Getting sold out - didn't last long

whiterebel

Seems to be back again?

akamossie

nice one - thanks

CreepingDeath

Interesting.

Although looking at the map here it looks like they don't have a VPN server in the UK.

So you probably can't get the BBC Player/English content to work over the VPN.

akamossie

there is a UK server - Hampshire which i am currently connected to

skydish79

Does it have a middle East or North African server?

Yes, it does the UK just great. I have just popped it on my ipad - it works a treat. Iplayer works fine and an advert for itv player has just popped up on boards. So even boards think I'm in the uk.

I was charged €14.68

Less than a fiver a year.

Damn good deal......

CreepingDeath

Thanks OP and others who replied to my queries.

Pulled the trigger on this one, for $19 you can't go wrong, even if it just lets the missus watch BBC player on her iPad.

I'll just have to watch out in 3 years for any recurring charges at full price!

Their linux app looks like it just supports Intel x386 chips, so I probably can't install it on my NAS drive directly.

could this be put on an xbox or ps3? I can get iplayer on tablet using cyberghost.

PS3 and Xbox dosn't have VPN capability but you may need to check if your router (wifi) does. if it is, then anything that is connected to the wifi is connected to the VPN.

i just bought it this morning and working like a charm on my phone. i will set it up later on my tablet, laptop and router.

Just signed up for the 10 day trial to see what it's like. It says the trial has unlimited bandwidth, but I'm getting significantly slower speeds while connected.

Not connected:
Ping - 28
Down - 30 Mbps
Up - 8 Mbps

Connected:
Ping - 122
Down - 8 Mbps
Up - 5 Mbps

Anyone else have that problem?

akamossie

I have tested through my phone at the moment and here are the results:

Not connected:
Ping - 92
Down - 7.11 Mbps
Up - 1.60 Mbps

Connected:
Ping - 76
Down - 7.56 Mbps
Up - 1.30 Mbps

seems alright to me

Thanks OP, I also got a license code but I am using another service at the moment which is good for a few more months. Does anybody know if there is a time limit to use the license code?

akamossie

reading through the comments from the offer - one of the reps said "Licenses will expire after 60 days so you'll need to redeem within that period"

barry181091

Great offer OP! Was using CyberGhost before this and they are great too, this price is unbeatable though.

UPDATE: The android app is seamless. Connected to Hampshire server and got ~30Mbps down, from ~35 native.

Can you set this up on your router? Any instructions on how to do it?

Dcully

Bought it and installed and far from impressed,slows connection down far too much even with the Uk server selected

For some reason speeds are pretty close to normal now so scratch that.

Just reading the comments in the StackSocial thread here..

Chase Walsh • 6 days ago
do I have to use your client or can I use the stock OpenVPN GUI?

Alla Kapelnytska • 5 days ago
Yes, you do. You can only access to VPN Unlimited via appropriate application.

"Alla" seems to be responding to all the tech support questions on the thread so I assume she worked there.

So you probably cannot use a standard OpenVPN client.

Blog posting with further information

Do you allow the use of torrents and file-sharing traffic on all of your VPN Unlimited servers?

The primary goal of VPN Unlimited is not to download torrents, but to offer online security. There are limited cases, when our technical team had to decrease the connection speed because of the torrenting. VPN Unlimited is not oriented to be used widely for torrenting and file-sharing purposes only, but we believe that your online 100% guaranteed safety is our top priority and our customers’ top priority as well.

Wish I'd read those comments before purchasing. Seems to disconnect after 45 minutes on a Mac

My setup (ADSL) is this:

Phone -> Modem -> Homeplugs through house -> Bridge -> TV/Xbox/Freesat PVR

I take it that if I want the Freesat PVR to use the UK VPN (for iPlayer etc), I need to configure the Modem?
Or do I configure the PVR network settings?

None it seems.
I'm at work and haven't tried anything out yet, but at first glance it looks like they only support Windows, a PC running Linux, Android and iPhone.

No direct support for the router, eg running DD-WRT with OpenVPN,
no ARM chip version of their application so it won't run on a NAS box or Raspberry Pi.

Might run on one of those Android TV dongles though I imagine.

I went ahead and purchased it but I'm still getting very disappointing speeds while connected.

irishgeo

Thanks

Got this today, don't really have a big use for it but one thing was being able to use skygo when outside the UK and Ireland. However I've been trying it with skygo this evening and itv etc still won't play (they are UK geolocked) when going through the UK server which probably means nothing will work when outside the UK/Ireland.

Edit: unless it's the fact it's an Irish account rather then location.

fulhamc

I bought this and just watched motd on iplayer, no probs

wawaman

Where is the "offers" area where i have to paste the licence code?
Never mind found it !!

messinkiapina

I'm having terrible problems with this. I can connect with the android app but it's slows my connection down horribly, and doesn't seem to allow torrents at all, I've tried several different servers. Using my laptop I can't even connect to a server! My cyberghost (which is about to expire soon) works flawlessly. Not happy!

messinkiapina

Seems that if I try connecting with the windows app on my laptop, my router has a hissy fit. It not only kills the internet connection on my laptop, but on my tablet too?! It's like the desktop app is messing up my router or something? Anyone got a clue what's happening there?

coldfire1x

Signed up for this, it may come handy someday.

Downside - it blocks torrents, speed is on the slow side.

Plus side - It works.

CreepingDeath

Hmmm... the shine has gone off this bargain alert now that I'm trying it.

Old Android tablet running 2.3.1 - Incompatible
Old iPad 1 running iOS 5.1.1 - incompatible
Old HTC Desire HD Phone - incompatible
Router level support - no
Linux on ARM chipset - no

So if you're not running IOS 6+, and probably later versions of Android, then the apps will refuse to even install.

Very poor device support.

No torrents....

Pants!!!!!!

messinkiapina

It is pants. Really slow and no torrents. I wish I'd waited for another cyberghost deal.

Does cyberghost allow connection to the torrent sites that Eircom block?
Do VPN services generally allow access to torrent sites via Eircom?
I have never used one of these VPN/Proxy services.

Thanks.

I'm closing this thread before it descends into a torrent discussion or avoiding isp restrictions.
