A few dollars more than last time but good if you've been holding out for an existing subscription to expire and need to buy soon. You have 30 days to redeem if you want to squeeze out every last minute.

It's a given with PIA deals that you need to create a new account each time. It's no big deal (heh) and much cheaper than renewing.

AUD price shown is based on PayPal. Pay in USD using 28 Degrees, Citibank, BankWest etc to save another dollar or two.

    I've been using these for a couple of years, very good.

      Second this.

    I suggest waiting for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals

    • [Deactivated] on 30/10/2017 - 12:46

      Not sure what you're basing this on.

      Last Black Friday with coupons was $25.50 for one year which is 4 cents more expensive per year.

      The last time this same price was posted it gained 199 votes. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/302881

      As I already noted, the most recent deal was in fact a few dollars cheaper and I also said this deal is "good if you've been holding out for an existing subscription to expire and need to buy soon".

        But for those sales last year this wasn't true: "It's a given with PIA deals that you need to create a new account each time."

        I'll wait until the PIA (as opposed to Groupon) deals so I don't have to muck around creating a new account.

      Getflix is perfect for that and is super cheap

      • Joey Jo Jo on 30/10/2017 - 14:59

        can you use Getflix as a normal VPN on-line as well, are speeds okay?

        • sav11 on 31/10/2017 - 00:21

          Yes you can, the license includes the VPN and smart DNS services as a bundle. But their VPN speeds are slow. They have a fair few servers but it's too slow so I don't use their VPN, just have it as a backup.

        how do i get getflix?

      • mikstylo on 30/10/2017 - 18:49

        After the recent crackdown, getflix only works via the browser. None of the other Netflix apps work for now.

          @eediot: Are you able to access Netflix from any other device? Can you please elaborate? The below is from their website and that is what I am experiencing:

          https://www.getflix.com.au/netflix-update

          "Netflix Updates
          Currently US Netflix is only supported on computer browsers. We don't have any ETA for other devices at this time. We are working to make other devices available as quickly as possible."

        • eediot on 31/10/2017 - 19:57

          @mikstylo: Netflix app on my S8 phone casted to a Chromecast on my Samsung TV. Tested 5 minutes ago watching The Final Master which is apparently not available on Netflix Australia.

          Tried setting up the static routes?

    • thelovebelow on 30/10/2017 - 16:03

      Agreed on this FabMan, specifically netflix support got cut and was stuck for another 11 months with the VPN. (Mostly bought it for that reason, however the VPN to global connections did work properly)

    • johnthepg on 30/10/2017 - 16:15

      Never used UK or US Netflix.

      Is there that much of a difference to the Aus Netflix? Enough to pay for getflix?

      • [Deactivated] on 31/10/2017 - 10:28

        US Netflix has more movies than us. They have 4500 movies, while we have 1500.

  • paradoxez on 30/10/2017 - 13:28

    Dumb question here, since the company seem to be based on US what would happen if the net neutrality bill have passed on US? Would the service be shut down or something?

    • shortblack9 on 31/10/2017 - 09:18

      Net neutrality in the immediate short term is something that would affect only users of US ISPs. In the longer term, infrastructure that Australians use to get to sites in the USA may become affected.

      You can basically see this as the beginning of "toll roads" on the superhighway by infrastructure providers.

      • Diji1 on 31/10/2017 - 12:48

        Meanwhile almost the entire world including Australia is using the internet with zero net neutrality protections and everything's fine.

  • AliensStoleMyMoney on 30/10/2017 - 13:29

    i have used PIA and they provide a great service…..but they are within a country that is part the 5 eyes global security, so if they we required to give up their records they would as they would have to.
    NordVPN is a better option if true security is what you are looking for.

    • wholistic on 30/10/2017 - 16:47

      I thought the whole point of their privacy policy was that they don't keep any records.

    • MrFunSocks on 30/10/2017 - 17:31

      They don't keep any logs, and pretty sure they have said they would shut down if they were forced to.

    • sween64 on 30/10/2017 - 17:36

      They don't keep logs. It was tested in court by a subpoena by the FBI link

    • TrendyTim on 31/10/2017 - 13:25

      I moved from PIA to Nord (when my PIA expired and Nord had 2 years for $72).

      I heard good things about them, but am less than impressed with NordVPN
      * Their SOCKS5 ( at least used to) be very dodgy, had to keep changing the server name to get one that worked (though it has been stable the last month or so).
      * Today NordVPN informed me that my 2 year plan had finished despite there being over 1 year left, i had to contact support and get it fixed up, though it cost them a lot of credibility in my books, i doubt i will stay with them when my 2 years are up, hopefully i can find a good deal in november next year with a better provider.

    Just wondering, what you guys use VPN for? Torrenting?

    • chingy213 on 30/10/2017 - 15:53

      I do for that…

      PIA is good for that..

      im on 100mbs NBN and via PIA VPN I get 60mbs

      • EBC on 30/10/2017 - 16:26

        Which server are you using to get those speeds? Local Australian ones? I have never managed much more than 5mb/s with PIA on any of the servers I have tested. To be fair I haven't really stress tested it lately though.

        • chingy213 on 01/11/2017 - 15:47

          Yes, the Melbourne server.

        • Ringu on 01/11/2017 - 21:56

          Same here, always get a max of 5mb/s with PIA on torrents…

      Just basic privacy principles really. When the local council, the RSPCA, Harness Racing NSW, and the Victorian Taxi Services Commission have warrantless access to your browsing history there is a big, big problem.

      It’s a shame and counterproductive in that it’s driving people to use VPNs. I have nothing to hide and have no problem with court ordered release of records provided it’s for genuine reasons like counterterrorism and used in privacy-appropriate ways. You know, like not accessible by the Victorian Taxi Commission…….

    • jason101 on 30/10/2017 - 17:22

      Used it last week - terrible. I am not sure if that is because the 4G connection (roaming via Telstra) was terrible anyway on my iphone, but it was unusable. It was also unusable (slow - timing out) using the hotel wifi via my Surfacepro and ipad 10.5. The HK server seemed to be the closest so I manually tried connecting to that - didn't make a difference.

      In the end I turned it off and didn't use it, wechat is better than facebook messenger anyway.

    • Kamsi on 30/10/2017 - 17:42

      PIA is terrible in China! When I was in China for 2 months, I had to purchase a subscription from another VPN provider because it was almost impossible to connect to PIA.

      You're better off with smaller VPN providers that the government won't target directly such as IronSocket
