@jac yep, I can see the change of IP address. Did you pay upfront ?
@phenomlab Sorry for the delay.
I did yes mate, it definetly seems that little more stable for streaming than Nord, quicker and faster connections etc.
How is KeepSolid VPN have you tried it yet mate?
@jac Not tried it yet - will be doing so soon…

@jac sadly this one doesn’t support Linux, so a bit of a non starter for me personally, but certainly worth a look if you’re a Windoze user

Definitely! It’s good to sample different VPNs, of course some offer more than others but that’s 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, it’s a one-time payment which is very low. Can’t 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 I’m looking at potential replacements before I go ahead and renew.
My review of KeepSolid ? Absolute s**t. I’m sorry, but this product doesn’t 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, it’s not surprising at all.
I’ve 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 VPN…
@JAC makes you seriously wonder if they really have any sales. This company is constantly offering discounts. Having reviewed the software myself, I’m not surprised frankly as it’s not great.
@phenomlab Absolutely, it seems a bizarre situation, the deals keep cropping up and as you say you’ve tested it and it’s not good. There’s probably a catch to it.
@JAC The catch is the poor quality of the software 
It’s easy to be reeled in by these cheap deals, but most of the time, they simply aren’t worth it.
@phenomlab I’m 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 he’s tried a few of them. My experience only goes as far as either ExpressVPN, or Nord.
Some good recommendations here - including ProtonVPN
Thanks Mark.
I’ve got Express and Nord (which run out early next year) I’ve gone for Surfshark again.

So far so good, the speeds I get to the Nvidia Shield aren’t too far from Express VPN speeds.
Obviously sometimes the app doesn’t connect on start up although it’s set to auto connect, so that’s something I’ve 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 that’s me I’ve requested a refund, the product isn’t fit for purpose, their speeds we’re 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. I’ve 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 won’t stay connected.
