Alternatively you can buy lifetime PureVPN here for $89 (a little over £73) or 2 years for $59, so roughly the same price: https://stacksocial.com/sales/lifetime-of-purevpn

Not sure how they compare to PureVPN, but you could also go for one of the following:
VPN Unlimited - Lifetime $29 (£24) / 3 year $19 (£16) - https://stacksocial.com/sales/vpn-unlimited-lifetime-subscription
OneVPN - Lifetime $29 (£24) - https://stacksocial.com/sales/onevpn-lifetime-subscription
AnonVPN - Lifetime $19.01 (£16) at time of posting, price changes as it is beat the average / 1 year $1 - https://stacksocial.com/sales/pay-what-you-want-vpn-lifetime-bundle

Cyberghost is a good VPN, currently on sale at £19.35 for 1 year Premium or £30.10 for 1 year Premium Plus - http://www.cyberghostvpn.com/

I did have Cyberghost VPN last year and their Windows software is really good, but couldn't get it working on DD-WRT. I bought VPN Unlimited lifetime from above when my last one run out, it supports 5 devices, has a reasonable Windows app, not as good as Cyberghost but not bad, Android app is also easy to use. I did get VPN Unlimited working on DD-WRT (it counts as one device from the five limit), but it lost connection after a while and doesn't auto-reconnect and is awkward if you ever want to change servers. The apps work far better for VPN Unlimited.

When connected to Cyberghost VPN, whatismyipaddress.com does not identify it as a VPN or Proxy on most of the servers. In comparison, VPN Unlimited seems to always get identified as "Suspected Network Sharing Device".

Sorry to hijack the thread a little, just want to help others make informed decisions, not tried PureVPN as my current solution works for me. Will be interested to hear comments from PureVPN users or people who have done more comparisons on VPNs than I have. Also interested to know how PureVPN identifies on whatismyipaddress.com or other similar sites and services, if they identify that a service might be running.

USA VPN good for US Netflix?

I changed my account to this deal. The price is in dollar making this a better deal.

I subscribed to this for a trip to China, didn't work once via the Android app. I then subscribed to Private Internet Agent which worked like a treat. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Do they allow you to get around geo blocked content like Hulu and BBC iPlayer?

Just don't use it when in Dubai/UAE !

Thank you. But I would use it in a DD-WRT router, not in an app. US Netflix still possible? I'm wary because so far only ExpressVPN has proven reliable for US Netflix.

Yes there are special US server addresses for Netflix. You can manually setup it in routers and SmartTVs.

Ok, I'll try it!

Yes. All VPNs were blocked by Netflix in Feb 2016. Few VPNs have come up with different servers for Netflix. PureVPN has also started working since last few weeks.

Thanks for promptly addressing my concern. I was a little skeptical about this very concern, because here in Canada Netflix has a rather restricted content library (which I totally dread), and wanted to access the US Netflix. And lastly, as you mentioned they have the no logs policy, that seems a plus to me considering others don't have it.

Better than tunnelbear?

would this work on a vpn client router?

How does this work with plusnet internet and router

Interesting
..................

I've gone for it and I'm impressed, it's really fast and simple to use

Can I extend my existing account with this deal?

Been using PureVPN for a couple of months now and it's pretty good. Mainly use it for UK VPN, sometimes when I'm in the UK, and can't say I've ever had any problems. Connects pretty quick and whatever time I check, there's always someone there on live chat

This VPN service is a scam, never worked, and when I asked to be reimbursed, they refused. Stirr away!

Anyone know any VPN that will work in China? Paid or free? Only for Facebook/google/YouTube.

I bit and paid my $60 for 2 years. Doesn't work in DD-WRT. Support can't understand why. Going to ask for refund I think.

Been using this for months. Does the job. They have some servers that give almost full connection speeds, but also some that do not by any stretch.

Can anyone confirm Netflix US (from the UK) is working with these guys? I have an Asus router with Merlin flashed so could set it there, obviously I want to watch it on the big telly, not the PC...

If so, is the bandwidth there for Ultra HD?

Ta.

If using for security change your DNS settings to a neutral provider such as Open NIC DNS. Avoid companies like Google who retain your lookup history. If you don't change your DNS you will not be anonymous.

Does this work well with Kodi on fire TV box?

Netflix have not blocked vpns at all they have systems in place to block smartdns through their apps (as in smart TV app, xbox) but they can not detect VPN used through users watching directly from the website.

Thanks for all the info etc. I was just about to purchase a VPN subscription through Stacksocial, but noticed they have some really poor reviews on Trustpilot :disappointed:

https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/stacksocial.com

Ironsocket = best VPN service I ever used. 3 simultaneous logins (can share VPN between 3 different households) they give you proxy access for torrenting and smartdns​ and....it's only £30 a year on offer, much better than on what's offer from pure vpn

Actually, scrub that!

