Description:

At VPN.sh, we've been looking into the possibility of providing unlimited bandwidth VPN's for some time now, and we're just about ready to finally announce that this is ready! We've worked hard to be able to provide this, and are now ready to launch.

This is a very limited offer as a celebration of us launching the unlimited bandwidth packages, where you can get your unlimited bandwidth VPN for just £1/year. We only have a very limited amount of stock for this, however all current clients will be able to get access to 50% off for their first year once we officially launch the packages in a couple of days (standard pricing will be £30/year), so if you miss out on this offer, you can still get a great discount - just drop us an email at [email protected] if you miss out!

As with all of our VPN packages, you'll get access to all of our 24 worldwide locations (more coming soon!).

NOTE: This VPN service does not allow torrents and warez

    Bought their service from a previous deal and I could manage to install the client, however it never worked. OpenVPN shows connected but if you do an anonymous ip check, it showed your ip and location without amiss!

    Customer service never really bothered to respond to my queries.

    Don't spend on this, however small the amount is. Not worth the hassle in troubleshooting and chasing down one of their reps.

    • Axelstrife on 06/08/2015 - 06:56

      what client? i didn't see any such client i just used the windows 10 builtin feature where you setup the vpn right now i am connected to japan.

    • klownz on 06/08/2015 - 08:09

      OpenVPN needs to run with the right privileges in order to update your routing information on your PC to use the tunnel.

      Running as admin usually works.

    $2.22.. sold. Even if it's slower than some of the premium VPNs, I need a VPN for when I visit China annually plus for a bit of privacy when the mood strikes. So this is definitely good value for me.

    Ordered, don't have a VPN at this stage. Usage has altered somewhat since Dallas Buyers Club too.
    For $2 i'll give it a whirl but for some reason I feel much more secure about the PIA setup.
    Not from a technical perspective, perhaps because it costs more and has a better website.

    I scored one of the "free" Easter deals which worked well for a few days then stopped saying my plan was now expired despite being a 12 month one. I have support tickets open since April with no replies.

    E-mail from VPN.sh regarding torrent use. What a joke You'd think the guy was running a charity the way he expects people to restrict their use.

    "We don't encourage it, as obviously we're more likely to have legal issues when encouraging torrents as opposed to discouraging. We don't want to have a few "power torrenters" making the browsing experience and downloads speeds worse for everybody else.

    We do take some basic preventative measures to avoid torrents, however it's not impossible (from a technical standpoint) to torrent on our service.

    Please do bear in mind that we're a small operation, and can do nice offers such as this as a result of our clients being mindful of what they access with us.

    I try to be as reasonable as possible, but simply cannot encourage torrents as otherwise I could effectively be assisting torrenters to lower the overall experience for everyone else.

    Make of this what you will, but if you feel like you'd likely torrent frequently, then we're probably not the right service for you.

    Thanks for taking the time to ask, much appreciated.

    Kind regards,
    Liam"

          Pretty straight forward, im not noob at computers i built mine. i tried pptp and openvpn they worked fine for web browsing and i got over 5mmbps on speed test but high ping which is as expected. but torrents just wouldn't download.
          i tried a few torrents that i knew had tons of seeders and ever one from a legit site guaranteed to work which still wouldn't.

          I also have Getflix vpn setup the same way using pptp and it downloads fine.

        • ilikeit on 06/08/2015 - 15:45

      • Store RepLiamWithers @ VPN.SH on 06/08/2015 - 09:47
        -3

        Out of interest, maybe my below response would be a more suitable sticky at the top? If required, I can provide a small FAQ type section if moderators believe this would be of assistance to readers here?

        Personally, I believe the message which we're replying to here (which quotes the email I sent earlier), presents a viewpoint of "I can't torrent, even though it's in the TOS and I've been informed by a representative of the company, but it's still a joke". That would be like going to a McDonald's that doesn't claim to have gluten free buns, states in their nutritional information that their buns aren't gluten free, asking a member of staff if the buns contain gluten, and kindly being told that the buns do in fact contain gluten, and then still moaning because they aren't running their business the way that you want them to.

        Just my 2 cents (attempting to be as unbiased as I can here, of course!).

    • Store RepLiamWithers @ VPN.SH on 06/08/2015 - 09:43
      +2

      So this email has just been sent out. It's mentioned in our TOS that torrents and warez aren't advised. As mentioned in my email, if you want to torrent frequently, then feel free to check out the other VPN providers - there's plenty around, and plenty that don't mind torrents all that much.

      If you don't like that our stance on torrents, that's totally fine, simply don't purchase the offer. We don't try and hide what we allow or don't - our terms of service can be referred to by any of our clients, and generally speaking we take a fairly relaxed stance with them (as with most companies - our TOS is there for us to refer to when absolutely necessary).

      I'm not quite sure what you think is a joke about the way that we run our business. I have thanked you for taking the time to ask (better to ask first, and receive what I believe to be a reasonable response, then to just go ahead and break the TOS), as can be seen in my email, and I don't feel that you're really understanding where we're coming from.

      For all others reading this, I'll make no further comment here regarding torrents other than this: We do place some technical roadblocks in order to attempt to prevent torrenting usage, as it's illegal in the majority of countries in which our servers are located. We're a business, and rightly so, we try not to break the law, and try to prevent our clients from breaking the law. Ultimately, it's us who will face the legal bills when you download a bunch of things which you shouldn't have - and we don't hide that we put such measures in place (otherwise I wouldn't be openly disclosing it here). If you feel that this is something that you're not happy with from your VPN provider, then that's fine, and I'm sure there are plenty of other VPN providers who can suit your needs (I'm unsure on torrenting policies, but both PIA and Astrill provide fantastic performance - Astrill especially so for those in Australia and Asia).

