The last VPN deal I purchased from StackSocial turned out to be horrible. I believe the name of the service is FastestVPN. This company provided a horrible quality of service and their product kept on dropping the connection between me and their client all the time.
Now in days I just use a premium service, but I should really start looking for different options.
These deals are a hit or miss. You can find good options there as well as completely useless products. I have had the same experience as you with FastestVPN. Only paid around $5 for it, though, not a huge loss.
On the other hand, through StackSocial I got lifetimes for KeepSolid VPN, KeepSolid Smart DNS, Getflix, and HOLA VPN Plus (don't judge), 2 years of ProtonVPN, and 6 years of Windscribe. Zero regrets on all these so far.
VPNUnlimited is premium for the price. Speeds are up to 400 Mbit/s, too according to @debaser speedtest. Flix unblocking works. Wireguard is supported
Next time you are looking for a deal on Stacksocial, or a VPN Deal, check my signature.
I also have FastestVPN, it is definitely worse than Ivacy/VPNUnlimited though.
yeah not all in stacksocial is good tho..
the one i really regret is i miss the windscribe lifetime deals on stacksocial.
i got the email but in my mind what the fuck is this new VPN provider. Turn out 2 years later they are good.
Didn't they end Lifetime about 1 year ago? By then they had already been around for a while (a couple of years iirc) and weren't that new. Anyway, I pulled the trigger since I followed their Discord and thought Yegor was running a tight ship, so I believe it'd sail far
Is manual configuration for Wireguard windows and android client available?
In the user office I can create manual config files for both, my phone and my computer
Regarding the 900GB/month Fair Use Policy:
I contacted VPNUnlimited support regarding the 900GB/month FUP and they said the following:
Your connection speed may drop to 5 Mbit/s, or it may not drop at all.
Throttling only lasts until the end of month though. Sounds fair enough to me. If they want LTD users pushing more than 900GB/month I think that is still a reasonable limit. I also see no problem when they don't limit regular monthly/yearly paying customers since they pay much more than us LTD ppl who purchased for 15-40$ lifetime. With 5 Mbit/s you can still watch YouTube in HD and browse normally On my 1 Mbit/s O2 Telefonica (mobile phone isp) throttle I can even watch YouTube, Netflix and Twitch.
Could you confirm as its per device? Or per account ?
They are giving 5 devices in this offer
If you divide 900/5 then bandwidth is really low
Like I said earlier the usage may very with each user, but our whole family uses 400GB at home on all (2x PC, 2x Laptop, 2x Tablet, 3x Phone, 2x SmartTV) devices per month. Going with that I believe 900GB is a more than reasonable amount for a consumer faced VPN Service (that is 900GB for one "average" person). You always have the option of paying yearly/monthly and forget about the 900GB limit altogether. The limit applies account-wide I'd guess. I wouldn't worry too much about it though, because in the worst case you wasted 15$, or could just use another VPN after the 900GB have been used. Furthermore, they also mentioned that it could very well be you won't be throttled at all (see quote above).
Okay thanks
Actually I just purchased for 24/7 football streaming obviously when it resumes due to the COVID 19 situation
When I made the purchase i didn't know they had wireguard supposed which is amazing
So overall its great for now
Also I think your love or addiction of collecting VPNs account had really helped low end community in making correct purchases over time
Thanks! Had Redditbay/cracked nord that used occasionally, but couldn’t pass on this. Pulling 100mb+ on phone WiFi, so 30mb is just marketing low expectations.
Thanks mate! So, there is at least one good thing to it haha
Glad I could be of help. It's actually the first of my Lifetime VPNs to support Wireguard, so I am very happy. I actually expected Windscribe to be first.
Snagged this deal , seems ok so far, cant max out my fiber connection but hey $15 bucks is $15 bucks man
Oh yes I totally forget that ... I still have 30 GB per month there free of cost
I rarely use it though because of not all locations enabled in that they tier
Well, fuck this thread always haunting me... I think I cant resist, lifetime plan for $15 is a steal deal. let see how long this will survive
I'm in since 2016, so 4 years already. It has been around before that though.
Thought I'd post my test:
Without VPN: 274/25
I actually used KeepSolid for some time now, and indeed I can agree it's awesome. My only complaint is not having enough server choices for each location (diverse ISPs on each countries) and their South Korean server sucks
one thing that I'm confuse.
Their VPN using digital ocean, but how they can be used to watch Netflix without detected proxy
How far are you from the server?
Using same country server I got full speed.
Same country.
It's most likely that they route netflix domains to another endpoint before hitting the actual server. So something like
You -> DO (KeepSolid) -> Google but
You -> DO (KeepSolid) -> SuperSecretNetflixBypassServer -> Netflix
When you attempt to connect to a streaming service, their DNS will "poison" the request and make them use another proxy of their own to handle your request. This is transparent to you most of the time.
ahh that's why,
I've been trying myself to create my own VPN for Netflix using DO but still no luck
I see. I was able to max out using same country. But I'm pretty sure the same could be said for Windscribe and Ivacy.
Wireguard support from this VPN is a huge thing, specially when using it on the mobile as Wireguard is battery-friendly.
I'm pretty sure all DO (or any other VPS provider) IPs are blocked by now. Just use a commercial VPN.
yep. I've tried my self
but still, I'm curious how commercial VPN ( Especially KeepSolid ) do it
Well, Windscribe uses (or used to use) ResCloud, which was actually banned here on LET they set up their proxies with them.
I've heard there are multiple ways VPN companies bypass streaming sites. Some including using real residential computers with special softwares installed (some unconsented), getting fresh IPv4/6 blocks, etc.
That's why I discarded my 15$/year VPS I used to unblock. IP got blacklisted too often and VPN providers just do their magic (= ensure it works and KEEPS WORKING). Way more convenient
