    Hi there,

    I'm Liam from VPN.sh - feel free to direct any questions you may have about our VPN service to me :). It's about time for me to head off to bed (I'm in the UK), however I'll be around when I wake!

    A few things which people may be interested in:

    • As of right now, we do NOT allow torrenting on our network. We plan to allow this on specific torrenting servers starting in May. Please see http://vpn.sh/torrents
    • The service has been running to a very acceptable standard for a long time now. If you've had issues with the service in the past, open a support ticket on your account, and I'll provide you with a free month of service so that you can see that the service has very much had a turnaround.
    • Netflix USA isn't working as of right now, however we'll be adding USA Streaming servers which should work with Netflix within the next few weeks, which all clients (existing and new) will have access to.
    • We don't log the data which you access whilst connected to the service.

    I hope that clarifies a few things which you may be interested in. If there's anything else, as mentioned, just drop a line in here and I'll get back to you.

    Cheers,
    Liam

      Hi Liam,

      Can I confirm if this VPN would work if you are connecting from mainland China as well?

      I occasionally require to travel there and would definitely be very helpful if this would work for connection from China.

        Hi there,

        As mentioned by @triviums, our service doesn't work (for the most part) in China. Unfortunately they've placed our server behind their firewall.

        Sorry about this!

        Liam

        • nospirit on 02/04/2016 - 12:41

          Actually, it does work in China, though not consistently. It varies depends on the isp, location, server, protocol, time of the month, etc.
          Last I used this in China was about 2 weeks ago, I can generally get access by switching server/protocol within 3 tries.

      So what happened to those of us who had money in your FixedRoute account but that disappeared/closed down and we lost our money?

      Netflix doesn't appear to work on this VPN (in case someone was thinking of this).

        I had fixedroute … got an email from them when they were closing down and they had instructions on how to request a refund. Was easy and refund came through. Have now been using vpn.sh for casual use and considering the price am happy for general browsing when travelling using public hotspots.

If not, please PM me with the email address from which you sent the PayPal payment, and I'll double check at our end and process a refund for you.

        • [Deactivated] on 02/04/2016 - 10:27

          I actually thought I was reasonable & asked for the credit to be moved to vpn.sh (so it doesn't even cost them money). But no response was received,

          Alas I can't login (there's no option on the site any more) to log a support ticket.
          If I remember correctly it was my.fixedroute.com I was able to login but the support ticket didn't work (hence using email).

          Anyway ask for the vpn.sh I've commented on them before.
          For a cheap & cheerful VPN service you certainly get good value for your money.
          I wouldn't use them as your only provider as they often have issues on the weekend. Being UK based issues (such as unable to connect) often don't get fixed until Monday evening Oz time. Their speeds are quite quick (I used to use them for streaming Livestream.com & they worked better then other more expensive providers such as IBVPN & Witopia.

          I never received the email you apparently sent about the closure (not in spam, etc). The last one was the apology & compo offer of 5 free months on 28 June 2015.
          Of course a trustworthy operator wouldn't need custoemrs to log a support request, they'd do it automatically.

    Noob question - I have a subscription to one of the international soccer leagues. While I can watch that particular country's league matches they block the Premier and Spanish leagues. Would this allow me to watch those as well or still prevent me as they would simply look at my email address when I login and see that I am in Aus?

        Hi there,

        Which website is the subscription with? I'll need to verify from this end to see what's available, as different sites perform different blocking procedures.

        The service is normally priced at £5/month (roughly $9.30 AUD), so this is a very heavily discounted price (and likely to be our final low-price yearly offering).

      Extract the zip file to your OpenVPN install directory under the config subdirectory (so C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config for me).

      Then, run OpenVPN GUI which should pop up in your notification area. Rightclick that and under the submenu for a country, click connect. Your username and password are available from the client area : http://www.vpn.sh/clients/index.php under My Services.

      To disconnect, use the same submenu for the country you are connected to. This must be done if you want to change countries by the way.

    Folks, stay away from this. I subscribed last time and while the service was okay for first month or so, issues started up including software glitches, disconnects, software showing as VPN connected, while an IPLookup showing your original location. And absolutely no support from the guys.

      I had a fair bit of trouble using OpenVPN with this as well.

      Then I noticed they also support L2TP/IPSec. So you can set it up with Windows/Android built in network/VPN support. No problems now. Everything works as advertised, connects/disconnects quickly, and the tunnel is reliably used.

    newbie question, so dont laugh :)
    I connected the vpn to watch BBC, it is working on my Android tablet, but I cannot connect the tablet to my Chromecast. Anyway to have them connected, eg should the vpn be installed on a router instead? Any tips/links?

    thank you!

