About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Buy something for 1 dollar like:
Buy something for 1 dollar like:
stacksocial.com/col…ant
During the checkout, you will have the option to add $100 credit for $80. In total, it would be 80 + 1 + 7.55 =$88.55 approx £68 for a 3 years subscription.
It might be cheaper with cashback; however, I had issues before with Quidco. This should work also for existing accounts while Quidco requires a new account.
Note1: if you have an Android device, the APK from their website has an adblocker included. They could not put the same APK on the play store as it is forbiden by Google.
"Please note that, due to Google’s policies, the CyberSec feature will no longer block ads on the NordVPN app downloaded from the Google Play Store. But let’s look at the bright side: it will keep protecting you from malicious websites and other cyber threats. And if you’d rather see less of those intrusive ads, the app version with the ad blocker is still available on our website."

Personally going off quidco... missing too many transactions...

General VPN advice with lots of data for comparison: thatoneprivacysite.net/
One thing to keep in mind is that your purpose and threat model is essential for using the right VPN service. If you just want to et around geo-blocking and having a slightly better feeling about security, going with some of the big providers such as PIA or Nord is probably alright.
If you are dealing with sensitive data and/or have good reason to worry about security (within the UK or during travels), you might want to look at other factors. For a few, for instance, it matters whether VPN providers use their own hardware in 'trusted' data centres or whether they use VPNs (which, technically, are less secure). Very few use their own barebone servers, only AirVPN and Mullvad coming to mind right now. Again, for most users this should not matter, though. (edited)
This makes it sound like VPNs were solely used for streaming Netflix on computers that you do not use for any other internet activity. Some of us feel uncomfortable that everything you do online is permanently* stored with governments (or corporations, for that matter) and will eventually be used against us - lawfully or not.
*Perhaps not everything is stored from everyone just yet, but if an algorithm ever decided that your two-sentence email comment to your father on Brexit from three years ago was similar to a comment made by someone who was ever screened by police at a demonstration, you're gonna be on that special interest list for the rest of your life. Quite possibly your relatives and children as well. And that's the best case scenario. It's much more likely that pretty limited data gathering (and storage) will identify you as a potential threat. Will your Netflix history combined with your Premier League news reading online activities be sufficient for that? Now? No. In ten years' time (using the data collected today)? Probably. In 20 years' time? Without a doubt.
And before you criticise my metaphorical tinfoil hat: the above will be and is already largely technically possible. The issue to overcome is that the capacities to analyse all of the existing data are not there just yet. This is only a matter of time (again, for governments as well as companies). And what's technically possible will be used: first in intelligence gathering abroad, later on for governing at home.
Will VPNs save you? No. They will limit some of the data gathered on you today, though.
I don't watch Netflix. I am not sure whether it would work. They also have a 7 days free trial
free.nordvpn.com/trial/
plus a 30 day money back guarantee. I had absolutelly no issues with them refunding a transaction. I would say give it a try and see if it works
They have some speciality servers like double VPN and dedicated IP ones, I would say check to see whether any of them works for you.
Seems to be a regular story about them just not tracking or ripping people off.:S
Whatever list you're looking it, it's purely about affiliate revenue. NordVPN might be popular (and for the vast majority of people sufficient), but it's not part of the top end of services.
This seems expensive to me .
Not sure if that works on credit. Technically your first purchase is the credit.
I used PIA before. It is a good service but less countries than NordVPN. It is also cheaper however it does not have several countries I needed. On a plus side for PIA, a couple of years ago they closed their Russian VPN part because the government demanded access. I think it pretty much depends what you need your VPN for.
Thanks for the info. Ive had Nord for a while now before they became such a mainstream VPN supplier. I'm looking for a new one now. Something about a VPN supplier who pride themselves on being privacy friendly and not logging anything but then creates huge ad campaigns didn't sit right with me. And now this too.
I didn't mess with my networking settings yet, but was fully braced for the overhead. But this was a bit excessive.
My only issue is with Netflix buffering with Nord with USA servers, other than that I'm getting decent enough speeds otherwise.
TCB are still doing 50% cash back and they currently have a code 3ynordvpn giving you 3 years for £84.30 but without using that code, you can get a three year deal for $2.99 a month which works out about £82.00. There's often codes knocking around to get a few cents a month off too to drop it even further.
Speed wise, I'm on a Virgin 350 connection and normally get over 300mbps with it only dropping to around 250 on Nord. I actually have it set up using DD-WRT / OpenVPN on a second router which I just use for any private stuff, most of my traffic goes out unencrypted on another router. (edited)
Good setup!

