@jac sadly this one doesnāt support Linux, so a bit of a non starter for me personally, but certainly worth a look if youāre a Windoze user
Definitely! Itās good to sample different VPNs, of course some offer more than others but thatās a cracking deal nonetheless.
@phenomlab said in KeepSolid VPN Unlimited DEAL:
@jac I bought it! Based on the reviews, and even if it is c**p, itās a one-time payment which is very low. Canāt argue with that.
Well, I did finally install this application as my 3 year subscription for NordVPN runs out in September of this year, so Iām looking at potential replacements before I go ahead and renew.
My review of KeepSolid ? Absolute s**t. Iām sorry, but this product doesnāt work - fails to connect, then just hangs. Uninstalled.
No wonder they are offering lifetime deals for a product as poor quality as this.

Absolutely Mark, itās not surprising at all.
Iāve tried the current main three: Surfshark, Nord & Express VPN and I have to say Express VPN definitely comes out on top!

6 months Keep Solid VPNā¦
@JAC makes you seriously wonder if they really have any sales. This company is constantly offering discounts. Having reviewed the software myself, Iām not surprised frankly as itās not great.

@phenomlab Absolutely, it seems a bizarre situation, the deals keep cropping up and as you say youāve tested it and itās not good. Thereās probably a catch to it.
@phenomlab Iām actually looking for a new VPN I wonder if anyone on here has had any real success other than using Express VPN or Nord?
@phenomlab said in KeepSolid VPN Unlimited DEAL:
@JAC Worth asking @gotwf I think. I seem to recall heās tried a few of them. My experience only goes as far as either ExpressVPN, or Nord.
Some good recommendations here - including ProtonVPN
Thanks Mark.
Iāve got Express and Nord (which run out early next year) Iāve gone for Surfshark again.

So far so good, the speeds I get to the Nvidia Shield arenāt too far from Express VPN speeds.
Obviously sometimes the app doesnāt connect on start up although itās set to auto connect, so thatās something Iāve complained about, but it looks like its been an issue for some time.
Express VPN takes some beating really, it just simply works!

Yes, the same for Nord VPN - except for a quite annoying bug in Android where the VPN suddenly stops sending traffic and you have to stop and restart it.

For whatever reason it keeps disconnecting so thatās me Iāve requested a refund, the product isnāt fit for purpose, their speeds weāre great but that defeats the object. It had disconnected without notice leaving my connection exposed!! - Nord does this sometimes too!
I may try out CyberGhost. Iāve looked into pretty much all of them now 
still a big fan of Express VPN but will always look for the next best thing and unfortunately aside from Nord that does appear to be Surfshark which is a big of a let down too if it wonāt stay connected.
@JAC This doesnāt sound very encouraging. Have you tried this one ? You can trial it for 30 days without having to pay

I tried CyberGhost. Their speeds were bad, and I could get better elsewhere.
The top 3 Iāve found are:
Express VPN, Nord VPN & Surfshark which is pretty much how they rank across most VPN reviews.
@JAC said in KeepSolid VPN Unlimited DEAL:

Managed to fix this issue, the kill switch feature wasnāt working properly so Iāve simply turned it off so when I reconnect the internet it connects again as it should.
@phenomlab said in KeepSolid VPN Unlimited DEAL:
@JAC Yes, the killswitch is for those users who are āparanoidā - it works well, but not in all instances.
Absolutely, I doubt Iāll need it really, itās helpful but if it doesnāt work effectively itās pointless.
Itās easy to be reeled in by these cheap deals, but most of the time, they simply arenāt worth it.
