    Should I go in through OP's link or go direct to Keep Solid?

    How do I get into the Redeem section?
    Have I to set up an account and then choose a payment option?

    When you create an account you'll see a Redeem button somewhere along the top, click that.

    I also have it but had to also get ExpressVPN as amazon was identifying it as VPN use when trying to watch Prime video. Also not as smooth as ExpressVPN for buffering video but you get what you pay for.

    Still find it useful for stuff like connecting to US etc.

    On android

    Install the app.
    Run it
    Skip the sign in bits.

    Hit the hamburger button
    Go to redeem a code
    Type in the vpnmacxdns
    It'll say code has been redeemed.

    Then on the main screen it shows you have 6 months 5 days left.

    That worked for me anyway.

    Have had the Lifetime sub for quite a while now. Very good VPN - hasn't failed yet (though I'm not really thrashing the hell out of it).
    Doesn't seem to throttle speeds..

    Anyone any tips on installing this (or any VPN) on the VF Gigabit Router?

    This was the easiest method for me, just ensure the code is all uppercase.

    And what happens after the 6months and 5 days?

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    I use mine for NBA India, SSport+ Turkey, Netflix US, all the Uk apps (iplayer, STV player, ITV player, C5 player) and US Apps (pluto, imdb tv etc)

    Are these things safe? Two people have told me that they harvest your data or something.

    They're welcome to comb through my exciting BBC viewing history if they want.
    I wouldn't leave it turned on for my other internet use

    Taken from the thread I already mentioned.

    ....... it is not possible to make any meaningful security assessment of a VPN, without deep access to the operation.

    Using any public VPN service increases your security risk immensely. Not only are you at the mercy of the VPN provider, but such services are prime targets for criminals and state actors. Worst case, any unencrypted information on your device could be at risk.

    I posted an article on VPN security, in a post last week. Some VPN's routinely suck all available information from your device including your location, device ID, browsing history and god knows what else. By the way, just because a VPN provider says they don't keep logs is no guarantee that they, or a third party, don't maintain a record.

    IMO using a VPN on a device with sensitive information, or used for any type of financial transaction (e.g. shopping or banking) is bordering on reckless. I suggest that, unless you are knowledgeable on such matters, use VPN's on streaming devices only. 'Free' trials are even more dangerous as many use your computer resources for what could be criminal activity.

    With all that said, our data is probably being harvested already anyways during just general online activity.

    No probably about it, everyone from your ISP to google, facebook (you'd be surprised by their reach) etc are at it. Ever done a voice search on your phone? You can listen back to it and cringe in your google account settings :D

    If you drive a connected car the amount of data generated is staggering.

    It's not an excuse to make it easy for them though and just click accept or not to take basic measures to limit the amount of information you let them have.

    Anyway as far as vpns go all are not equal in this regard and this one logs stuff I'd not be happy with putting on a pc or phone. A TV or game console maybe but even at that.
