I am a newbie to all this stuff so excuse my lack of knowledge. If I want to stream US content with Netflix should I use PureVPN or IronSocket? Is it better to make the DNS changes from the router or device?

Thanks!

My personal experience says Purevpn is good to go with, but you should do your search on Google as well to find more about Ironsocket and Purevpn. Either way you can do it using router or install apps on any of your devices to stream US Netflix.

2 year contract might not be a good idea, if that's your intended use.
I don’t think it is being implemented any soon as it has been quite a long time since people started using VPNs to access Netflix from different regions of the world.

The Netflix announcement made it sound imminent. I wouldn't be signing up for any VPN or DNS subscriptions longer than a month right now if your purpose is to access Netflix international content. Give it 30 days to see what happens.

I have been a PureVPN subscriber for two years and I can recommend it as a solid provider with excellent speed and reliability. They are based in Hong Kong so there are no issues with logging. I gave been very happy with the service at $50USD a year and consider it well worth it.

There would be some work around even if they implement it. Otherwise they will lose their subscriptions. But I see enough content in Canada nowdays so I don't have to switch to US often.

Why not add some bucks and get the so-called life-time subscription. Actually you need to renew it every five years without any charge. Just contact them.

This looks like what I'm looking for. Could you please elaborate on how this can be accomplished?

This thread OP:
sarenalin wrote: I experienced DNS leaks with PIA, so did a little research and found PureVPN via some good reviews. They currently have a special promo running of $2.08 USD with an annual subscription. I am using apple device to stream BBC iPlayer from Canada and it works very well. No leaks and the connection to servers are also stable and speedy.

Choice of Australia rated them number 1 VPN provider https://www.choice.com.au/products/elec ... pn-purevpn

Their features include Wifi security, 5 multi logins, 500+ servers in 100+ countries, free apps for all devices and more.

Cheers

I'm using android devices, streaming from uk and us seem to work very well. No DNS leaks and servers seem to work
well also. They also have a 3 day free trial if you request by emailing support[at]nordvpn.com

Pc mag rate them well, I think the offering is better since the article was published, such as more simultaneous devices

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2403388,00.asp

Will post again if I run into any issues,so far so good.

I also see posted on rfd that they had a better deal this time last year, so maybe it is possible to get cheaper

Nordvpn.com
It's entirely possible that the numerous similarities between the two posts are a pure concidence (pun intended), but nonetheless this stood out to me when doing VPN research.

Why? I'm not running torrents through it or anything like that.

If I'm just using it to circumvent geo blocking of otherwise legitimate material, why should I care if logs are kept?

Because MOST users that use VPN are for the purpose of TORRENTING. Good for you! You're a minority.

I'd like to see your stats to back that up. If you're serious about torrenting, you'll use a seedbox. In the grand scheme of things, they're cheap.

You should know better that any respectable VPN company would not keep statistics, and even if they did, they wouldn't release it to the public. So why bother asking?

Any intelligent being would know that paid-VPN service is primarily used for torrenting. Most people wouldn't even know what a seedbox is, aside from nerds and techs. Last that I checked, they don't make up for the bulk of the population.

So basically, you're just making an assumption that most people use VPNs for torrenting without any shred of evidence.

Ok. Whatever.

More like through observation. Most people that ask about paid-VPN services on RFD and other forums are for torrenting.

If you're using it strictly for geo-blocking, there are plenty of free (but slower) services out there.

Yeah that’s really a good one, if you want it for a longer period of time. For those who want to get it for lesser time would definitely check this offer out.
