While you're at it, don't forget to sign the petition at https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/173199 to get this draconian legislation repealed, and contact your MP to ensure that they know your feelings on the matter. Don't allow your privacy to be removed without incident.

Can you add this to an existing subscription?
Edit - Yes you can!

You can even stack subscriptions, I bought a renew to kick in on 17/12/2016 a few weeks ago for £20 on a renew special taking subscription up to 17/12/2017. I just added this at £13 and subscription now up to 17/12/2018 - 2 yrs for less than price of one - Cheers OP.

Question: Can this be used on a kodi box? I'm wondering if the android OS has the VPN options in settings?

yes can be added to an existing sub but make sure you are logged on before you buy. the final conformation screen at the checkout will show the end date of your membership with the deal added. you can screen grab this for backup if you want.
Can you use this to change your UK ip? Repeatedly? Not just the once I mean but several times a browsing session.
Thanks!

The speed is low!

Using OpenVPN software I get 70Mb down over a FTTC Infinity Fibre 78Mb connection. I wouldn't call that slow with the overhead.
I suspect your VPN software is lacking resources....

Cheers, been using this for years. Didn't know you could add to existing subscription. Heated!

I am talking about Cyber ghost VPN. I get maximum speed of 10 Mb!

Yep so was I. Sorry should have stated "I get 70Mb down using OpenVPN software with CyberGhost" - You do NOT have to use their software, and in fact I haven't as I use Linux and am forced to use third party software.
If you are stating that CyberGhost VPN software is slow, then I cannot comment, but their VPN speed is fine.

Already signed, but while we await the repeal, VPN's and Iron Browser for instance help keep you private

Thanks for the info. Any suggestion of good VPN software for windows 10?

Sign the pettition ad you'll deffo need a good VPN....! lol Nice find OP... I signed so need it!
I haven't been a Windows user for some years, but I believe that Windows 10 has L2TP with IPSec clients builtin. You would possibly be better going that route as it's native to Windows...

The CyberGhost client has a built-in kill switch and application hooking (So it can connect your vpn connection before allowing that app to execute)
Tbh it's a pretty solid client for Windows. I had to jump through hoops to get the same configuration working on Linux :l

Horses for courses I guess, the downloadable Linux openvpn.ovpn config file worked pretty much out the box for me.
The Kill-Switch and application hooking sound useful, but usage patterns will differ.
I tend to throw pretty much all traffic down the tunnel now... especially in the light of recent legislation changes.

I've been using this for over 2 years now and it works really well. I've run download speed checking programs with and without and there is hardly any difference. Mind you, I'm only on a 13Mb/s line so I can't say how it will affect a really fast connection. I've got nearly another year to run on my present subscription, but as you can stack subscriptions I have added this. Can't complain at only just over £1 a month.

When I connect to this VPN via the android app, my hotspot stops working. What's that all about? I NEED my android mobile hotspot

Another VPN I found Ivacy which is on 87% off on this Black Friday. This is some deep discount. You will get 1 year free and it comes in only $1.5 per month.
Opening post
I read up on VPN's about a year ago and it seemed like among the cheaper ones, Cyber Ghost was one of the better ones. Best was Private Internet Access, which also has a Black Friday sale on for £24 - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/private-internet-access-vpn-subscription-1-yr-29-00-approx-23-96-2556463
