With age verification laws landing in Florida in 2025, picking up a VPN is a good idea to make sure all that personal data you're having to input to access your regular sites and services remains as private as possible.

So, what makes a good VPN for Floridians? Well, there are a few considerations. Firstly, you'll want something fast, or at least fast enough so that it doesn't feel slower than your regular internet connection – and not just globally fast, but fast for use in Florida.

And last of all, well, it's Black Friday, you'll want a VPN with a great deal – and that's what we have below. These VPN deals are ones that tick all the boxes above: our top Florida VPN choices. Take a look:

How we measured Florida VPN speed

We set up a Windows 365 Cloud PC based in Virginia, USA, and connected to each VPN's Miami server using its fastest available VPN protocol. We recorded 5 speeds tests for each VPN on 4 different VPN platforms and quoted the median speed from the fastest of those speed test platforms.

This bar chart below shows the result. As ever, VPN speed testing is only record of a snapshot in time. Factors like network capacity vary for each VPN. However, the chart gives a decent indication of the faster VPN services available in Florida – and which ones might not perform so well.

Apart from these paid VPN Black Friday deals, you might also be wondering about the best free VPNs for Florida and you'd be right to consider them. While there are a tonne of free VPNs that you should avoid like the plague, there are also a handful of trustworthy cost-free services out there too.

Take a look at our best free VPN choices for a closer look but, in short, PrivadoVPN Free, Proton VPN Free and Windscribe Free are the best options.

You don't get everything for nothing, though. PrivadoVPN and Windscribe's free plans have limited usage. You get about 10 GB of traffic each month with either before they cut you off. So, if you're planning on streaming videos with your VPN or you're looking to use a VPN every day, then they're not a good choice.

Proton VPN Free has unlimited monthly usage but it's a bit slow. You don't get the same speedy service as regular Proton VPN. You also can't connect to a server of your choosing which might not be ideal if you're trying to access content from a specific location. For privacy protection and security, though, all three of these free plans are excellent.

Last we'd also recommend giving EventVPN a try if you really want something free. You'll have to suffer awful video adverts every time you connect and disconnect and it only works on iPhone at the moment but it is free, you can choose your server, and it does have unlimited data.

So, those are your choices. Now, get out there, and get safe!
