    Does this work with P2P? If so is there a limit and what kind of speed should I expect if I normally get 1mb/sec downloads?

    I wouldn't recommend it for P2P. You can expect considerably slower speeds. I have got an 8mb connection that usually will get around 7mb on speedtest. Using Black VPN I get around 1mb if lucky. It's fine for watching shows on the laptop but not a lot else.

    Also I'm pretty sure it says somewhere in the T&C that if you're found to be using it for P2P that they will terminate your contract.

    Infact Black VPN is not as good as it was...not atm anyway. On iPhone and iPad performance has got more disappointing too.

    crazy talk!
    Plastered on their site is this:Download torrents without worries from our EU server!
    What I want to know is what speeds people get with it. If I was getting 1mb a sec I'd be delighted.

    I guess if its fast enought to stream video its probably good enough. Does anyone have any reported speed differences?

    You should get it in body of the email that they send your invoice out with. Maybe do don't get one when you're only signing up for the first time?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 331 ✭✭darkestlord


    No Problem anyway. Anyone here get tv catchup with this. It works fine with the iplayer but not with tv catchup. Thanks

    Nope the tvcatchup people are much too cunning. They seem to recognise blackvpn and block it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 331 ✭✭darkestlord


    Found something similar to tvcatchup. I'll try it later.

    I'm wondering if anyone can help me. My OH signed up to BlackVPN in December and it was working away perfectly until now. Expiry date is March 2011 but I can't connect. Any suggestions or is anyone else having problems? Only noticed it wasn't connecting yesterday but had been working fine last week. I'm lost :( Already tried uninstalling & reinstalling but no luck. Any help would be really appreciated!

    I know they put a message on their facebook saying that their US servers were down.
    US servers down. Hosting provider cut off our servers due to too many DMCA violations. Should be back online again today. Sorry!

    Copyright Violations
    Although we do not monitor the traffic, incoming or outgoing connections of our users we may assign users to a unique IP address and log which user was assigned which IP address at a given time. If we receive a copyright violation notice from the appropriate copyright holder then we will forward the violation to the offending user and may terminate their account.

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of The Netherlands.

    I find the service, 'okay', as I see a lot of forums and direct file download sites now blacklist their servers. I mainly use the EU site.

    Yep you can't use referral codes more then once. So if you want to get 3 months for 5e, you just use a different email + referral code :)

    I renewed mine about 3 weeks ago, took the Global Package this time and used my own referal code from when I originally signed up.

    It was accepted no problem so I got four months for the price of one with the referral time reward added on.

    Also, my code has been used more than once - go figure :confused:

    Can't understand why others seem to be only able to their use code once.

    Has anyone been able to connect to Blackvpn using DD-WRT enabled router? I have tried the settings posted on this tread but still getting the 'Not avaiable in your area' when trying to play content via MSN Player on iomega DX media player browser.

    I was able to the connect OK using my PC, but since flashing my router to DD-WRT am not able to connect

    Can the UK server be used for torrenting or do you have to get the netherlands server for it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 171 ✭✭Ubaroo

    In theory you could but BlackVPN doesn't allow it, you have to use the Dutch or Lithuanian server for P2P downloading.

    It can, but afaik you need software like TVersity or Playon on your pc to stream to PS3. Speeds are grand on it, can be a little slow to connect to websites initially but otherwise fine.
