    Wondering when they will have the promotion for ExpresVpn

      I’d be avoiding Express VPN as they have been acquired by Kape Technologies. These are much better options IMO. Have a read of this: https://www.makeuseof.com/expressvpn-kape-technologies-affec…

      • cheesecactus on 27/11/2021 - 21:28

        People say similar stuff about Nord, PIA and cyberghost. At the end of the day it's really going to be up to each individual users case.

        I want to watch Netflix and torrent stuff. For my use Nord and PIA have been great. If I wanted to attempt to hack the Kremlin, then maybe find something else.

        • Doowyah on 27/11/2021 - 21:52

          Kape Technologies own PIA and Cyberghost too, hence why people say similar stuff about them.

        • soob on 28/11/2021 - 07:20

          Nord has been very frustrating for Netflix because Netflix are very proactive in detecting VPNs, same for Prime.

        Kape is a reason to avoid ExpressVpn, it's not the reason. https://gizmodo.com/you-should-probably-stop-using-expressvp… This part is purely anecdotal but after a removed it from my mac, a process remained active (I initially noticed it through constant DNS lookups to ExpressVpn API, then Activity Monitor). In then end I was able to manually find and remove the process. If you want something trustworthy, use Mullvad.

      Express (in my research) has always been regarded very highly as one of the fastest and most stable VPNs. Additionally it's always been one of the most expensive.

      While they do participate in cashback deals (and other misc promotions) I've never seen anything particularly competitive from them.

      Don't hold your breath.

      • Doowyah on 27/11/2021 - 22:12

        Not sure how current your research is but prior to September ExpressVPN was highly regarded. It’s only since they were acquired by Kape Technologies that there is concern over the service.

  • ets27 on 27/11/2021 - 10:17

    Is this good for Netflix even when used from overseas?

      I use Nord on my Android phone and computer. Honestly it's not the best experience but it let's me watch shows available in other countries. The main issue I have is actually connecting to netflix when the VPN is on, I have to reconnect to different servers in the country and get lucky, as some are blocked and just plain won't work. Although the few that do work work well. It's not an elegant solution but the next best thing (maybe even better) is pirating.

    • dust on 27/11/2021 - 12:13

      Netflix have been blocking VPNs lately so it's a bit hit and miss.

    • botchie on 27/11/2021 - 12:54

      Nord works great for me , no issues hd stream

      • dust on 28/11/2021 - 01:33

        Which regions? I've been having issues with Nord lately.

        • Opal21212121 on 28/11/2021 - 22:50

          I only use Japan. Have to do the whole reconnect thing everytime, sometimes the 3rd server is good, sometimes it takes 10 minutes (not exaggerating).

          • dust on 28/11/2021 - 23:00

            @Opal21212121: Yeah makes sense. Is it the same server #s that seem to work every time?

          Settings —> Advanced —> Override GPS Location

          It might prompt you to enable developer mode and other insturctions would follow that… Then you are good to go ….

          Your GPS location would move according to the server you choose. …

      • profaner on 27/11/2021 - 16:31

        Been using that, still does not work. Tried the default Surfshark mock location and other mock location apps no luck. It used to work about 4months back. Not anymore

        • Freezies on 27/11/2021 - 17:05

          Then contact them.

          It works fine for me and even on their site they say it works for Netflix on Android so something might be wrong on your end not theirs.

    Morning, complete novice here and I wonder if you can help. Would this enable me to buy my son one of those Ultimate Games Pass on his Xbox for a cheaper price? He had it for 2 years with a Bargain I found on here but now the Bargains seem to say VPN required and I'm completely in the dark about it…..

    • Diji1 on 27/11/2021 - 10:49

      Yes. If you do it on Xbox you may need to set up VPN on your router though. If it's on PC it's easy.

              @musicinbed69: So that will be the thing from "years ago" that I mentioned. Also, from the page you linked …

              "did not contain activity logs, usernames, or passwords. But the attacker would have been able to see what websites users were visiting during that time, a company advisor said, although the content of the websites likely would have been hidden due to encryption."

              … and …

              "Potential attackers could have gotten only into that server and only intercept the traffic and seen what websites people are browsing — not the content, only the website — for a limited period of time, only in that isolated region"

              So my comment is accurate.

              • savingmoney1 on 27/11/2021 - 20:43

                @TheSnyper: NordVPN is NOT one of the most secure VPN.

                They are the most promoted VPN because they pay out 100% commissions

                If you want secure, compare Nord to iVPN, Mullvad, oVPN

                As stated above they were hacked and tried to cover it up.

                If a VPN is secure then getting hacked should be very hard.

                I know which one I would choose.

  • EBC on 27/11/2021 - 10:52

    Just wondering what the definition of new customer is? If I bought someone else a subscription to Nord VPN with the same Cashrewards account that I used for my own a couple years ago, would that be flagged as a repeat customer (the Nord account would be with a different email address).

        I'm here :)

        A new customer is as defined by NordVPN, Surfshark, and any other VPN provider. Nothing to do with Cashrewards at all. Simply use a new email address at their end, the same Cashrewards account as always, and you're good to go. Please remember to click 'Shop Now' or 'Shop Offer' and buy. Don't go clicking to other sites and certainly don't use any 3rd party plugins etc. Best bet is to use the Cashrewards mobile app on 4G/5G as this also eliminates any potential issues with WiFi/router firewalls and the like. Tracking for both NordVPN & Surfshark typically takes 1-4 hours. And remember you have the safety of their money back guarantee. All the best, and have a great weekend!

          I placed the order at 12.05pm and cashback tracked at 12.55pm .. Checked my credit card app and I was charged $108 - the tracked cashback indicated $103 so about $5 net. When setting up an account I used USA California (sorry taxman) as a location to bring the GST to zero. Used my phone (iOS) CashRewards app to ensure CB tracks. Easy peasy.

        • MoleManMike on 29/11/2021 - 19:48

    • huggsymersh on 27/11/2021 - 12:08

      The formatting of this site looks generic and a bit suss, and they get referral commissions when you buy through them, and I'm not expert on VPNs, but the info looks reasonably sound.

      https://thebestvpn.com/

      Generally tho, been reading articles about how although VPNs help you spoof geolocation, they aren't that much help for security/privacy. It's just replacing who gets to sniff all your traffic from the ISP to the VPN operator, and if that VPN is dodgy….

      • sween64 on 27/11/2021 - 12:11

        That’s what I want to know. Who is dodgy and who is not. Who doesn’t keep logs. Who won’t hand information over to the FBI.

          +1

          If you want to avoid the FBI you want to avoid a VPN that's based in the US. And you'd probably want one based in a jurisdiction that isn't involved in any of the 'eyes' arrangements. https://www.vpnmentor.com/blog/understanding-five-eyes-conce…

          And you'd probably want a VPN based in switzerland or similar country. And they are unlikely to pay rebates to any rewards sites.

            @huggsymersh: That's the beauty of a VPN though, it shouldn't matter if they are based in the US or not as long as they are complying with a no logging policy. They'll simply have nothing to hand over to the FBI that would be of any use.

            The only possible case would be if they let the FBI take over their operations to start tracking someone in particular, however you'd be doing some serious shit for that to be the case.

      • huggsymersh on 27/11/2021 - 12:14

        Actually, i honestly don't know if the link I suggested above is a referral link farm. Here's another myth busting perspective, and cos he's not directly trying to sell you something (aside from ads on the page) slightly more trustworthy.
