Oeck - Next Generation VPN ~A$108.94 for 24 Months (First New 100 Customers Only)

211

Hi everyone,

This offer is limited to the first 100 customers and the offer expires Jan 3rd ( or until 100 slots are purchased ). It is available for new customers only. This is billed as a once-off purchase of ~$108.95 AUD and gives you 24 months of access. Normally this would cost ~$316.96 AUD when paying monthly for 24 months.

Oeck is a new type of VPN with industry-first features. We own all of our own hardware and do not use hard drives at all. Our VPN nodes are RAM only and we do not log user VPN traffic or activity. Our system is automated so that you don't need to go server surfing to find a server for channels such as Netflix, Hulu, etc. Simply connect to the VPN region closest to you and we take care of the rest. We have 30 Netflix regions available and many other streaming services.

  • Do you offer port forwarding?

    • +2

      Hi mitchins,

      Yes we do! We also offer a very advanced port forwarding feature. You can read about it at https://www.oeck.com/manual/learn/port-forwarding/

      This makes it really easy for the user to set up and is much more user friendly than port forwarding features found on traditional VPN services.

      Regards,
      Peter @ Oeck.

  • Here are some of the features that make Oeck unique -

    Some of our unique features include;

    Streaming Automation - Connect to the VPN region nearest to your location and still access content from overseas streaming services. We take away the need for you to jump around VPN regions. You can also set regions for specific streaming services. For example you can set your Netflix region independently - similar to how a smartDNS service works. This means no more searching for the "right" server to connect to. Just connect to the VPN and we take care of the rest.

    Device Profiles - You can have up to 100. Each profile allows you to have unique settings for when you log in. For example, you can have one for your computer, another for your iPad, another for your partner, another for your child, etc.

    Advanced Port Forwarding - You no longer need to keep track of IP addresses or configure your software to work with the VPN ports you are given. Just tell us which port to forward to and which device profile and it's done.

    For example, if you set up a web server on your computer and enable port forwarding, regardless of which VPN server you ever connect to ( any server, any region ), to access your web server you would go to username-mydevice.oeck.me:portNumber - It stays the same :)

    Ad, Malware, Social Network and Adult blocker - You can pick and choose which ( if any ) of the blockers you want enabled for each device profile. This allows you to turn on Adult blocking for children's devices but keep yours open. It is also very extensive and does a good job of blocking most ad, tracker and malware domains.

    Custom filter - You can take the blockers even further by adding your own domain block-list on a per-device level. This gives you complete control over each and every device. This is very powerful and is easily built on.

    Custom DNS - You can set your DNS on a per-device level. You can choose for the VPN to give you complete control to your DNS, or set your DNS and still allow the VPN to take control over certain domains in order for the channels and blocking to still work. This means you can even use your own DNS if you wanted to.

    Automated server selection - When a user connects to a region they will always connect to a server with the most resources available. This completely removes the need to server-surf on the users end. They just connect to a region and they will be sure to jump on the server within that region that has the most resources available at that point in time.

    Peter @ Oeck.

    PIA, Nord, Surfshark etc can be brought for $12-20, for 2-3 years, using cashback.

    What’s the difference? $20 vs $108

    • +6

      Hi b0nd,

      You can read about the features I posted above that make us unique. We also use our own hardware only. Due to the way we built the service ( with the customer experience being the priority ) it makes it more expensive than other VPN services as a cost per customer. We have a thread on Whirlpool where you can follow their community feedback and get a better idea of how we do business. Our thread is located at https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9p8qxvl9

      Regards,
      Peter @ Oeck.

      I thought the verdict was PIA and others are cheap as they are harvesting user data.

  • when is a app coming for big sur?

    • +2

      Hi ilove,

      It should be available by February. In the mean time, Tunnelblick works a treat as all of our 'smarts' for the service are done on the server end and not in the VPN client. This allows users to use any OpenVPN client ( including routers ) and still be able to use all of our features. It was more work to implement, but ultimately it is a lot more user-friendly and it allows the choice of VPN client to remain with the user, rather than forcing them to use our own apps.

      Regards,
      Peter @ Oeck.

      • I just change my login password. And still I cannot login to tunnelbrick. I am using the right password as i've changed it. Is it cause I change it I need to wait some time?

