Hey OzBargain!

We're doing an Easter Surprise over at VPN.sh where you simply open up our Easter Surprise Link and get your free VPN account! Depending on how lucky you are, you could get any of the following three Easter Surprises:

  • 1 month free - 25GB/month usage (can be renewed at £1/month once expired)
  • 6 months free - 100GB/semi-annual usage (can be renewed at £2/semi-annually once expired)
  • 12 months free - 1000GB/annual usage (can be renewed at £3/annually once expired)

If you're not lucky enough to get the 12 months free, you can also upgrade your Easter Surprise to the 12 months (1000GB/annual) option by following our upgrade link for £4.

We hope you have a great Easter Monday and enjoy your free VPN!

Cheers,
VPN.sh Team

NOTE: If you have issues getting access to our Easter Surprise (stating that you've already claimed your prize), open a support ticket and we'll get this sorted out for you.

REP EDIT: I'm in the UK (2am here as I write this) and about to hop into bed. Any orders that haven't been activated already will be activated when I wake (sometime in the evening in Australia). Good luck and Happy Easter!

    I read Months as Moths.How many free moths in your eggs?

    In my mind have seen at least 5 different senarios? Love thinking in 3d colour

    And thanks for the post will investigate after I eat more of my non moths eggs.

      Our system is setup as follows:

      Roughly 60% chance of 1 month. Roughly 30% chance of 6 months. Roughly 10% chance of 12 months. Just have to cross your fingers and hope that you get 6 or 12 months - however 1 month of free service is still a positive, right? Of course, if you wish to renew then it's a great price too!

    Rep your site isn't working. It keeps saying you've already claimed your prize. Different browser, different ip, rdp to different continent, vpn, tor, etc.
    Is this deliberate?

    • Store RepLiamWithers @ VPN.SH on 06/04/2015 - 10:17

      This isn't deliberate. If you're using a shared IP, it could be that somebody else who has access to the same IP has already visited our page. Drop me a PM with your usual IP (can be checked from http://wimi.com), and I'll wipe everything clean so that you can have a fresh attempt.

      Unfortunately you'll lose the link if you close and come back later - it's either that, or we store cookies on your PC (not something we're fond of, generally). If you could drop me a PM with a screenshot to the order form, that'd be perfect, and I can honour this once you've looked over reviews etc. if you wish!

    6 months here

  • Sili on 06/04/2015 - 10:28

    I'm a noob with VPN. Can you clarify for me please? With the 6 months free - 100GB/semi-annual usage (can be renewed at £2/semi-annually once expired), does that mean having 100GB to use over the course of 6 months? And then after that to continue using this service it is £2 for blocks of 100GB with 6 months expiry? Thanks.

    • Store RepLiamWithers @ VPN.SH on 06/04/2015 - 10:35

      Hey, hope I can help! Yup, with the 6 month option, you get 100GB to use over the course of 6 months. After that, you can either let the service expire (and not be charged), or choose to renew at £2 which will provide a further 6 months, and 100GB of data to use. You can continue to renew like that for as long as you wish to use the service :).

      Just for further clarification, if you haven't used the entire 100GB within 6 months, then unfortunately the remainder is written off and cannot be used.

      Hi there, only just ticked over to the 6th here in the UK! We've had some delays in getting the server racked in the datacentre, but it looks like all will be good to go towards the end of the week. We'll likely add on a couple of weeks free service as an apology for not getting things up and running on time - I can assure you that the delays have been out of our hands as we've been waiting on third parties!

    A technical question: Why are you using TCP insted of UDP for your OpenVPN servers Liam?

    • Store RepLiamWithers @ VPN.SH on 06/04/2015 - 10:51

      Some locations should be accessible via UDP also (simply change the relevant line in the .ovpn files), however we tend to see more abusive clients using UDP, and decided not to throw in the UDP configuration file as default any more. Hope that clarifies!

    Hey Liam, clever promo. What's your logs policy there?

    • Store RepLiamWithers @ VPN.SH on 06/04/2015 - 11:06

      Hey :). We log connection/disconnection time, as well as total amount of bandwidth used (so that we can keep on top of users bandwidth limits).

      We do not log the data which you access whilst connected to our VPN service.

      Hope that helps!

      • kitsumon on 06/04/2015 - 12:22

        I think zuccs' question was more directed to whether you keep any logs "which would allow you to match an IP-address and a time stamp to a user of your service"

        • Diji1 on 06/04/2015 - 13:58

          The answer to that is yes.

    Hi Liam, one more question. Is there any plans to launch a 'smart' DNS service, to unblock American based content on NetFlix without having to use a VPN?

    • Store RepLiamWithers @ VPN.SH on 06/04/2015 - 11:08

      This is something I've always wanted to get up and running, but as of yet we've stuck to VPN's. I'll look into this again in the next few weeks to see if we can pull something together, however the market is extremely saturated, and it might be worth our time trying to compete with the likes of Hola.

      That said, I'll definitely look into it, and if we do pull something together then I'll be sure to let OzBargain know!

    Hi, Rep!
    Pretty nice deal, thanks.

    Could you please answer these questions :

    1. Do you keep ANY logs which would allow you or a 3rd party to match an IP-address and a time stamp to a user of your service? If so, exactly what information do you hold?

    2. Under what jurisdictions does your company operate and under what exact circumstances will you share the information you hold with a 3rd party?

    3. In the event you receive a DMCA takedown notice or European equivalent, how are these handled?

    4. Why are you asking for the fullname & address during registration?

    • Diji1 on 06/04/2015 - 13:59

      He replied to my question on this: "We log connection/disconnection time, as well as total amount of bandwidth used (so that we can keep on top of users bandwidth limits)."

      That's too much logging for my liking!

      • Pest85 on 06/04/2015 - 18:54

        Yeah, i saw that reply. I just want to see answers for 2-4.
        If they store logs - they can be forced to share it with 3rd party.

        But, let's wait for the answers…

  • thomfam on 06/04/2015 - 11:52

    I got one month, set it up on Windows 7 and had a quick play. I setup so I had 4 servers to choose from. I tried the UK server and tried unsuccessfully to watch a BBC iPlayer program. I wasn't allowed as it was only to be viewed by UK residents. I also found that I was repeatedly told that my password was incorrect. I looked a minute later and it had been connected.

    I noted the "Paypal" option remained highlighted during the signup so I guessed that possibly my Paypal A/c would be debited the One Pound at the end of my free month! I am not sure how this can happen though.

    Maybe I did something wrong?

    So I wish to 'cancel' my account but couldn't find anywhere on the website or Google to cancel a VPN.SH account.

    I sent off an email asking my account be deleted.

    Maybe next time?

    • triviums on 06/04/2015 - 14:18

      I think what happened to you is the same thing that happened to me when I tried to watch something on Youtube that only Canadian residents could watch. I suspect that both Youtube and BBC are doing the same thing which is making sure the dns addresses are located in the country of resident. VPN.sh uses Google's DNS addresses, which are located all over the world…

      I wish there was a tutorial on how to override the VPN servers dns addresses, it would make my life so much easier…

        I seriously don't understand all the fuss everyone has about VPN.sh, yes the customer service isn't great all the time, but I can tell you now with certainty that it is better than some of the most profitable companies in the world! Also, I never hear anyone complaining about the speeds on PIA, yet both VPN.sh and PIA use servers owned by the same company (I think…), meaning that unless VPN.sh is deliberately spending money on really bad servers both PIA and VPN.sh should experience similar speeds on servers owned by the same company…
