davidst01 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Im thinking of switching to nord vpn. Any use them before? Can you recommend a cheap but good vpn? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBKK Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 ExpressVPN are outstanding. You won't think them 'expensive' if you get hacked etc. I'd advise 'think again'. ExpressVPN uses a strong 256-bit AES encryption and has a super strict 'no logging' policy with 3000 servers. Good luck anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruit Trader Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 We use NordVPN at the office router and its been very reliable for a few years now. All the usual bells AES 256 encryption 5000+ servers no logging bla bla bla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can say is that it is faster and offers what I need. I am far from having tried all the features they offer (like "onion"). And as already written: all bells and whistles (no log, AES 256 xxxx servers ...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasionally it doesn't and you maybe have to wait an hour before it does. Seems to work 100% streaming Pandora from the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanratch Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 My Cyber Ghost VPN subscription is up for renewal next month so I have been trying out the Opera browser that as a free VPN and up to now I am quite impressed, I may stick to Opera and save some money.

I selected "Dedicated IP" from "United Kingdom" and currently it works for BBC iPlayer. Can't tell for ITV, too much effort to fake register another service just for test EDIT: short lived. Gone. ... got me another dedicated IP and it works again. Seems like you have to play the cat and mouse game yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No VPN service can avoid geo restriction completely but some update with fresh IP addresses more quickly than others. There is only a limited number of IP's available and sites like the BBC are already using a fair use policy on individual IP's and also looking at only accepting blocks of IP's used by UK ISP's.

balo Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I have been using NordVPN for 4 years now, very reliable. Sometimes BBC iPlayer wont work, then you just need to select another UK server. There's hundreds of them so you will always find one that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chou Anou Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I just switched from Nord VPN to Express VPN precisely because Nord was useless on my most recent trip to Thailand. I don't think the difference in price is that much, especially if you pay for 2-3 years at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocky Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I'm happy with NordVPN, though for BBC, ITV, Channel 4 & 5 I have a UK VPS set-up - I got tired of playing cat & mouse with Aunty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nord works on all the android aswell but android app on TV not good much more limitations. Express works better for Netflix on android TV and android box. Nord offer a cheap 3 year deal.

Isaanbiker Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I'm using Nord VPN a very good and reliable program. I've bought it via e-bay for a few baht and it should work for at least a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzi850m2 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I switched from Express to NordVPN and I am happy with it. I bought a subscription for 3 years for less than 100$ and you can use it on 6 devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matzzon Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Express VPN is not more expensive. Maybe just don´t have the offers at the same times like Nord VPN. I have used Express VPN for 4 years and bought my last 3 year contract for measly 2,99 USD per month. Then you always have to consider that Express VPN stands two step higher on the ladder of function and quality. Only that is a reason to pay that small extra buck.

When you're doing that,you'll receive a password and username of another account. If you never change it, you can have a superb VPN for almost nothing. Please check ebay. The deal was two years for three devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really want to have something that works well, go for Kasperksy Internet security, buy a key, or three online from ebay and then add Nord VPN and it's still much cheaper than buying it from the company.