        • Hi ilove,

          Can you please open a support ticket at www.oeck.com/support/ as different customers have different system setups.

          There should not need to be a waiting period. Please also ensure you don't have a % symbol in your password as that can sometimes cause issues ( it is rare, but it happens with some setups ). Support will be the fastest way to get you up and running :)

              Regards,

  • Looking for a new VPN, but not sure I’ll be confident pre-paying 24 months for the service that has (AFAIK) existed for less than a year. Might sign up if shorter periods are available.

      Hi MSG,

      Feel free to give us a go! It is free for 3 days and we do not require any payment information during this time. We currently offer 1 month, 6 month and 12 month subscriptions. But please try before you buy. We also hated the "opt out" standard VPN companies have standardised and just made the trial actually free.

  • Hey Store Rep/Peter,

    Just got to try it out, i use vpn to access https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B00MYLFP1M/ref=atv_dp… (example amazing race)

    with your product i cant access it? says its not available in region, any fix?

    Thanks, kerberos

    • +1

      Hi Kerberos,

      Thanks for giving us a shot!

      At the moment Amazon is not "automatically" unblocked. You will need to connect to a specific VPN region in order to be able to watch. For example, Seattle or London. However we are working on adding it automatically so you don't need to change regions. You can set Netflix to a specific region in your settings. Here is a list of our automatically unblocked channels we currently offer - https://www.oeck.com/pages/channelAutoGroup1/ and https://www.oeck.com/channels/channelGroupA/

      Regards,
      Peter @ Oeck.

      • Cool thanks, can i change regions on the go? Also how many different devices/users/can i have? I believe you had an example username-tablet

        • +1

          Hi kerberos,

          You're welcome!

          You can change regions just like you would any other VPN service. So that is to disconnect, select new region and connect again :)

          You can have 6 concurrent connections to the network. However, we do allow you 100 device profiles. You can read about what these are and how they work at https://www.oeck.com/manual/learn/device-profiles/ - they are very handy for setting up family devices and/or streaming devices.

          Regards,
          Peter @ Oeck.

  • Hi, Oeck. Can your VPN be used with Game stream Solutions ? Stadia, Geforce Now, for example ? i guess yes, but performances will be poor because of the final servers located to far from Aus, right ?

    • Hi Nasser67,

      The truth is we have not tested the VPN on these platforms whatsoever and unfortunately, I am unable to give you a definitive answer. Having said that, is should work. Please feel free to try it as we offer a 3 day trial ( no payment information needed ) and also let us know how it goes.

      When it comes to performance though, it should be quite good. Our network is using 2 upstream providers and they both peer with major networks such as Azure, Netflix, etc. We have had some gaming customers say their ping was improved when using the VPN, but this all comes down to how well your ISP routes traffic. But please feel free to give it a go and let us know what your results are!

      Regards,
      Peter @ Oeck.

      • Thank you for your answer. Just started a trial, connected to London. Stadia wont start because of the GEO restrictions. Geforce Now pre-test is bad.
        There is only 1 country for Europe ?London is the farest possible in Europe :(

          Hi Nasser67,

          Thanks for letting me know. I'll add this to our list of possible issues and see what can be done about it. Thanks again for testing.

          When you say the Geforce Now pre-test is bad, what was the problem with it? Also, have you tried different configurations for connecting ( such as UDP/TCP and 128/256 ). Different devices will get different speeds depending on how you connect.

          Regards,
          Peter @ Oeck.

  • Quickly.. how do I change Ip address and regions? Do I go lift a different Config profile each time?

    • Hi ilove,

      IP address changes automatically depending on which region you are connecting to. Are you using Tunnelblick? If so, you will need to download the config for the region you are accessing. You can do this either by downloading them one at a time, or in bulk. You can find them at https://www.oeck.com/downloads/ovpn/#cat-osx for Mac :)

      Regards,
      Peter @ Oeck.

      • I have config file in my setting. Does that one config file change IPs automatically? how?

        • Hi ilove,

          If I am understanding this correctly you are connecting using a different config file each time ( Sydney, Melbourne, etc ). If that is the case, yes, your IP is the IP of our VPN node you have connected to. This is how it should be working. If not, please open a support ticket so that we can assist you :)

          Regards,
          Peter @ Oeck.

