    In brief - it helps you cheat about your real geolocation - better prices for some services, access to some country restricted things, etc...

    Nope.

    You need nothing for Irish Prime vid, any other Prime would require Smart DNS.

    Just to mention that the current 6 month free VPN offer (see first post) ends in 11 hours from now

    And don't forget to sign in if you plan to use other devices or might delete the app.

    Ok I know what a VPN and used and old one years ago.

    However, havent used on in years. Considering one for HBO Max, Peacock etc... whats the best one to use? The one in the OP. I dont mind paying if one.

    Then how do I use it with my devices these days. Previously I had to giggle my settings myself and was a pain in the backside, is that still the case?

    Thanks in advance

    Depends on your device. I find this VPN very good for general TV viewing and it's cheap.

    I only ever used it on my laptop around 6 years ago to watch Netflix Us and BBCiplayer. I feel that it may be more complicated to use a smart tv or tablet.... that said Ive no clue

    They've an app. Get the 6 months free and try it, it's very intuitive.

    As regards VPN and security:

    Could I use it on my Laptop only ( an 10 year old laptop) I use internet banking on my phone only not on my laptop so does this eliminate any risk as regards that?

    (I use Revenue ROS online system in my laptop also)
    Only problem is my phone worked as a hotspot/tethering for my laptop, but it recently wouldnt failed to tether / connect to phone hotspot.

    I would only use VPN for media streaming. I wouldn't have it switched on for banking or anything like that.

    The VPN mentioned in the OP also has extensions for Chrome/Firefox/Opera etc so you can always just use them individually rather than turning on the VPN for your computer as a whole. :D

    I'd imagine most would be interested in knowing this, including myself, so nothing simple about it, thanks for asking

    Nord VPN is €68 euro for two years. €2.97 a month.

    Says you get a "Gift" as well but no idea what that means

    I got the free trial and am using it on 1 device but read today they offer up to 5 devices.

    Does this stand for the free trial does anyone know?

    Would be handy as have a second firestick.

    If you got the code in time the trial should be active for a few more months.

    Not seen any other trials.

    Seems stacksocial is the place to find deals on vpn

    Cheers for that, one question, is there a Turkish VPN for KeepSolid? Or is there a trial license to test it out? (I've been using a couple other VPNs that have a week's trial that worked fine but are more expensive.)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,527 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    There's a turkish and Cyprus which both work. I've used it fine for Ssport with only one time it wouldn't work, Ive a windscribe free 10Gb account for backup when that might occur.

    Cheers - KeepSolid it is!

    For the free Windsrcibe 10GB account, does the 10GB reset every few months or do you just create a new account each time?
