It isn't just for IOS. You can get it for Android (I've been using it) and also PC.

Surprised this hasn't been posted before, I've been using it for sometime now. It's also available for Windows, Chrome, Firefox, and (soon) Mac.

can anyone recommend a good sms encryption app for iphone that doesn't require the other person to have the same app?

How would they receive the decrypted sms?

Can you watch other countries versions of Netflix with this?

Why would you use this. I'm not very tech savy.

generally, vpns are used to either access content from another country (eg, US netflix in the UK), or to encrypt your web browsing so its harder for anyone trying to see where you're browsing, to do so. Basically, the most important thing you need to know about a VPN: It secures your device's internet connection to guarantee that all of the data you're sending and receiving is encrypted and secured from prying eyes.

Free with no ads? How are they making money? They pulling a sly one like hola?

I'm after a good free /cheap proxy so my sister in law who live on south Africa can access iplayer? Other than Hola as tried and not good?

Hi

Thanks a lot.

Have a google anyone who values their security stopped using it :disappointed:

This is how they make money:

Any ideas on if they log traffic?

I use hola purely for Netflix but I'd like to try something different. Has anyone used this for streaming? Are the connections quick enough or is it throttled?

Surely that would defeat the wholewhole purpose of using a VPN, or am I missing something?

This is brilliant unlike like others out there

There is video ad to watch when you connect

There is video ad to watch when you connect

lol as if one ad inside an app would cover the cost of setting up and maintaining high bandwidth data centres around the world. Most likely retaining and selling your data, or doing the same as Hola.

great find :smiley: for your android browser i would highly recommend fire.onion. It is a working tor based browser

How do I use it on Android? When I try to connect to any country it shows me the Go Premium message. If I just connect to it without selecting a country it connects fine but my location remains as UK

Whoops - I tried adding the website link to the description but the submit button wasn't working. Naturally, I clicked it multiple times out of frustration and now it's also been submitted multiple times :confused:

If services like this are for free, then the user is the product through which they are making the money. Gotta be careful with VPNs. Someone is monitoring the traffic.

Right now I am using the ZenMate VPN (free for 1 days), anyone know from experience which is better?

This works really well if you are using Kodi too.

Which ISP do you use?

​thank for heads up..

​Cheers I'll check it out

how is this different from TOR

More because they are legally obliged to, and they know from experience that it does not really hit subscriber numbers much. http://www.wired.com/2016/01/vpn-crackdown-wont-affect-subscriber-numbers-netflix-says/

Here in the UK we have Netflix, Amazon Video and Now TV all competing for exclusives, so hence not every show is available in any one streaming service. TV/Films are licenced for a set area, i.e. USA, UK, France, and so on, take as an example something like Lost, it stated off on channel 4 then sky bought the rights for the UK market. Sky are the only ones permitted to show it in the UK, until the exclusivity period expired, so the Likes of Netflix and Amazon Video have to try and lock out viewers where they are not licenced to show a series.

These broadcasters pay a lot of money to have this exclusive content to try and get more subscribers, they are not afraid to litigate if they need to on each other to enforce that exclusivity..

Is there a free VPN service that allows you to connect via an Indian IP address? The only one I've found with the option so far is Hola but doesn't work.

I assume you made a lot of valid points but I got bored 3 sentences in and stopped reading.

been reading the reviews for the firefox add-on, doesn't inspire confidence.
anybody here, actually used it on a pc as a browser add-on?

Then you may not be an ideal customer for TV box sets. :smiley:

Executive Summary: Its happening because they have to, and none of the companies will not lose many subscribers at all.

And it is because you 'Bore' so easily that your 'logic' is flawed.!!
There is a trade-off between 'Effort made' and 'Knowledge obtained'.
There are very few means to obtain Knowledge for no or little effort.

I would suggest you work on raising your 'Boredom' threshold as it will serve you well for the rest of your life.

[I 'expect' you will not be able to read this either!! ..... your loss unfortunately but just in case you reach here. Well Done!!]

This is really good for school when the school wifi doesn't allow YouTube or online games. Just connect the VPN and it works a treat!

For now, as Netflix are blocking it, and don't forget Hula is also selling some of you your bandwidth to other people too, and was implicated in a botnet attack.

Not quite. a VPN can be used to make your device appear elsewhere in the world, so you can watch US TV in the UK.

You can't really use a VPN to watch blocked UK cannels in the UK, that's probably down to the level of the subscription, but you can use it to watch movies form another country if you have a valid subscription in that country.

However if its a Digi box it would then be in the other country so you may not get UK content (ie UK movies or iPlayer) as your IP would appear to be in that another country.

Many of the VPN solutions are simply a way to circumvent legal blocks, and the VPN software destination may be blocked by your ISP regardless of what you are using it for. Another thing to consider is a VPN only secures the data to the destination, and that's the VPN providers site, what they do with it is another matter, they have full access to see what you browse. While pretty remote there still a chance that the company hosting the VPN could be legally required to cough up your data, what they have in logs depends on what they state in their policies and where they are legally based.

Read a lot about vpn's . Which is the best one for Kodi ATM. Does this free one do the biz or would I need a premium sub?

Nice use of exclamation marks. Bravo

I wonder why since the news of this vpn ban Netflixs shares have bottomed out at a 6 month low.

Shares today are 97.05 down a little over 6 months ago but then the markets are downsince the start o the year over worries in China generally. The last 6 months price has been a yoyo between 95 and 130. Netflix started announcing bans in the first quarter of 2015, so you need to be looking a little further back and April/ May the shares were trading in the 60 to 80 mark, and the 52 week low is around the 60 mark.

Your right there is concern where growth will come from and a lot of of that is due to the Asia markets where there is rapid growth becoming very jittery but most of the major analyst still recommend them as a buy at the moment