    Not affiliated with Oeck but have been using their service the last couple of months. I only use it for basic stuff like US Netflix but very easy to setup and connect. Fair pricing considering you don't have to stuff around connecting to different VPN regions. Nil issues with speed either..

    • Hi BigBuddha,

      Thank you very much for that nice feedback! Glad to hear you enjoy our service!

      Happy new year!

      Regards,
      Peter @ Oeck.

    • +2

      Same as you BigBuddha, I have been using Oeck for several months and have found it is very, very reliable.

      I have it installed in a pfSense box, also in an ASUS RT-AC68U (US model) router, in a Windows 10 machine, in my Android phone and side loaded into an Nvidia Shield, it is rock solid 24/7 never missing a beat. What I particularly like about Oeck is that I connect to the Sydney server - some 1,700 km from Sydney as I live in an ATO classified 'very remote' outback location with the corresponding issues expected with distance. My setup is on a 50/20 NBN FTTN plan running on 931 metres of 40-year-old Telstra copper.

      Despite these obstacles, Oeck runs at almost top speed the line can provide ~ 45 Mbps DL, just 1 Mbps below speed without VPN. The benefit of not having to switch and swap servers to access overseas content such as US content Netflix is really, something else after all the years stuffing around with other VPN services.

      Oeck for me, is 'set and forget'.

      The support is also worth a mention, it is first class!

    " Under which jurisdiction is Oeck incorporated?

    For the safety of our customers, Oeck is incorporated in Hong Kong ( currently ).
    Oeck does not have any servers located in Hong Kong whatsoever.
    Hong Kong has good privacy laws at the moment. However, we have no doubt that China will keep chipping away at the rights of Hong Kong citizens, so we expect a "data retention" law to be passed as soon as they can. However, it won't mean businesses need to comply on that same day. It is a very large task so we would expect 12 month period for businesses to comply with the new laws if/when they pass. "

    I'm from Hong Kong originally, with the National Security Law in place, CCP can pretty much do anything they want in HK that's deemed a "National Security" (Basically anything)
    The NSL can bypass any existing Basic Law in Hong Kong and they don't even need a warrant from court to make arrests, freeze bank accounts and even transfer people back to China for secret trials

      Having said that, we like to stay ahead so we are getting everything ready to relocate to Singapore. They have good privacy laws and we believe it will be a suitable country for Oeck. It is not a quick process, but this is what will be best for our users and for us.

        Yes, and they ARE located in Hong Kong at this very moment

        • Hi Leedian,

          I suggest you read our FAQs thoroughly and read the law passed in Hong Kong thoroughly as well. This includes but is not limited to where our servers are, where we physically are, how our network is set up and how access is granted, etc. You should also link to the actual bill rather than an article written about what the bill can or can not do.

          Regards,
          Peter @ Oeck.

          • -2

            @OECK: Then why are you even planing to move out of HK if your physical location doesn't matter?

            Here's a link of the bill as you have requested
            https://www.gld.gov.hk/egazette/pdf/20202448e/egn2020244872.…

            This is the same type of "law" that are used in China for a long time to capture and silence anyone that opposes the government
            This is NOT a normal National Security Law like many western countries, which is meant to protect the nation from international threats
            This IS a law designed to silence people within the Nation

            One more note, this NSL is passed directly by the CCP, did not go through HK's legislative system like any other laws in Hong Kong
            And it was announced ONE HOUR before the law became active

            • @Leedian: What are your concerns with regards to where Oeck's business is incorporated at?

              • -1

                @the dooley: If they were "incorporated" in China, would you still trust them?
                With the NSL, HK isn't much different than China anymore

                • @Leedian: They ARE incorporated in China, and yes, I do trust them. Just because the business in incorporated in China, it doesnt mean that Peter and Cameron live there. Nor are any servers on China property.

                  So, I dont see why where the business is registered makes any difference to the day to day running of the services Oeck provide.
                  The business could be in the Cayman Islands or Uzbekistan for all I care, it doesnt matter.

                  And you didnt answer the question.

                  What are you concerned about? What are you thinking may happen if you use Oeck's servers and the bad guys are after you.

