Lifetime VPN €14

[Deleted User] · 15-02-2020 1:23pm

Lads, a word of caution. If a VPN is important to you, you need to spend a bit of money. Ask yourself how a business can provide you a lifetime of a service that requires powerful servers running in expensive data ceners connected to a fat data pipe in multiple locations throughout the world, with technical expertise, customer service and legal expertise for a one-off payment of €14. It simply isn't remotely possible. They will close, or open a new service and mothball the old, or provide you with a service that is not what was promised, or sell your data, or more likely a combination of the above. It's simple economics - you cannot provide a longterm quality VPN service for €14. if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Any VPN alternative suggestions/recommendations?

Mullvad or Surfshark.
Probably Mullvad overall, but it is more expensive.
Surfshark are on topcashback too (I only joined TCB for their previous offer), painless sign up.

I only really got it to geo unlock content and it works a treat.
I don't need it running 24hrs on my phone etc
I have a gmail account and use the Google suite. I'm happy knowing Google have my data and that I'm the product

I have been using it for months now with no problems.

Mine has been working well for months.

If you have paid €14 and used it for few months you have already got your return. Anything after that is a bonus.

I have a lifetime KeepSolid account since April 2018, coming to 2 years, still working away. I paid $18 at that time, so definitely got my money worth.

Just to be clear, I only use it for streaming from certain services.

I have surfshark too, good VPN as well.

Don't forget 14 quid was a special offer. Full price for the service is 60 bucks a year.

Same here, got the deal at the time. Only use it for sane purposes. It had problems in first few months but like a good wine, it's gotten better with age.

I’ve signed up to SurfShark. I’ve only been using it for six weeks or so but so far so good.

I went with Surfshark too, seems good value at €44 for 2 years. It was working perfectly initially, but not anymore.

@el_gaucho, would you mind if I PMed you for a bit of advice?

Go ahead. I haven’t been using it long myself though.

I have been using VPN unlimited since May 2018 under this offer, or a previous incarnation of it, and the service has been rock solid anytime I've gone to use it....that's not to say it's day will soon come however!

I had my first ever interaction with their CS service last week (upgraded to Fibre with Siro and it did not play nicely with the VPN Unlimited frontend on my Android TV) they responded within hours and they got back to me several times to check on my progress etc. which totally exceeded my expectations for a budget service tbh!

mean gene · 05-03-2020 11:02am

have this for over a year on 4 androids works fine with bbc player itv etc

cant figure out how to change Netflix locations keeps going a miss though

garrkell · 05-03-2020 5:16pm

KeepSolid has never worked with BBC iPlayer for me.....fairly useless

maximoose · 05-03-2020 5:21pm

Works perfectly for iplayer for me, strange

Works fine for me & a friend I recommended it to.

Are you sure that your account is registered in the UK ?

It has always worked for me too until recently.

I had to switch the protocol the app was using....?

go to the menu
Settings
Protocols
I tried each, and only WireGuard beta would work correctly

.....it also works for all other connections, so you only had to change it the once. Hope it works out for you.

I haven’t a notion, can’t remember. Maybe that’s where I went wrong. Should it matter if I’m selecting a British location on the vpn...? I’m usually good at these things...

You need to set up a BBC account using the vpn & with a UK postcode.

sheroman01 · 07-03-2020 12:55pm

iPlayer was hit and miss for me. Wasn’t working 1 month ago. Now it is. An update to the VPN possibly helped so make sure to do that.

As of now, both iPlayer and US Netflix work!

What a great bargain this was

dulpit · 11-03-2020 3:44pm

Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone has had much success in choosing a server for torrent use. I need to download a few torrents weekly (Linux Distros :pac:

) and I have had very hit & miss with successfully being able to use the VPN. I had for a while very good results using one of the French ones that was marked for torrents, but lately I get 0 speed until I switch off the VPN.

No, you must use the streaming iplayer option rather than a UK location.

Hi Guys

I am looking for a cheap reliable VPN that will play BBC iPlayer, anybody got any recommendations ?

Thanks for your help

Why do you want a VPN for perfectly legal downloads?

It's not reliable if I look at other posts under this Thread

Thus has anybody got any other VPN suggestions that are cheap and reliable, it would be much appreciated