      I hope this clarifies for anybody who was wanting some insight into our policies regarding torrenting. We're not unreasonable, we simply have to do what we can to prevent ourselves getting into any legal issues.

      Thanks,
      Liam

        Sorry pal, your terms of service are nowhere to be seen on the landing page you have sent through.
        As well as this, not once have you mentioned that torrents or p2p cant be used. There is nothing illegal about downloading a torrent so long as it isnt pirated material and therefore it would be very fair to assume that torrents can be downloaded, as long as they are from sites that dont encourage illegal activity.
        It is incredibly shady practice to do what you're doing. You have told people that it is comparable to a product that typically costs $30. Any product that costs $30 and doesnt include torrent use is an absolute rip off. You would know this by the amount of emails you get asking you why torrents aren't working.

        • Store RepLiamWithers @ VPN.SH on 06/08/2015 - 09:54
          +3

          The link to the terms of service is visible before you place the order. You have to check the box stating that you've read and agreed to the linked terms of service - it's in full view. Granted, it isn't linked to on the offer page. I'll pop that on there.

          I haven't really had much time to post in here as of today, so no, I haven't declared that in here until now.

          Indeed, legal torrenting is also something that people can do. Unfortunately, we cannot determine whether or not a torrent that somebody is downloading is legal or illegal, and so it's safer at our end to simply place the roadblock before any torrenting takes place. I'm sorry if you don't like that, but it's very easy to just disconnect from our service, download your torrent, and then connect again afterwards (or of course, use another VPN provider for the intermittent torrent downloading).

          I don't believe I've made any direct comparison of our product to anything else, or mentioned that we compare to any products of any specific prices (if I have mistakenly done this, please let me know where so that I can review my post).

          Obviously we sit on different sides of the fence here. You want us to allow torrenting. We're not going to be encouraging it. I'm sorry if you don't like that - but let's not let it ruin our day! I'll leave this here now, as there's not really anything else we can say to one another to make anything better of the situation.

          I hope you have a nice day - it's 1am here (I'm in the UK), so I'm going to hop into bed. Thanks for taking the time to take a look at our offer, and I'm sorry that we don't seem to be the provider for you!

          Thanks,
          Liam

          The VPN will defintely make your connection slower. But while it's not lightning quick, it's not molasses slow either. (For me at least.)

          My experience has been that while the site is slower in general and when initially loading a show or film, once whatever I'm viewing starts I haven't had issues with lag.

    This guys is responsible for another past OzB deal here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/187592

    I had to file PayPal dispute after the service still wasn't commissioned 2 months after promised. Not sure if the service was eventually provided or not, but I would avoid even for 50c….

    Hi Rep I have emailed you and created a ticket but not heard back, my confirmation email has no account name in it, is it just my email, please respond here or through my ticket?? Ticket ID: 418523

      The Rep said a few posts above "It may take me a while to respond if I don't receive a message straight away, as it's bedtime here!". It doesn't look like they give 24hr service.

    Signed up and tested. Speed seems to be decent, but connecting to USA 5 server and checking my location using https://www.iplocation.net/ still shows me in Australia in the right State. @LiamWithers care to comment?

    I registered with a +vpn for my Email address, apparently it is an illegal character! Oops… I submitted a ticket to change my email/user name. Let's see how long it takes to get it resolved.

    Bought the 1000GB/year from the last deal. Configured and connected successfully using OpenVPN Client. But can't get uTorrent to download anything. Performing a network check passes and gives me a green tick in the diagnostics window. But the yellow triangle on the bottom right corner of main window never goes away and no dl/seeding happens.

    If someone has set it up successfully, would appreciate the help through PM.

    EDIT: Just saw the mention of P2P not being supported. But ToS (http://vpn.sh/tos.html) does not mention this!!

  • FirstWizard on 06/08/2015 - 11:27

    done !!
    paypal conversion rate was shit though, I forgot to change it in Paypal checkout

    Like many experienced the customer service is a problem. Takes along time to reply and it became irrelevant when they finally replied. Fair enough to say this service not for p2p.

    I didn't purchase this $1 VPN service for torrenting or p2p and it was limited download anyway. But i got it for occasional use for emails and browsing the web when i am outside using free wifi (eg. mall, restaurants, hotel etc) thinking it will be safer and won't be tracked. Many free wifi offered now track you to offer targeted ads etc.

    Still i didn't get good experience with my usage. Servers keep changing hard to keep up and very slow at times.

    I hope they can improve the customer service and their vpn service.

    So…to buy or not to buy?

    • Zachary on 06/08/2015 - 13:18

      Well I'm not because torrenting/p2p is disabled, that and the various comments on customer service and that they don't seem to offer complete anonymous web usage(which is my #1 concern regarding VPN use)….

      I am currently trialing Hide My IP VPN service to see if it's any good(still got a couple or so, maybe less months of trial time left)….

      It depends what you want to use it for and whether willing to take risk of about $2. If you want to use it for p2p or going to use it a lot you can forget this deal. Like some said $2 not going to get much. Go for premium service like PureVPN. I have good experience with them.

      For me, if the service is not improving I will not renew it. For $2 I was willing to give it a try.

  • Davros on 06/08/2015 - 12:12

    So its pretty obvious that this VPN is pretty ordinary and unusable for some of us but it is only $2 so really, what did you expect.
    You get what you pay for so pay some more and get one that's good.

    • JackyBrown on 06/08/2015 - 13:19

      Can't agree more.

    • TilacVIP on 06/08/2015 - 15:49

      And thats exactly how they make their money.

      It's only $2.00!!!

      WHy else would they give you such a deal where you couldn't find another deal like this from another VPN provider anywhere, not even close to it?
