Greetings everyone, I just noticed that CR have increased the rate on this VPN to 90%!

Stack with their current 83% off deal to retrieve a total of $9.99 (or different depending on exchange rate circumstances) AUD After Cashback for a 3-Year Plan.

Please see TA's Comment regarding the tracking of the final amount which may differ depending on the exchange rate.

Thanks to rookie317, this VPN is the second best rated VPN on both thebestvpn and vpnranks

I believe you have to make sure to click through CR to see the 83% off offer in order to get it for the price above.

  1. When clicked through to the Surfshark website, press the "83% Off" red button on the page to go through to the offer.
  2. Make sure to select a country in the checkout with 0% VAT (such as United States). No need to change it to AU as you will be charged extra unnecessarily.
  3. Check out and ensure that the total is $99.99 AUD.

However VAT seems to be charged for all Paypal purchases, thanks to outlander.

    How do other VPNs compete when these cashback offers make Nord and Surfshark so much cheaper?

    • bio on 30/09/2019 - 07:57

      It's a dead (or niche) business model now that CloudFlare Warp is free.

      • alidli on 30/09/2019 - 12:38

        Know JS about WARP but think the traditional VPN's still have the edge for a while longer- from TechRadar

        "While WARP is a VPN, the service is not designed to bypass region blocks or hide your IP address. Instead, the service is built for the average consumer to ensure their data is secured while it's in transit."

        And it's not all free, WARP+ will be US$4.99/month I believe.

        • bio on 30/09/2019 - 13:40

          Agreed. That's why I called it a "niche", still useful for legally questionable stuff. The privacy aspect is covered by Warp (which is free unlike Warp Plus).

          • alidli on 30/09/2019 - 14:32

            @bio: Anonymous web browsing/ online shopping using your phone: use WARP (mobile only at present it seems).
            Geo-blocking work around for Netflix, China etc and to stop snooping by your ISP for all devices: use dedicated VPN

        • snep on 30/09/2019 - 18:01

          I've read through CloudFlare's quite detailed explanation of WARP and I can't really see how it would be any less secure than a normal VPN.

          The protocol they are using (wireguard) is relatively new, but is open-source, promises better performance and is only ~1% the size of older protocols like OpenVPN, which as they have pointed out should make security audits much easier. Apart from that there are differences in how WARP routes packages in comparison to traditional VPNs (supposedly to achieve better speeds), but since the packets are encrypted this shouldn't matter from a security perspective I don't think. They have a lot of experience in optimising connection speeds so I'd be inclined to trust their approaches.

          When I tried it out I got great speeds (~140 Mbps up and down) even on the supposedly slower free version, and it seemed to hide potentially identifying information such as IP and DNS as well as my actual VPN does.

          You can't select individual countries to route through like you can with normal VPNs, and I doubt P2P support would be possible, but those are small sacrifices if it is what it seems to be.

          Overall I'm impressed, but I'll be keeping an eye out for independent tests and verification of its claims.

  • Ge3ks on 29/09/2019 - 11:24

    I was curious at 80%, and then tempted at 85%. It almost seems wrong not to take up the offer now.

      Not the best. They dont support P2P on Aussie servers (unlike nordvpn).

      Surfshark only supports p2p on the following servers: https://support.surfshark.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003088733…

      • FuzzyWolf on 29/09/2019 - 13:56

        Wow that’s a bit misleading when they tick P2P on all their servers on their list but what they actually meant is if you try P2P they would be rerouting them to other servers https://surfshark.com/servers

        • cheesecactus on 29/09/2019 - 15:37
          +1

          Oh wow. Had no idea they did that. That's misleading indeed.
          I know I've used purevpn in the past which was fine in Australia, and even as a general un-geoblocking VPN, but for torrenting I had to use Brunei servers which dropped my speed to about 25%.

