I logged into my account, Billing, Subscriptions, Manage and was presented with this offer: Limited offer NordVPN 1-year plan + 18 months free Offer automatically activated when your current plan ends Subscription will start on January 10, 2024 No payment taken today – you'll pay 14 days before your new subscription starts $3.29/mo$98.70 billed for 30 months Seems reasonable, I paid $89 for 28 months previously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have Nord for a while, but had problems with that because it would occasionally drop out for some reason and I couldn't get to the bottom of why so I changed, as mentioned above. The others I have tried include: – My Expat VPN, Express VPN, Cyber Ghost VPN, Total AV and Panda, although not sure if the last two were actually VPNs – – too long ago to remember now! Don't think I will change from Smart DNS Proxy, because it's been excellent for the past months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works out at just over one dollar per month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GypsyT Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Is Kaspersky safe even though its Russian? Is Kaspersky Antivirus safe to use? We don't recommend using Kaspersky Antivirus, because there might be security issues related to its user identification ties to the Russian secret services.15 Nov 2023 I would touch anything Russian for next 500 yrs.

With my security package I bought via google at a greatly discounted price compared with what they were offering me directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liddelljohn Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 OK maybe I have ben a bit unfair to Nord ,, My 5g AIS is very fast anyhing from 39mbps to 118mbps with low ping and latency and always giving good 4k and 1440 Kbits for video so I invesigated further , You tube and Netflix are faultless never buffer so its some channels on My X96max that are the problem its not the box itself its all up to date runs cool and has plenty of memory its just certain servers i like the shows from that seem to have issues and there is not much I can do about that , so may try Wizz IPTV for a while and see how that works out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancel, or try to, and see if they cough up an offer? Brave browser has a VPN add-on, I believe, buy they do try it on at renewal with a higher subscription (more than current new sub offers). If you try it on back at them they can give a better renewal offer than new subscribers are being offered. My renewal, due this month, was $99.00 (new subs $52), eventually I was offered $49.50 after a few emails. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you share your thoughts on VPN's you have used? Just need the basic as have paid security programme, am Looking at Surfshark, any comments about them? Realize that a VPN provider is actually able to track everything you do. Use one that has no logging. Keeps no memory. Cannot comply with a law enforcement request due to the fact they have no log. I use Nord. There are others just as good. Nothing these days for free is really free. You're always paying something, one way or another. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