                    I suppose you're correct, but there's no mention on Oeck's website where their HQ is and if they run any staffs in HK

                    "What are you concerned about? What are you thinking may happen if you use Oeck's servers and the bad guys are after you."
                    I think most "secured" companies are safe until they are known to have a breach, but them picking HK to register in doesn't give me confidence simply because my distrust to the gov and the law.

                • @Leedian: Leedian,

                  I think you should read the actual bill and see what powers it has over companies rather than citizens of Hong Kong. There is a big difference between making something illegal for citizens and making something illegal for companies. For example, banks and other financial and security institutions use VPN technology. This will not be something passed overnight.

                  And in regards to your question "Then why are you even planing to move out of HK if your physical location doesn't matter?" - read the FAQs. It is about data retention. Since we don't log anything, the laws are still in favour of privacy for companies.

                  Regards,
                  Peter @ Oeck.

                  • @OECK: I've gone through your website, there's no mention of the location of your physical office/HQ other than HK (You only say no server in HK)
                    Maybe the law doesn't apply to companies but it does to people, not just HK citizens, if you have any employees in Hong Kong

                    Best of luck with your company but this is not for me for as long as you have ties with Hong Kong (When you don't have to)
                    I simply don't trust the HK gov and the law it holds any more

                    • @Leedian: "I've gone through your website, there's no mention of the location of your physical office/HQ other than HK (You only say no server in HK)"

                      We don't have an "oeck office" in HK. We only have a registered place of business for the company, which is 9th Floor, Amtel Building, 148 Des Voeux Rd Central, Central, Hong Kong - the office of the accountant.

                      "Maybe the law doesn't apply to companies but it does to people, not just HK citizens, if you have any employees in Hong Kong"

                      We don't have any employees in Hong Kong, or anywhere else for that matter. The two people running Oeck are Cameron and myself - both of us live in Melbourne.

                • @Leedian: Why not?

                  It seems china has had far fewer major breaches than the west in the past.

                  Also, since I dont live there, my browsing history is just…. Data… to them.

                  They could watch everything I do and still not be able to act upon it.

                  I don't work in any fields to do with national security, so regardless of what they harvest; with me NOT under their jurisdiction, what threat would it be to me?

                  Imo, a chinese or russian VPN is probably safest, because they're so cautious of letting western government see anything.

                  • @MasterScythe: "It seems china has had far fewer major breaches than the west in the past."
                    Sure they don't, because CCP has access to all of the servers within China, who bother to hack?
                    If one do get hacked, CCP also controls the news medias, and the internet within China

                    For the 2nd part, that's totally your decision to pick the lesser of evils of your choice

                    "they're so cautious of letting western government see anything"
                    I have to agree with that
                    I don't know about Russia but I'm quite sure you can't run a truly secured VPN within China, CCP would want to see everything

  • I have just tried the Win10 Oeck app.

    I have a FTTP 1000 service.

    No VPN = ~ 900Mbps
    Shark VPN = ~ 400Mbps
    Oeck VPN = 85 Mbps

    Is this the normal throughput ? Can Oeck go faster ?

    • Hi Colonel Flagg,

      Yes, you should be able to get more out of Oeck. It won't be able to give you 400Mbps as we run OpenVPN and not Wireshark at the moment, but you should be able to get around 300Mbps or so.

      Try different connection settings, such as UDP/TCP and 128/256 and mix and match. Your device will have its own preference of what will work the fastest on it.

      When doing the speed test, please also make sure it is not using fast.com as we proxy netflix and the speed results will be incorrect.

      If you run into any issues, please let me know.

  • I signed up for a trial account and connected to sydney using the built in asus openvpn client and i'm getting around 40mbps. Without the openVPN, i'm getting around 90mbps.

    using mac and windows, i can connect to US netflix and play US content. using android tv, it is saying i'm behind a proxy so cannot play the content - i'm playing fullmetal alchemist brotherhood

    • Hi deigoslang,

      Thanks for giving us a go!

      You may wish to try different configurations for your router. It also depends if your router supports AES-NI or not as that makes a big difference. Try UDP/TCP and 128/256 and mix and match. There will be one that will give you the best speed results.

      Android will likely need to go through the router in order for it to work properly ( for the TV ). If you run into issues, please open up a support ticket.

      Regards,
      Peter @ Oeck.