I couldn't resist and took a chance. Went through ok, and I used a 10% discount code to get a lifetime subscription with VPN Unlimited for just $26, or £21.

Looks ok so far, and tested the Torrenting which seems ok too, good speeds. The subscription allows for installation on 5 devices as well, so I have just installed on my Android phone too.

Just noticed, if you bought the Lifetime Subscription deal directly through the VPN Unlimited website, the same package would cost you $129.99! So definetly worth purchasing through stacksocial!

Thanks Op!

Really should change my vpn, I'm paying nearly a fiver per month!

Do you use Netflix? If so, does this work - I've seen conflicting reviews.

Glad it is working for you. I have it installed on two Android boxes as well as a PC, one thing I forgot to mention is that you can do the basics using an Android box remote. Obviously going through the menu to change servers is easier with a mouse, but you can connect/disconnect easily with remote. That is one failing I had with Cyberghost, you really needed a mouse. Also, the Android app seems to automatically disable IPv6, meaning whatismyipaddress.com sees only the VPN IPv4 address. Cyberghost free version for Android does not (Premium probably does as you get more options) so it is pretty useless really for Android as websites can still see your real IPv6 address.

Getflix - lifetime access for around £30. Google getflix offers.... very good vpn imo.

if I wanted this for netflix I'm guessing I'd have to set it up on laptop or have a fancy router? I'm getting a skyq router soon and I'm guessing that will be impossible to change any of the required settings?

I see now they have blocked some data centres, however no problems here using netflix US as we speak. I used to be with PIA such a rip off compared to alternatives, would highly recommend ironsocket you get far, far more for your money and there cheaper if you find discount codes

I wouldn't bother. there DNS service centre gets flagged regularly which leads to service failure. I got the deal last year and just gave up on it. there's also no ability to set dynamic DNS for multiple apps and locations. customer service is slow as hell . get Getflix. much better. much cheaper but most of all reliable.

Yes it does - intermittently. One of the better ones... problem is netflix keep chasing the VPSs and shutting down the work arounds. So depends how good the VPN is at fixing issues and getflix seems one of the better ones. Works great with region TV channels.

cool thanks. £30 for life seems amazing. If it lasts a year it will be enough really. I'll give their free trial a go tonight

I bought it through stacksocial... with a discount code. So look out for that :smiley:. Not sure if the deal is available direct via them.

Had it over a year now.

top result on google said $39 and there is a 10% code as well so will probably work out about the same. Hoping I can get other eu netflix regions as well

I have an old router that I think I can change the dns settings for. Would I be able to connect this to my main router somehow and have it act as a second access point. So I could get normal netflix on the main router but different on the second? or will it not work like that?

if you go for a dynamic DNS provider. that's not purevpn.

If it's just to access the UK from abroad all you need is a VPN capable router and you could do what you want for free!

doesn't seem to work for me. From the article it seems I have to add static routs to my router which I can't do with mine. Is that how you use it or do you use the vpn service? Maybe that will work but they don't let you test it on the free trial unfortunately

Went for VPN Unlimited in the end, so far its certainly faster than slickVPN although only a few servers allow torrents.

Get an extra 10% discount by using promo code "DISCOUNT10"
Hot for me

Been looking at this vpn, I used to have cyberghost which I got on well with,, then after sub run out I tried PIA,, but it didn't play well with WiFi,kept knocking it off and for me seemed to have to enter alot of captchas on some torrent sites.

So anyone noticed having to enter capchas on sites with pure?
And does it have a kill switch by any chance?

Thanks, :smiley:

EDIT: read it does have a kill switch

120mb is actually very impressive on a vpn! Mines only a 50mb connection so I cannot comment on whether it would give you near full on 200mb. I'd say I doubt it.

What are your personal experience with VPN Unlimited or VPN Forever??

https://stacksocial.com/sales/vpn-unlimited-lifetime-subscription
https://stacksocial.com/sales/vpn-forever-lifetime-subscription?aid=a-acj1xxje

They seems to be offering a Lifetime Subscription deal for $29, which does seem awfully low priced for the promise of lifetime VPN services for up to 5 devices.

I've read on this thread a few people have signed up, so should be interesting to gauge responses after a couple weeks of usage.

Is the connection consistent or does it frequently drop? Is torrenting any good. ie) does the VPN offer upto 90% of your connection speed?

Having read through their T&C's they confirm that they do keep some logs https://www.keepsolid.com/terms
