    While PIA has served me well for a number of years when my renewal is up I will be switching to NORDvpn

    • Kiwi131313 on 13/07/2019 - 11:16

      Why is that?

        His favourite YouTuber's recommended it, obviously

    • JJlikes2eat on 13/07/2019 - 11:17

      Reason? (I'm also using PIA but might consider changing)

      • captaincabinets on 13/07/2019 - 13:03
        +4

        I'm changing the other way. I'm hearing from users that PIA is faster than Nord

        • benneb2 on 13/07/2019 - 14:48

          Same - im changing for port fowarding.

    • jleno on 13/07/2019 - 13:24

      PIA doesn't get around geoblock well (eg Optus Sport)

    • BradH13 on 13/07/2019 - 13:35
      +2

      I did the reverse years ago. Was with Nord, now spent 2 years with PIA. PIA has been miles faster and more reliable for me. Wouldn't consider changing again as PIA ticks all my boxes in a VPN provider. YMMV though.

  • Thypeople on 13/07/2019 - 11:34

    Not sure why but Netflix randomly works with PIA running. Some days I get the proxy error other days I don't.

    • DoaAn on 13/07/2019 - 12:16

      I think it depends on whether the IP you end up with is blocked/flagged as a VPN by Netflix.

  • corbz on 13/07/2019 - 12:31

    PIA are in the 'Five Eyes' jurisdiction. Your data isn't private with this VPN. They have been verified to keep "no logs" but that can change without your knowledge (and has happened before to other VPN providers). (USA-based, Patriot Act).

    They're still subject to data retention laws. There are better options if this is a concern for anyone.

    Here's a good comparison site:

      Great website cheers :-) Luckily mine ticks the boxes that are important to me (Ivacy) Was surprised at a few red boxes with Torguard I thought they were a top tier VPN. Lucky a great deal came up on Ivacy a while back just as my Torguard was finishing.

    • greater mimic on 13/07/2019 - 15:51

      has anyone tried trust zone? they seems to be rated quite highly and their pricing doesn't look too bad.

  • paul11 on 13/07/2019 - 13:21

    Can anyone confirm if US Netflix works with this ? I am getting conflicting answers. Some say it works, some say it doesn't.

    • BradH13 on 13/07/2019 - 13:33
      +3

      You're getting those answers because sometimes it does work, and sometimes it doesn't. Depends if that particular IP you have been assigned has been flagged by Netflix or not.

      As a guide though, PIA do not officially support Netflix use.

    • Bargaingeek on 13/07/2019 - 13:53

      It doesn’t work most of the time, get Ivacy or nord

      • captaincabinets on 13/07/2019 - 15:02

        Bear in mind that even though Nord supports it, it doesn't necessarily have the speed to support HD or above. I have 100mbs connection and got pixellated results on international streaming

  • cpox10 on 13/07/2019 - 13:27

    Works for me

  • trantonz on 13/07/2019 - 13:46

    This or Ivacy or ExpressVPN?

    • bwatt72 on 13/07/2019 - 13:52

      Was thinking the same ivacy is or was cheap lifetime vpn or this.

  • Bargaingeek on 13/07/2019 - 13:52

    I used PIA for more than 8 years unfortunately they dumped geoblocking , it only works sometimes randomly for Netflix and other geoblocks. This is caused mass Exodus from PIA to other services

    I ended up switching to IVACY after trying many other alternatives happy to say they are really good. PIA is def the best in terms of speed but look into Ivacy if you are also looking for going around geoblock

    • paul11 on 13/07/2019 - 13:58

      Thanks mate, Is this a good deal for Ivacy ? USD 80 for 5 years.

        Ivacy VPN Lifetime Subscription US $24.00 (AU ~$33.72

      • bwatt72 on 13/07/2019 - 14:30

        No you can get it for $24 usd lifetime i think i might just grab that,i pay for my netflix usa and use getlix but was thinking of a vpn but do i need it as never needed one for yrs.

        • ModBot on 14/07/2019 - 13:48

          Have you guys tried streaming Netflix US on Ivacy ? I'd give it a go if it has worked. I'm on NBN 50 - how much loss is there ?

  • preasm14 on 13/07/2019 - 14:28

    FYI, just signed up with surfshark. So far US Netflix works using PC, Android phone and and LG web OS. No buffering and streaming good. Speed test from my PC connected via WiFi to US server is around 50M. Without VPN is around 70M.

  • Godric on 13/07/2019 - 15:17

    It's a good deal

  • RPGPlayer on 13/07/2019 - 15:46

    Thank you, I just missed out on the previous offer. For torrents, PIA offers excellent speeds with NBN. I hope that these deals do not diminish the quality of their services.

  • AussieMark on 13/07/2019 - 18:36

    Express vpn seems the best but most expensive

    $6.66 per month on sale.

    I noticed like others said some don't work with Netflix or Hulu

    Some don't work in China and have been flagged by the powers that be

    • MoBeigi on 25/07/2019 - 21:21

      I tried Express VPN but it was really slow and caused me a bunch of other issues. Got a refund and going back to PIA.

  • shraky on 13/07/2019 - 19:33

    Can I buy the license now and add on my existing account?

    • cindernat on 14/07/2019 - 10:54

      I'd like to know also …

      • FatBoyNotSoSlim on 15/07/2019 - 18:51

        I signed up and it created a new account for me once I redeemed the StackSocial key on their site (It's a Gift Card redemption).

        I'd say there's a chance that you can contact support with the code to get the extra 3 years combined onto your original account.

        I've just contacted them now about combining my accounts.

  • [Deactivated] on 13/07/2019 - 20:57

    Anyone done comparisons with Windsribe? I am using Windscribe at the moment. Telstra cable 100/5 Sydney. Getting about 90% speed on average with Sydney servers with 2ms latemcy loss.

  • xecutor on 13/07/2019 - 21:44

    As this is sold by a 3rd party (Social stack) this will not auto-renew once it expires. Although PIA does have many discounted deals all year round. So if your on a good bi-yearly or yearly plan already with PIA you might want to consider whether it's worth it or not.

  • [Deactivated] on 14/07/2019 - 00:14

    I always found PIA is top choice for everyone here but some people disagree with their speed and geo-blocking also PIA are in the 'Five Eyes' jurisdiction what to say about this?

    • lostn on 15/07/2019 - 11:12

      It means use at own risk.

      Unless you are using it for illegal activity, there is no real fear of them giving you up to whoever is after you.

      If you illegally download a movie, sure someone might want to fine you.

      But if you're using it for privacy or geoblocking, no one is going to want to prosecute you for that. You will never get yourself onto their radar in the first place.

  • customundo on 14/07/2019 - 07:46

    Why VPN when you can just torrent? 🤔

    • Randolph Duke on 14/07/2019 - 14:25

      What does one have to do with the other? If anything if you’re torrenting you’d want to be using a VPN

    • AussieMark on 14/07/2019 - 18:08

      use MiRC

      Torrent are being watchy

  • wanj on 14/07/2019 - 13:21

    Windscribe was way cheaper than this.

    • 6828 on 18/07/2019 - 08:33

      Looking on the Windscribe site it has a discount of 44% off per year at $4.08 per month ($49 USD per year). Am I missing something here ? Do they have better deals at times ?

  • MoBeigi on 25/07/2019 - 21:26

    I purchased from these guys 2 years ago on last deal.
    Just purchased again, the coupon code is still working as of now.