There are more websites questioning whether Nord and Proton can be trusted, if you're willing to read further.
Any thoughts?
Interesting. If not nord then what other service can provide with service no logs, no eyes, and good speed all rounder access. It becomes really difficult.
No, Nord is based in Panama. Not part of either 5, 9 or 14 eyes alliances.
No risks at all. The whole eyes program (referring to intelligence sharing agreements) is only a concern if you're doing anything that might break a law (ordering from markets on the dark web for example).
Your average law abiding citizen doesn't need to worry about whether GCHQ know what you streaming via a USA Netflix whilst using your VPN... they have more important things to pursue.
VPN for your average user helps unlock traffic shaped speeds, geolocation blocking of websites/services and preventing your average PC plod/ISP from logging what websites you do in your spare time.
VPN alone for illegal activities just simply isn't enough.... if that's your thing.. (edited)
Why do I need a VPN:
To access cross countries netflix such as the USA.
To access iPlayer when out of the UK and download content from it for trips.
To have a VPN for my IPTV apps so my browsing history is obscured and the provider doesn't get my real IP address
To download content without my ISP knowing what I am doing
To use on public Wi-Fi so that snoopers cannot access my browsing.
Total cost - £70 but after 42% cashback (which is currently 60% so an even bigger saving) so £1.20 ish a month for that price it's worth it.
My analogy makes sense your using a free vpn when if you paid a little extra you would get extra benefits like OVPN files, more servers, double VPN etc.
Buy a new router which is VPN able.
My suggestion is ASUS routers with Merlin firmware or get Netgear nighthawk routers.
It's not the provider it's the way orbi issetup - no way around it then to get another router the provider you choose won't help I am afraid.
A simple way to achieve a VPN WiFi hotspot is to plug in an external unit, like a GL.iNet device and setup your VPN provider through their OpenVPN interface. You would plug in the Gl.iNet device into one of your Ethernet ports on the router and setup any devices you want to connect through a VPN to connect to the new Access Point. For e.g. You can name it similar to your current WiFi (SKY2638 and SKY2638-VPN). Works like a charm.
Also, if you want to connect through wires then the units support that's also as it has a LAN/WLAN (In and Out) port so either connect just one device to is through the In port or connect a cheap witch to the In port and enjoy the VPN access through the ports of the Switch.
You can find the units on Amazon.. (edited)
Yes you cAn.
I gave out some to family members. (edited)
I done the same and never worked out either🙃
same for me but to be fair it wasn't a new account. I used an old account as I still had 1 month to go. NordVPNs CS is quite good and fast. They refund some of my transactions fairly quickly. This deal is without Quidco.
Where
Dante you obviously have this vpn.i have pure lifetime.but I think I’m missing out here in terms of Netflix.what would you advise.could do with some guidance.
Mind you I am still waiting for my quidco cashback.
Just read about them they unlock Netflix on USA Canada and USA.have a look at this thebestvpn.com/rev…pn/
I think Netflix recognise some of the nordvpn IP's, and then block or limit you, whereas other servers are fine, and can watch the US shows.
I've got Nord and it's hit and miss so I should figure out which specific server is best for Netflix. I also had buffering from my nvidia shield device via LAN connection on cable broadband, so that shouldn't really happen for regular HD.
With other VPNs, no buffering problems at all.
