Cashback is calculated and paid on the advertised cost of the plan only. It will not include any GST, taxes, credit card or PayPal surcharges.

    I am using Surfshark VPN bought on the same deal a year back. Not happy with the windows app. Everyday some problem with either connectivity or with the different websites such as Amazon. (Personal recommendation, try some other VPN with better app)

    • yummycoot on 06/10/2020 - 15:57

      do you use killswitch and what browser?

      • Freeza on 06/10/2020 - 15:58
        +2

        Killswitch yes, Chrome. Amazon.com.au won't open without turning VPN off!

        • yummycoot on 06/10/2020 - 16:01

          it opens on mine, which location on VPN are you connecting to? Have you tried incognito/private or a different browser?

          • Freeza on 06/10/2020 - 16:02

            @yummycoot: Yes tried incognito. Fastest automatic location.
            Anyway I will try node vpn next time.

      Uninstalling the app was a PITA as well

    I have been using their Chrom goggle extensions and it is very good. I remembered it used to be 3 years when I joined earlier this year. Now all the plans are only 2 years. Not sure which ones is cheaper.

  • dojomojo on 06/10/2020 - 14:43

    Switched to them with the previous promo, no complaints except their PC client refuses to auto connect on one of my machines. Speeds are comparable to PIA for me.

  • humperdoo on 06/10/2020 - 15:16

    Any good in China?
    ExpressVPN/Nord was subpar earlier this year

  • Rojohe on 06/10/2020 - 15:17

    "From previous posts: Advice is to pay using a credit card (or debit card) and not PayPal"

    Why is this? I paid with PayPal last time this was posted and my cashback was approved but will take 3 months to get the money back.

      Paypal will not give you the best exchange rate compared to 28 deg master card or other bank cards.

        You can set PayPal to charge your card in the currency it’s charged in, they won’t do the conversion to AU$.

        Just use that instead, screw giving your CC to every site out there when PayPal exists.

  • k1ng on 06/10/2020 - 15:50

    Still on my trial period for nord, is it worth switching out for this one?

  • Ronke23 on 06/10/2020 - 15:51

    I would go with Nord VPN both have 90% cash back.

    • k1ng on 06/10/2020 - 16:02

      I paid $141.39 for Nord's 2 year plan, with 90% cashback. I would expect to be credited $127.251 back to my account. Checked my rewards balance, and only received $108.45. Not sure if this is a conversion rate issue, or something else.

      • masaladosa on 06/10/2020 - 16:34

        It is possible you've paid 10% gst by selecting Australia as your location. You could have selected USA for 0% tax. Since cashback is calculated by excluding GST you might have paid more. Just a theory, you should still check and see if it is another issue.

        • k1ng on 06/10/2020 - 16:38

          thats probably it, still new to this cash rewards thing. Gonna cancel, and hope for the best.

      It says 30% for me?

  • anhtram222 on 06/10/2020 - 15:54

    Doese it work with Netflix?

    • yummycoot on 06/10/2020 - 15:57
      +2

      yes, it does with SmartDNS and if you have Android TV, you can just use the app to turn it on.

      • AirJordan23 on 06/10/2020 - 16:00

        How to use the SmartDNS via SurfShark? I tried on LG Oled but it didn't worked.

      • serpserpserp on 06/10/2020 - 18:43

        Does it consistently work? Is it fast enough not to buffer like crazy on 1080p/4k content?

        • yummycoot on 06/10/2020 - 22:26

          it consistently works but it is not fast enough.

        • kendoggs on 07/10/2020 - 01:57

          I'm not sure if it works for 4k content, but have used it a lot for 1080p content. I was getting horrible netflix speeds until I connected to the Detroit server and everything has been amazing ever since. Also useful to ask customer service every now and then for the best server for streaming certain content, they have been really helpful

      • Turuv on 06/10/2020 - 21:47

        I have tried the SmartDNS for this on a Samsung Smart Tv and my Apple TV and it doesn’t show US Netflix. Only way to watch is via a tablet or phone with the Surfshark app. How did you make yours work?

        • yummycoot on 06/10/2020 - 22:26

          it let me browse US netflix on Samsung Smart TV (series 8 QLED) but it was really slow. To check if you are on US database, search for Supernatural.

          • Turuv on 08/10/2020 - 20:36
            +1

            @yummycoot: Yeah I can browse for sure but watching is a no unfortunately.

            Also have NordVPN and that too doesn’t work.

            Only one that works is ExpressVPN with the their smartDNS but price is no way near as cheap as Nord or Surfshark.

            If you can watch us Netflix, let me know how you did it

  • ubcool on 06/10/2020 - 15:55

    Can anyone get BBC on this?

    • Flyerone on 07/10/2020 - 08:27

      Yes.

      • BigSi on 10/10/2020 - 18:18

        iPlayer access is fine but I find the stream from any of their 3 UK servers often slow.

  • sofasty on 06/10/2020 - 16:12

    There's a killswitch but it's very blanket, no internet access if the vpn is not on. It can't for example, stop traffic from a torrent program if the vpn is not on.

    • serpserpserp on 06/10/2020 - 18:44

      Comment is confusing. Why would you have no internet if your vpn is off?

      • PAEz on 06/10/2020 - 22:07
        +1

        The purpose of the killswitch feature is to make it so that if your vpn disconnects then nothing should be able to connect to the internet. This makes sure you dont accidentally access the internet without going through the vpn.
        I guess from his cryptic wording is that even if the killswitch is active and the vpn disconnects he can still use his torrent app when he shouldnt be able to.
        Im on Windows 10 and it blocks Pico Torrent, so I dunno.

      • YoungFriendly on 07/10/2020 - 12:23

        Let's say you're downloading torrents safely through your vpn when the vpn app crashes or the service has an outage. You'd want your torrents to stop transferring until the service is up again

        This is where a killswitch comes in

        Ideally this killswitch can be programmed to (in this example) only kill torrent connections but allow the rest of your connections to continue when the vpn crashes. Apparently surfshark's killswitch indiscriminately will cut all connections when the vpn is down

  • Yarny-Goat on 06/10/2020 - 23:20

    I got it, I use it, no issues. Paid about $7 last year for 3 years.

    • he88388 on 07/10/2020 - 00:01

      What happens after 3 years. Can you join again using a new email address and a new cash rewards account????

  • ACA7 on 07/10/2020 - 00:56

    Just joined Cashrewards and used this deal to buy Surfshark. Installed the Windows and the Android apps, which all seemed to work fine both from an interface and functionality point of view. No worse than ExpressVPN (which is Rolls Royce expensive) so far in that regard. Although I have noticed Netflix is a bit slow but Youtube and other sites are fine. Only a few minutes in though, so take it as very early impressions.

    • kendoggs on 07/10/2020 - 02:00

      have you given the detroit server a go (for US content)? was told by customer service it was the one they recommended for streaming US content, I gotten a completely smooth experience since switching

  • Flyerone on 07/10/2020 - 08:30

    So 90% off $83.41?

    So cheap for 2 years.

  • Username Goes Here on 08/10/2020 - 16:38

    This is a good deal with cashback otherwise not so much. TorGuard is US$30 a year and good value, works well and no complaints while using it.

  • Marrk on 11/10/2020 - 17:05

    Thanks OP, happy with the Windows and iPhone apps so far.