          No idea how surfshark does it as I haven't used it personally. But the wording isn't promising

          • Robc on 29/09/2019 - 15:50

            @cheesecactus: I currently use vpn unlimited. They have got servers all over, but only three support p2p. So generally I connect to Paris, which seems to have the best speed/node ratios.

            It seems to me my vpn takes about a 20% hit to speed, versus no vpn. I'm happy enough with that, but at the current prices, it might be worth trying a few other providers.

    • Thaal Sinestro on 29/09/2019 - 23:23

      One alternative to use a VPN for torrenting "hot" content like films/TV, is to use a Debrid service. They support some of the filelocker services but most also will fetch torrents for you. You can then download the torrent content through a browser, downloading application or JDownloader 2. All Debrid and Real Debrid cost 4 Euros a month (cheaper if you purchase larger multiple month). You can multithread the downlaods to get decent speeds.

      i did for 80% to 85% out of principle but CBB again. pretty happy for just Netflix. I guess it's $5 over 3 years (savings) so ~$1.67/yr. They were pretty good with the refund in about 5 working days.

      • adurian on 29/09/2019 - 18:15

      • P3aker on 29/09/2019 - 12:24
        +4

        Sure thing, I bought into Nord being the best. Bought a three year plan and was shocked that I couldn't get speeds faster than 3MBs most of the time. (It sometimes went to 5MBs if the wind was helping it along)

        Spoke with the tech support and all they could tell me was "that's wrong but we can't see anything wrong on our side. Sorry."

        Off the VPN I would hit 11MBs easy.
        I had a very simple network setup at the time also, so it wasn't anything local causing the bottleneck.

        Got a refund and went with expressVPN and 11MBs each and every time easy.

        • P3aker on 29/09/2019 - 12:31

          I assumed it was just congestion on the serves I used but each and every server in my region had the same issue.

          I assumed that because they provided the VPN service as cheap as chips and everyone starts using it I got hit with huge congestion.

          And I'm assuming that's what will eventually happen with surfshark.

          Good luck guys !

          • Tehcookiemonsta on 29/09/2019 - 12:33

            @P3aker: Have no idea whats happening to ppl using nord vpn and having very slow speeds im on 100/40 and i might go from 90 to 87 ish on an Aus server, Weird.

            • P3aker on 29/09/2019 - 12:57

              @Tehcookiemonsta: Nord does a lot of funny routings and I'm guessing that was part of the issue.

              They had a routing rule that would redirect you to US Netflix even if you were connected to an Australian server.

              Depending on how the routing was done..
              Perhaps this was just a case of Nord interpreting my traffic as something else and routing it accordingly.

              • cheesecactus on 29/09/2019 - 13:09

                @P3aker: Yeah i have nord too. My 110/5 connection is identical with or without vpn.

                But, i cant access aussie catchup tv as everything is routed through the US for those sorts of sites (netflix included). Speeds are great, but a bit weird for that.

                • Tehcookiemonsta on 29/09/2019 - 13:20

                  @cheesecactus: 110/5 is that Cable?

                    I use NZ catchup tv sometimes and it doesn't work with Nord, even through their NZ servers.

                    So I still keep a purevpn subscription for accessing countries that aren't the us/UK/Canada or the other few countries Nord supports for tv streaming

            They already have your physical day to day activity via telcos with your mobile pinging off their towers.

            I'd honestly be more worried about how a VPN provider stays in business charging $10 for 3 years. They're almost certainly profiting ( legally or illegally who knows ) from your traffic.

          Turn off VPN, start Amazon Prime stream and wait for main feature to commence, reactivate VPN.

      come back to CR, go to Click History and submit a support if you won't see pending cash back after 7 days of purchase. CR normally addresses your issue within 2 business days

    Just signed up. So far, so good. Speeds are pretty good. Will report back with some results later.

    I think I’m missing something. I only see 24 months not 3 years?

      Make sure to press the "Get 83% Off" In the click through link from CR and it should direct you straight to the 3 year offer.

        Nah it’s now revised down to 2 years
