    Any idea which server for channel 4, or is that possible.

    You can't use a VPN for Channel 4. I got it to work by registering a UK address.

    Yes. When I first bought it 2 years ago, it didn't work for a bit but now all my traffic streaming on firestick goes through the vpn.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,860 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    Excellent, can pair this with my Shudder sub to finally get all the good US shows on Firestick :)

    Thanks OP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,464 ✭✭✭ibFoxer


    Can confirm, I have this for over a year now and it's fantastic. I paid something like €40 for it and it was worth that easily.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,860 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    lol I should have read OP more carefully, I entered the code they had on the link page "JUST20", rather than "VPNDEAL"

    Was wondering why it €18.25 instead of €14 ... still nice deal :D


    and here I was on the verge of signing up to NordVPN for €12/month

    Love to have BBC iPlayer on my firestick ,is this what I need ? And is it hard to install ? Many thanks peeps


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 528 ✭✭✭WhatsGoingOn2


    Doesn't work on BBC iPlayer for me. Have tried it on 3 different devices. All show an error 'This content is not currently available'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,916 ✭✭✭Marhay70


    Won't let me complete the purchase, no reason given. Do you have to pay with with paypal?

    I paid with paypal and no issues.

    I got that as well, tried ITV and that worked. Had a quick glance at the bbc faq and it says they try to block vpn's but I'd guess there's a workaround. Only have it 5 mins myself and am interested in being able to access bbc iplayer too

    Just got this and have iplayer working on windows laptop.

    Excellent bargain thanks OP

    Ok I managed to get it to work on my PC by logging in to the app on windows store. I clicked on servers, hit the streaming tab at the top and selected bbc iplayer.

    It still didn't work on Chrome but did on Firefox, so I may just need to clear my cache on Chrome. You do need to have a bbc account but I just used a random valid postcode. I used a London postcode rather than the usual northern Ireland one.

    Point to note, I had logged in on my browser earlier, but when I installed the app, it also counted as a device so there are now 2 devices in my account for the VPN so I will need to delete the earlier one to free up a slot. Not a big deal but just a heads up if you are setting up a few devices tonight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,575 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    Works fine on firestick for BBC IPlayer. Crackle also works with it.

    I pretty much a vpn noob so sorry if this is a silly question.Would this work on an Android TV box for an IPTV subscription?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,256 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins

    Yep. You can download the app from playstore

    i have Nord vpn 3 year contract left two years left, is this worth getting just to have if i use it when nord vpn is finished ?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,501 ✭✭✭Masala

    After installing on my PC, it says I have 4 slots out of 5 available, i.e. up to 5 devices in total.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 379 ✭✭FluffPiece


    5 devices per sub. You can add additional slots per account but it's far far cheaper to sign up to the deal again with a different email address for the €14 deal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,234 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    Bought, downloaded the Windows app as mentioned above, all golden. Got 3 minutes into an iPlayer episode and now seemingly no server will connect. Anyone having similar issues before I do a paypal chargeback?

    working perfectly for myself still close to an hour here.


  • Registered Users Posts: 275 ✭✭scottigael


    Ended up paying 16.80 with the tax added on? Was there a way to avoid it? Not that I mind paying the extra 2.80.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 379 ✭✭FluffPiece


    I saw that Scott, but if you pay with Paypal it's cheaper. $15 with Paypal

    You might have used card !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,204 ✭✭✭Roberto_gas


    What uses apart for getting restricted content is there for the vpn ? Would be interested to know...I am able to use this for some catch up anyways.

    Try clearing browser cache or use a different browser to test.

    Some people use it to avoid location tracking by search engines, facebook etc but I myself was on the lookout for a cheap one to get around geolock restrictions such as iplayer and down the line maybe netflix etc.

    I had access to iplayer via other means but it's worth it to access a better quality source from bbc site itself.

    Other's use it for torrenting purposes, to restrict available info to their own ISP's

    That's up to you to decide. It's less than €14 if you pay with Paypal and it's a lifetime sub. Could be worse ways to spend €14. I haven't used it long enough to say it doesn't have issues, but someone else may have advice for you to make up your mind.


  • Registered Users Posts: 275 ✭✭scottigael

    Yeah I used my revolut had no idea using PayPal avoids tax lesson learned

    Edit: you enter tbr code via the "My Account" page

    No. A 'Lifetime' offer usually only means 3 - 5 years, so you may only end up getting one year of use out of it. Also, NordVPN would be in a completely different class than this.

    If just buying to get Netflix and BBC iPlayer, then you may as well wait as there may be different offers in 2 years time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,575 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    This runs automatically on new firestick which is very handy.

    Suckit surely a Lifetime Means life or a 100 years ?

    No, unfortunately that's not what lifetime means in these instances. It is the lifetime of the software. They could kill it and bring out a new version in 3-5 years, or many other things could happen. Or they could rebrand as VPN Unlimited (subsidiary company) and that would also kill any lifetime licence. But the deal is still a good deal if you don't have a vpn.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,320 ✭✭✭davo2001


    Honestly, how do people trust VPNs? Sure, if you don't mind some random person / company literally being able to access all your data then fine.

    VPN in this sense is just a glorified proxy. The VPN provider can see all your traffic, and do with it what they want - including logging.

    Anyone with half a bit of common sense wouldn't use it, but sure if it enables you to watch what you want on the iPlayer.......

    The only thing they log from me is what I watch on firestick..... Which is a very strange but boring mix. I do concur that I wouldn't be sending all my regular traffic through one.

    Oh no, they'll log me watching MOTD tonight, what ever shall I do...

    I won't logging in to check my bank details via a VPN.

    It's not your bank details they are after.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,189 ✭✭✭ThePott


    How reliable is this for getting onto Netflixes or other streaming services through a laptop?

    Suckit wrote: »

    I understand your point, merely saying I'll basically be using it for accessing the likes of the iplayer and then disconnecting when done.
