Lifetime VPN €14

Can anyone who is familiar with using it tell me why selecting a country, e.g. the USA doesn't work for Netflix, yet if I use the link for Netflix it auto assigns to the US and works? The same for UK and BBC iPlayer.

This is great but...

I'm just wondering if I want to change to other countries to see their Netflix options, or even purchase cheaper via Turkey then I want to know if there is something I'm doing wrong when selecting a server?

I currently have a Turkish Netflix account and have been bopping around different countries netflix regions on my phone for the last hour checking exclusive content, works grand.

Changed the server to another country, restart netflix and away you go.

That hasn't worked for me. Only clicking the recommended link that has the Netflix logo (doesn't say which country but was USA).

I bought this - tried the Channel 4 app and no luck... Has it worked for anyone else? Any tips?

I use 4oD, or All 4 as it is now known for years without need for VPN. I can't remember entirely but I think you can just give a UK address in setting up if it doesn't work with whatever address you put in. I've never had a problem accessing any show or film I wanted to watch without need for VPN.

From their FAQ:

Can I watch All 4 in another country?
Rights agreements mean that our All 4 service is only available in the UK. Even if you are a citizen of the UK you cannot access the service from abroad, except to watch previously downloaded shows (applicable to iOS and Android devices only). Some of our programmes are available in the Republic of Ireland, subject to rights.

I've been using Windscribe for quite some time and they have a lot of different Netflix IPs (US/CA/JP and UK), but it's a bit expensive. I think I'm paying aprox 10 dollars a month. I've also looked towards NordVPN.

Do you really get a lifelong subscription for €36?

Lifetime subscription refers to the lifetime of the software.

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand.

It says "KeepSolid VPN Unlimited: Lifetime Subscription", does that mean I pay $39/€36 ones or is it a recurring fee?

It's a one-time fee of €14 once you enter the code VPNDEAL.

The software may be taken offline in a few years (or rebranded as something new) so the "lifetime" of the software has ended, and the subscription ends then too.

Only €14??

Ah, yes. Ofcourse that might happen. Still sounds like a good deal since that's less than I currently pay for two months!

Thank you for clarifying!

Indeed, it's a crazy deal. I was considering NordVPN for €12.99 a month and was about to subscribe later this week until I decided to check out Bargain Alerts

Pure coincidence as I haven't been on Bargain Alerts for several weeks

NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark and others are a completely different animal. You pay more but far more secure, private, speeds, service and servers etc.

I just used the VPN unlimited app on my phone to change my location to the US.

I then opened the Netflix app on my phone directly as normal and it shows all the US content.

I used Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse as the test every time I used USA random servers and then successfully in the Netflix logo’d server recommendation. When using the other servers it showed me content from US but wouldn’t let me view as it said I was on a proxy.

how long from purchasing to getting your licence on average, purchased this morning and still waiting.

I have this a while and struggle to get BBC I player app to play.

Also when logged into player via chrome same issues

Have it set to BBC streaming no joy and other UK locations no joy either

I had trouble earlier, but it's working fine now, I turned off location services in settings on mi box. Watching Seven world's, One planet now ðŸ‘

I hooked It up to my firestick - works fine. BBC I player/ITV Hub work on the BBC setting. Oddly, the All4 app does not work on UK location but does work on my default Irish IP!

Not yet tried it on US TV. Any suggestions of sites/apps to use there as a test? What Netflix shows are US only?

Season 5 of Peaky Blinders?