    • Store RepLiamWithers @ VPN.SH on 02/04/2016 - 22:12

      Hi there,

      Yes, that's correct, you'd need to get the VPN installed on your router instead (which can be a quite a pain for a large amount of routers). I'm a big Chromecast user myself, and feel your pain!

      Essentially, when you tell an app on your Android tablet to send something to the Chromecast, the Chromecast will then try to directly stream the content over your network, rather than going through the tablet. This means that even if your Android tablet is on a VPN, if the router isn't, then you won't be able to access the content that you're trying to stream.

      One simple "solution" (not really an ideal solution, but it's a workaround I guess) for this, is to load the content that you wish to access on a PC or laptop using Google Chrome, and to cast the specific tab that has the streaming content over to the Chromecast. This can be done with the Google Cast Extension.

      Alternatively, if your Android tablet allows you to cast the entire device to your Chromecast (here's a tutorial for it: link ), then you can play the content on your Android device and cast the entire screen to your Chromecast, which should also work.

      Hope that helps!

      Cheers,
      Liam

      • [Deactivated] on 03/04/2016 - 08:52

        Thanks for your reply, Liam,

        I have tried so far option #2, to do a screen cast from the tablet - no luck, the Chromecast app cannot find the Chromecast hardware when VPN connected.

        Will try #1 today.

    Hi all,
    I joined in earlier today and got activated a few hours later. The following is my experience which I like to share :
    1. I connected to their Aus servers using Mac. I chose Aus because I would like to know their speed and I think as long as the authority does not know me who is the streaming but somebody in Australia then I dont really care (there are some 25 millions people in Oz).
    2. I use PPTP and my Mac give me warning being not to secure but this can be fixed using OpenVPN. I just need to get Mac OSX OpenVPN client (Tunnelblick springs to my mind), and download their server location files then it should be fine. So if you use Android (which I will test later) then OpenVPN is recommended.
    3. I streamed a few Chinese and Japanese news site. These are live TV playing in HD. Results were good. I did not get any stuttering.
    4. Then I used Kodi/Exodus to stream Deadpool for about 10 minutes in HD - results were good also, played smoothly.
    5. Browsing speed also good.

    So, for around $6/yr, I certainly say their service is a bang for money. I have an PIA account too btw but I paid around USD30/yr with them. PIA gave me better user experience because they have provided me with their client application so I was up and running within minutes with them.
    However, for just $6/yr and for my streaming needs - I give VPN.SH a thumbs up.

    If no torrent no go. Let us know which server we can use torrents then I will think about that $6

    Where is the promised Windows 10 tutorial it's been over 24hrs now. I bought this yesterday and the 64bit vista+ software I installed looks nothing like in the windows 7 tutorial software. Paid for vpn that I can't use.

    • tinkko on 04/04/2016 - 07:00

      someone helped me to setup with WIN10 and it's working:
      Extract the zip file to your OpenVPN install directory under the config subdirectory (so C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config for me).

      Then, run OpenVPN GUI which should pop up in your notification area. Rightclick that and under the submenu for a country, click connect. Your username and password are available from the client area : http://www.vpn.sh/clients/index.php under My Services.

      To disconnect, use the same submenu for the country you are connected to. This must be done if you want to change countries by the way.

        Thanks very much for that, worked a treat.
        Watching nz tv with no problems with download so far.

        Just a bummer with the openvpn you have to manually enter your user and password everytime to change region as well as the timezone on windows to suit the region…

      • leocp7 on 04/04/2016 - 22:10

        Thank you very much this worked for me now!

        From my experience you are better off skipping OpenVPN and using the L2TP/IPSec option built into Windows (You also won't need to enter your username and password every time).

        • VPN type is L2TP/IPSec with pre-shared key
        • Server names are in the config files you downloaded (e.g usawestcoast.vpnshserver.com)
        • Your initial subscription confirmation would have contained the pre-shared key.
        • Type of sign in is User name and password (and you should already know those

        That should be enough info to get you up and running on windows/android/etc.

    Perhaps you could add some Latino endpoints: Brazil, Argentina, Mexico? They can be useful for acquiring games cheaply.

  • frowny on 04/04/2016 - 14:57

    How long did it take everyone else to have their payment confirmed? Still waiting for mine.

    • splats on 04/04/2016 - 15:18

      Couple of hours for me.
      May take some time cause its over in england or something? So different timezone…

      • frowny on 04/04/2016 - 16:29

        Bought it at 9am AEST, still nothing. Not looking good for customer service if it's empty on a Sunday.
