Hi Guys and Girls,

Private Internet Access are now offering a 3 year contact for their service.

Just seen this on their site and thought I'd share as I have with their other deals. Shame as I'm still on my current two year plan deal and they don't allow you to stack deals, For current members to get this deal you will have to cancel your current membership and resign up, as confirmed by their support.

Private Internet Access VPN Features:

5 devices simultaneously
No Logs
SOCKS5 Proxy Included
Unlimited Bandwidth
p2p friendly
No Logging
Compatible with all popular desktop and mobile operating systems

Unsure how long this deal will last but their old 2 year deal has been on-going for a while so only time will tell.

    Please note: US Netflix is now blocked via PIA.

      not many of them do as all their ip's are banned and accounts are flagged by Netflix limiting you to watch the US store only on a pc

      • yacman on 13/03/2016 - 17:21

        how do you still watch it on PC?

        well that's not true and they don't limit you to watching US store, they don't let you watch at all.
        There's still VPN's who work, but smartDNS's are a much better.

        As for PIA. I've never used them, but there seems to be lots of posts on Whirlpool & Reddit which say their speeds are getting quite slow. So if you can find (or ask them for) a trial then try it.

        Good news on their privacy (No logs is BS), but they rebuffed the FBI last year trying to track down someone (they were caught a different way).
        https://www.reddit.com/r/VPN/comments/49lezz/pias_no_logs_po…

        But then again can get TorGuard for $us30/yr using TGLifetime50
        they have 1000+ servers & claim the same (BS claim) of No logs.

        Or NordVPN for $us36/yr using 70off

        Keep an eye on https://www.reddit.com/r/vpncoupons for discount codes

          well that's not true and they don't limit you to watching US store, they don't let you watch at all.

          they flag your netflix account and limit you to watching the US store if you're using a known vpn IP address ONLY ON THE PC IT STILL WORKS!

          stop talking crap

        • Jake D on 14/03/2016 - 12:32

          @Makoto: Not on any of my PCs, it doesn't.

        • [Deactivated] on 14/03/2016 - 13:19

          @Makoto: Didn't flag mine, certainly wouldn't let me watch US Netflix via various VPN services - worked fine on SmartDNS services.

          And how would you be able to watch Netflix US is you don't use a VPN/SmartDNS?
          But I'm sure lots of people would be delighted to be stuck with a US Netflix catalogue :-)

          As for PC only works - that sounds like you've using the lastest Android App without blocking google DNS? SOme of the other apps might have been updated, it's nothing to do with using a PC per se.

          @Jake D: ugh

          if netflix flag your account and you're using a known vpn or proxy ip they limit you so you CANNOT watch the US netflix library on multiple devices. it STILL however works on a PC TO WATCH THE US NETFLIX STORE

          WATCHING ANY OTHER STORE IS PERFECTLY FINE

          even getflix idiots are reporting it happening

          Getflix ‏@GetflixAU Mar 7
          For all non-tagged accounts can still access US Netflix from any device.

    PIA is slow as shit for me connecting to syd or melb nodes

    i get 100kb/sec max

    • BensonP on 13/03/2016 - 13:42
      +7

      That's a real shame to hear that.

      I also connect to Sydney and Melbourne, and can easily max out my internet bandwidth, which is around 950kbps.

      Great price for a great service!

      • leeroys_dad on 13/03/2016 - 14:16

        hmmm. what should i do then!? weird

      • jelko on 13/03/2016 - 15:25

        950 kilobits per second or 950 kilobytes per second?

        • BensonP on 13/03/2016 - 15:28

          Oops! KiloBYTES :)

      • stonkered on 14/03/2016 - 16:01

        I think the better your connection the worse it is. 100Mbps you might get 30 - 40Mbps.

    • lukey159 on 13/03/2016 - 13:46

      Shocked to hear, Not slow for me either and I connect to syd and melb, actually connected to syds now and no issue..

      Have you sent them a 'slow speed complaint' or contacted them?

    • sween64 on 13/03/2016 - 13:51
      +1

      I can get up to 5 MB/s through my utorrent client regularly. I haven't run speed tests for awhile but the best I've had was 7 MB/s. I'm on Optus Cable with a max speed of 12.5 MB/s.

      • stonkered on 14/03/2016 - 16:03

        Recently? That's pretty uncommon from my own experience and most others I hear.

        • sween64 on 14/03/2016 - 20:16

          Yep. A few times this week.

        • stonkered on 14/03/2016 - 21:01

          @sween64:

          Sh#t, I need to check my setup.

      That's weird, I get close to my 50mbit speed whilst connected with the windows client

      • [Deactivated] on 13/03/2016 - 19:47

        Same, close to my max speed.

    • trustnoone on 13/03/2016 - 22:58

      I know multiple people saying the same thing, personally I use alternative nodes and get great speeds, for toronto I get speeds of 1.1MBps approx. I find that pretty much most other nodes are better then the AUS ones for me.

    • Praeto on 14/03/2016 - 10:56

      Something is wrong then, as that's not representative of their speeds. Everyone I know in my area using their Syd / Mel sites can max their connections. I'm on ADSL2, and it does 1300KB/s here (which is almost identical to my max without VPN).

    • uniqualz on 14/03/2016 - 12:46

      My sh*t's lightning fast as it is. YMMV.

    • twig on 14/03/2016 - 14:42

      How do you have it configured? You must be going through a really far node.

