    in ozb we only use VPNs that pay us 110% cashback

    • Any deals currently?

    • +27

      In which case, think about it , who is the product?

      • +4

        do you think by paying for it you are not the product?

        • +8

          That's not how it works, the general public after two years they subscribe again at full cost.
          OZB just recycles emails.

          • @Jessie Ryder: Yall are waiting 2 years to churn? It’s a profit!

            • @Dyl: Hmmm, this one is 70%, Nord seems to be 100%

    • +37

      you mean like ExpressVPN which is owned by Kape Technologies ?
      They also own Cyberghost, PIA, Zenmate and Intego.

      As well as owning some review sites which point towards the above.

      Kape seems to be owned by an israeli billionaire. I would expect Israeli intelligence to be involved as well ;)

          tbh i shouldve said, ive never used a vpn, i dont see the point of why everyone is so addicted to them

            @Far Cough: Wait till age verification comes in Dec

            • @mr_asstight: And it will only be a short time before EU, US, CA, NZ and JP also get age verification laws.

      • Oh you have, you just haven't realised it yet.

      they are paying you because they want your data

      I use the profit from the 130% cashback deals to pay for mullvad

      • +3

        That's a good idea. Although I prefer proton now that mullvad ditched port forwarding. Both get similar speeds for me.

        • Which is better, Proton or Mullvad from keeping govt prying eyes away?

    • +1

      Always wondered who takes the hit in those 110-130% cashbacks deals??

  • Was actually eyeballing Proton Unlimited (VPN with port forwarding + password manager)… ah well

    • +4

      proton is great with port forwarding. I use Bitwarden for the password manager.

      Proton you may be able to get 2 years for 60 USD at Black Friday.

      • Is self hosting password manager viable / worth it…
        Maybe.

        Don’t overly need a port forwarding, just would be nice to
        help torrenting… Just need VPN to stop ISP….

        • well, you don't have to selfhost bitwarden you can access it via bitwarden.com or selfhost vaultwarden.

          I selfhost vaultwarden along with many other services. To add to the vault when not at home I open up a wireguard connection.

      • Proton you may be able to get 2 years for 60 USD at Black Friday.

        How did I miss it. Was it posted as a deal here?

  • +1

    Is $108.27 a $US or $A price?

    • at checkout au price for me is Total for 24 monthsAU$117.36*
      Including 10% Goods and Services Tax (GST): AU$10.67
      Sorted $108.27 selecting to pay in US dollars

    • +6

      Select USD before you add to cart. Then pay using a card with no international transaction fees and it comes to $108.27 AUD. There shouldn't be any GST or extra tax on top.

  • Does anyone know how to get this to work if you already have a mail plus subscription?

    • That is what I dislike about Proton. They won't let you have separate packages like mail plus and vpn plus but push you towards Unlimited.

  • +1

    Curious how everyone pays for VPN
    If you get cashback it's not an anonymous transaction right
    I'm seriously considering ditching PIA because of the big picture.
    Wasn't considering proton but this is pretty attractive. Have been looking at Nord

    • Proton offers Bitcoin as a method of payment: https://proton.me/support/pay-with-bitcoin

      VPNs are not guaranteed to keep users completely anonymous anyway, especially from law enforcement and other government agencies: https://ssd.eff.org/module/choosing-vpn-thats-right-you

      You can buy Mullvad gift cards from Amazon. If you shred the gift card after you apply it to your account then noone has any way to link it back to you. You do lose any form of receipt/record of you paying but it shouldn't be a problem.

      • Or just mail cash to the providers that accept it like Mullvad or IVPN. Even more anonymous than having the purchase history be linked to your amazon account.

        • It's probably not perfect but it's easier than sending cash. I think if they really wanted to track you down they could get you via your IP or something. The gift card adds another layer of anonymity. I don't know how easy it is to track down the gift card that you use. I don't think the majority of users need to worry about it too much. Unless you're doing something seriously shady they probably don't have the time or processing/man power to look into what you are doing.

          FWIW Regarding their scratch cards, Mullvad state

          The design of the activation code removes the possibility for third parties to link a payment to a Mullvad account, for privacy.

    Good on these folks for diversifying their infrastructure in case the Swiss pass their data vacuum surveillance laws.

  • Why’s is so hard to roll Poland in the free version

      I have no idea…

      But the US influence over there and the political bullsh#$ might have something to do with it - relayed from family living in the East.

      @capslock janitor

      Isn't Poland sorta, kinda the US?

      I mean no offense by this btw.

    • +3

      Not sure if that's a spelling error but Proton DOES NOT fall under 5 eyes surveillance. In fact Switzerland has some of the best privacy laws in the world. Unfortunately there has been news coming out of late that some dickhe#$ wants to introduce mass surveillance laws worse than North America.

      Luckily Proton is committed to relocating infrastructure to a location where privacy remains a key virtue. If they can not maintain this level or commitment to privacy the Swiss government will literally have signed their death warrant and Proton will be no more. - in saying all this we are approaching an epoch where new encryption software and hardware will be available and the governments will not be able to do a thing about it.

        Removed my comment because you’re correct. I think the CEO was under fire for some political views or something but the actual VPN is sound.

        • The CEO of Proton?

          Unfortunately, transitions in businesses of privacy of great affect to customers. Hopefully they maintain their commitments.

          • @cobknob: Yeah he historically was anti maga, then retweeted something maga, iirc.
            It wasn't a business propsition, so its just people upset about someones personal opinion - which admittedly, he should have the common sense not to mix his business account with pleasure, but what'cha gonna do? Can't cure carelessness.

    Isn't windscribe better and cheaper?

      Isn’t purevpn a literal profit via cashback and NordVPN free?

  • Can't seem to stack this onto an existing subscription.

  • -6

    Why so many up votes when VPNs are often free here via cashback?

    I understand the conspiracy theorists going for this thinking it’s more secure, but not the average ozbargainer

    Is there features im not aware of?

    I’m not sure with purevpn, but NordVPN is considered quite sound and there’s a lot of trust in their no logging policies

      How do "conspiracy theorists" fit in here?

      • You're a conspiracy theorist if you tell him something he doesn't understand.

        • +1

          This sounds like something a conspiracy theorist would say.

  • Thinking about grabbing this in preparation for the governments mandatory ID checking… Should I?

  • Does anyone know if this works with BitTorrent SOCKS5 and can saturate a gig connection or come close to it at least?
