knowledge encryption.