    LOL don't bother with PIA. When I inquired about the Netflix blocking their IPs, they simply told me they weren't going to do ANYTHING about it. I'm stuck with them for another year but save yourselves and get other VPNs.

    • Kooratz on 13/03/2016 - 14:52

        Why would you encode, re-route, and decrypt your entire traffic to use Netflix when you can just use a cheaper cloaking service?

          +1

          exactly…dns4me.net with FB like & lovewp coupon is around $22/yr
          Worth it just to watch multi-region Netflix, NRL live/replays (livestream Brazil) & WillowTV.

        • oz-dave on 14/03/2016 - 10:23

          @supabrudda:

          According to the banner on their own site, dns4me may not be working with Netflix anymore…

          Netflix Issues - It seems Netflix has added geo checks to the video domains we are investigating the issue to see if anything can be done.

        • [Deactivated] on 14/03/2016 - 13:10

          @supabrudda: Oh well you can always sign up to a 14 day free trial & see.

          There's also a few other DNS services. But anyway worst comes to worst it much be time to fire up a roll your own VPN/proxy.

    • Praeto on 14/03/2016 - 10:58

      Now that Netflix is actively blocking the IPs of VPN and VPS companies, you're going to be hard pressed to find companies that will reliably work.

    • dazweeja on 15/03/2016 - 23:22

      Can you point to me to the page on their website where they advertise that they unblock Netflix? Why would they bother doing anything about it when it's not a service that they claim to offer?

  • justcallmeboss on 13/03/2016 - 14:20

    I've been having tonnes of issues with PIA lately, I regret having bought a 12 month plan…. Barely connects to Singapore or Hong Kong.

    • marko62 on 13/03/2016 - 14:45

      very occasionally it will refuse to connect to anywhere. Usually exit the client and reopen fixes the problem. If not it takes a computer restart.
      As for speed i can usually get about 75% of my connection speed, modem is synced at 6809 downloading between 400-500KB/s

      • [Deactivated] on 13/03/2016 - 22:48

        A computer restart won't fix anything on a VPN. It's co-incidence at best.
        A disconnect-reconnect (after a delay) might connect you to another server, which might see a speed improvement.

        • Jake D on 14/03/2016 - 12:36

          I connect to PIA at router level. Restarting my router fixes connection issues 90% of the time.

        • [Deactivated] on 14/03/2016 - 13:08

          @Jake D: VPN's are like a light switch, they're on or off.
          If you torrent, then that often floods the router DNS tables, so a restart clears that & will increase speeds. I used to have mine on a timer switch so it's power off/on every 6 hours, which helped a treat.

    • stonkered on 15/03/2016 - 07:02

      Try Melbourne or Sydney, I use Melbourne with a script to auto connect and write to file upon disconnect and the log file is empty, IE, it has literally never dropped or been unable to connect.

  • rgr on 13/03/2016 - 17:26

    so for those who are blocked from netflix via PIA - have you looked into using smartflix?

    • Twodogs on 13/03/2016 - 19:33

      Or Uflix as they say they have a workaround for US netflix.

      EDIT:https://uflix.com.au/netflix-fix-stage-1-of-3-complete/

    • Jake D on 14/03/2016 - 12:38

      Funny thing. If you use smartflix, it doesn't hide your IP if the content you're trying to watch is "Local".

      So if I use PIA to show my IP as being in the US, and then use smartflix, I can't watch any US content!

      • nothommus on 14/03/2016 - 13:48
        +1

        This is smart though, means people who use smartflix can use quota free netflix on applicable ISP's in australia while watching australian content.

  • NotJustChickenDinner on 13/03/2016 - 20:25

    So does it matter where you the select the city for p2p? I normally select Germany but it is better to select something more local?

    • rgr on 13/03/2016 - 20:50

      don't think so - from experience netflix has a buffering protocol where you get better quality as soon as it completes it's first pass of streaming.

    • stonkered on 15/03/2016 - 07:04

      P2P shouldn't matter where the server is as far as throughput goes.

    Guys, the website says $99.95 not $89.95.
    Do we need a coupon or something?

    • MilkDrinker on 13/03/2016 - 22:03

      Mine says $89.95/3 years (Only $2.50/month).

      No, you don't need a coupon.

      But I will wait for a $30 US a year deal, a lot of stuff can happen in 3 years and I don't use netflix from the US

    • EnALup on 14/03/2016 - 22:20

    I think a better way to get PIA if you're on Android is purchase a couple of Telstra starter kits when they're cheap, activate 2 of them, transfer the credit from one to another (via creditme2u), then purchase a 12 month subscription through the PIA app (currently $41.48) and bill to Telstra account.

    I haven't tried this yet, but plan to try it when my subscription runs out later this month.

    • [Deactivated] on 13/03/2016 - 22:49

      Silly Q, but why would you use a VPN for Twitch?

      • chipstss on 13/03/2016 - 22:53

        Because in certain circumstances its too slow without one, unpartnered streams can buffer because of routing/throttling.

    Can anyone here tell me of a VPN that will allow you to watch US netflix? The comments seem to be a resounding no for PiA at the moment. I bought a 6 month subscription to Nord after reading a review on www.reviewmyvpn.com and they have been really good, however I have been getting region blocked for Netflix since about January. It's pretty frustrating given that I pretty much soley purchased a VPN so I could pirate Game of Thrones and watch US Netflix

  • smurfinaus on 20/03/2016 - 18:33

    Are there any PIA deals for those not looking for 12 months?
