Windscribe VPN Pro Plan: 3-Yr Subscription for £60 ($69) for new users via StackSocial

Choose country as Virgin Islands But still put your postcode in. Worked for me

Same here...

The opera "VPN" isn't really a VPN, it's a proxy that works inside of your browser and as such it only "protects" your browsing info within the browser.


Windscribe is a VPN that protects everything using a connection on your device, from browsing to netflix, social media and even games

Don't think mullvad works with some streaming services

Have you look at the £ exchange rate to USD now to last year ?

I think better to use fee free card such as Monzo or Revolut. PayPal will charge you more usually according to my knowledge. Regarding the VPN I'm not able to compare this with Surfshark as I haven't used it. Windscribe is very reliable and works great so far but you can see the review here

Ditto to that, BulletVPN been great for me, on the very very rare occasion one of the connections goes down then I switch to windscribe free version. It's extremely rare tho

I bought the Fastest VPN one but it is unreliable for me. Sometimes it will block or cripple (very slow) all traffic for no reason at all, I've had it cause conflicts on multiple systems or get stuck 'on' but actually be turned off, twice I've had to reinstall the driver, switched back to the Windscribe Free tier mine fell back to and it's been great, I really miss having Pro. Depends what you're doing with it I suppose but for me, biggest use was BitTorrent for emulators, ROMs, etc. and occasional film without DRM.

You can pay with PayPal but it will add 20% VAT to the cost (I'm not sure if there's a way to escape this with PayPal?)

If you pay on the StackSocial checkout and select British Virgin Islands as your country and enter your postcode then the payment will go through and there'll be no VAT. Note this way you are billed in USD so you may pay commission from your bank unless you have a travel friendly card like Starling/monzo/Revolut etc

Currently on the 3 year option the code WINDSCRIBE will get you a further 10% off at checkout. (edited)

Are you referring to thatoneprivacysite / thatoneprivacy guy ? If so, he sold the website to the Safety Detectives which was bought by Kape Technologies who own VPN Mentor aswell as VPNs such as Express VPN, Cyber Ghost and Private Internet Access where those VPNs are now suspiciously highly rated. As you can see unfortunatley for us consumers the VPN industry is shrinking to the point where a few big players end up owning many of the VPNs and indulge in pretty underhand tactics to get sales such as VPN providers owning "review" websites making them nothing but ad websites or the more a website owner gets paid by a VPN provider the higher up the rankings they go.

Wht settings do we need to adjust to get the best out of it?

Same here, mostly, I've noticed during peak hours that if I'm using Discord voice chat then my response time will leave much to be desired.
Generally speaking for the price (mine costs me about £2/m) it's an excellent choice for a reliable VPN

Wht happened pls so we can avoid such a thing with controld

Which VPN did your mate use for Sky?

usually is...

I use it on eneba for my xbox games and works fine m8

Wht is that

Best way to regard all VPNs really. For obvious reasons, nobody really knows which ones are secure, which aren't, and which are actually run covertly by security services. For general use it doesn't much matter, but I suppose it does to some people/organisations.

Yes, looks like they charge VAT on top no matter the method of payment.

Unlikely. I tried a VPN while on holiday in Spain to watch the BBC News channel I was paying for via my licence. No dice. However Channel 4 did work, only via VPN, so C4 News it was.

Cheaper

...new sub stacks up onto existing one
