2 Months Free VPN (Post Your Code ONCE and ONCE ONLY!)

efb · 10-12-2010 9:34am

Gonna try this

BTW, for anyone with the US VPN package, you can sign up to Netflix for a months free trial.

You still have to give CC details but can cancel at any time.

I was under the impression that it only took US credit cards but it worked for me last night with my Irish one.

Well worth a look.:)

Thanks OP, used your code for my sign up.

In case anyone is interested I got the settings from BlackVPN to set up a router flashed with open source DD-WRT firmware which allows you to use the router as a VPN router.

There is a large range of routers which can use this firmware the database is here.

I'm waiting to get a router off a mate so that I can set it up but it should be very handy for sharing the VPN connection on the home network and by wireless.

I haven't checked them yet but the settings I was given are:

PPTP Server: Disable
PPTP Client Options: Enable
Server IP or DNS Name: vpn.blackvpn.xxx (replace with correct server) Remote Subnet: 0.0.0.0 Remote Subnet Mask: 0.0.0.0 MPPE Encryption: mppe required,no40,no56,stateless
MTU: 1450
MRU: 1450
NAT: Enable
Username: your blackVPN Username
Password: your blackVPN Password

BTW my referral code is: YEAVPAA

So in theory with this method, you could use the VPN through your PS3?

Yep, although I have tried to use BlackVPN with my new Sony BDP-S370 blu ray player and although the player's diagnostics says that I have network and internet access it does not connect with the Sony server so I suspect that Sony have the BlackVPN isp blocked. Not sure if that will effect you with the PS3.

If anyone has been able to connect a Sony Blu ray or TV via a VPN to get the BBC iplayer working I'd love to hear which VPN and settings they are using.

I'm curious as to how you were able to do this without a US mailing address.

Please let me know how to do this.

Thanks for this...sounds inetestering.

Just to double check....I can flash my router and use it as a vpn so that any device connected to it could use it...I could access bbc iplayer on the laptop and it would work as the laptop would be recognised with a uk ip via black vpn.

I think I can get bbc iplayer for my tv too so this could be class if my router supports this firmware.

Generally with these things you enter a fake address. Generally it does have to exist though. If you google some hotel or business in the US and use their address it will usually work in my experience.

My code :

Are people actually the free month associated with referrals? I'm not so far.

I posted my code on another thread in the summer and am still using BlackVPN from my initial €5 invetment in each of the UK and US versions.

As stated earlier in this thread, I have it for free until next May on both accounts! I`m presuming they made some error with my account as thats the guts of a year free on both services, but of course I`m not complaing.:)

What I am doing is not touching my primary router (It's not supported) and flashing another router to act as the VPN router I will then connect it by cable to the primary router. As long as the primary router has VPN pass through this should be no problem.

Then I can pick and choose which devices I want to connect by VPN or not.

If you ask around you will probably find someone with a supported router that they are no longer using or there are some cheap routers that are supported, e.g. my local computer shop has a D-Link DIR-600 for €25 that can be flashed.

How exactly does this work? Once I sign up, do I download a piece of software or is just a matter of signing in to the service through my browser.

Do a web search on VPN and read up on it. Then if you are interested enough, go to Black VPN's site and read their literature. They have support, FAQ's etc

No you don't need to download anything. You just follow the directions on the site to change one or two settings to your computer which is very easy to do and enter a username and password. It's only a matter of clicking a few keys really.

Essentially it just routes your internet traffic through their server in the country of your choice and it tricks websites you visit into believing that you are located in the US or UK etc. That then lets you can access sites that only allow traffic from specific locations like Hulu and BBC iplayer.

If youre worried it might be difficult , don't be. It's incredibly easy. It's also easy to do it on ipod touch, iphone or ipad in case you have one of those.

Wow.

You should work for Sky Cust. Service.:rolleyes:

Dman001 · 20-12-2010 8:43pm

Cheers guys, I did a Google on VPNs but didn't help much.

One question though is how will it affect my current connection? I intend to use the VPN but there are others in the house using the current connection. WIll they be affected in any way?

I'm just advising the poster to learn a bit about VPN, if you have to ask what it's all about then perhaps this offer is not for you. Also this is a bargain alert, not a tech support thread.

No offence man but I knew what a VPN was, basically a system that traffics my browsing through a foreign server. But I didn't know how it did it, was it through a piece of software or was it through my browser. I know now how it works.

Seemed obvious to me that the substantive part of the posters question pertained to whether he needed to download additional software to access BlackVPN .

That was answered by _Whimsical_.

My admittedly sarcastic riposte to your advice was based on the fact that, essentially, you told him to go look it up.

Christmas etc., let's all be pals eh?

Dman001, running BlackVPN on your PC should not impact on others on the network, as my laptop is currently using VPN and my netbook is running smoothly independent of VPN .
