Anyone here got any recommendations for VPN service to use here in Malaysia. I am currently using weVPN but now cant seem to access it via the app anymore, only via the browser extension, like as if kena blocked. But anyhow, im also looking for an alternative mainly for Netflix access from overseas. WeVPN started ok last time, but then netflix kept detecting the VPN and kicked me out each time.

I am considering NordVPN and SurfShark, but does anyone here have any experience with either? especially when it comes to speed and access to netflix?

i using surfshark, i think its alright, cheap also, last year sign 3 years plan

yeah, surfshark was my top contender, but i saw that speed wise it drops quite a lot. Hows ur speed when connecting to a US server? or even AUS server?

Shopback sometimes have upsize cashback. So your vpn ends up being really cheap. Last time nord had 90% cashback via shopback.
*
wow, really? okok, gotta check that out.. im leaning more towards nord at the moment coz so far seems like speed and netflix connectivity is the best.. but its slightly more expensive than surfshark. with rebate will still be about 1USD more

my internet plan is 100mbps

aus server - download 90, upload 40-50

us server - download 44, upload 29

for netflix, both server works, one even identified that the anime that i was watching wasn't support in aus region

overall i think its fine enough
*
oh, thats not too bad actually.. for 100mbps to get 90mbps down for Aus server is pretty good. Problem is i read a review one saying speed is great for surfshark, then another one saying speed is bad. So I didnt know which to believe.

subscribe surfshare 1 years, then near refund expiration date, ask for refund. they will offer you 2 years same price
*
wow, didnt know there was such a loophole. When u say near refund expiry date, u mean before 30 days right.

I have nordvpn. Pretty good.

Hows your speed? for eg. AUS server and US server. Another member here shared his/her speeds. for a 100Mbps down internet connection, he/she got 90Mbps for AUS and around 44Mbps for US server.

Nordvpn. I just bought it and pretty satisfied with its service. Fast and simple to use.

Purevpn is garbage. Always experience timeout and slow browsing every time i connected it. I was using Purevpn before i changed it to Nordvpn in this month.

Express Vpn is pretty good but it is kinda expensive.

And yes, Nordvpn can connect to Netflix.
*
Hows the speed for u? eg. AUS and US servers? and Netflix u had any issues with Nordvpn before? Some said that Surfshark can access, but sometimes it gets disconnected, does that happen to NordVPN too?

Trying to justify the price difference between the two.

then it became..rm30 per year for 15 years! AHHAHA
it's a sg company.

but honestly, i think surfshark more seamless

lol.. 15 years.. massively overcompensating laugh.gif

Yeah, seems like the consensus here are surfshark and nordVPN, but i think more here are using surfshark, probably coz cheaper also.

Nordvpn 2 years < subscribe it via Shopback cashback 80% during black friday, only pay less than 20$
*
Black friday a bit too far away. So far cheapest pricing with vouchers for Nordvpn now would come up to $3.09/mth (2 year plan) and $2.21/mth (2 year plan) for Surfshark. Just scratching my head to figure out which is better, both also seem to have good reviews from LYN members.

oh nice, do u know how the cashback works? a little bit confused on the 70% cashback. Does it mean its applied as a coupon on the original price? or will we get an additional 70% cashback after the discount? seems a little odd to give so much back no?

for mine, it work like this > blackfriday deal at USD89 for 2 years, then cashback 80% given in SGD90+ after 1-2months.. so it gave me cashback for discounted amount on checkout

u will pay whatever amount stated on the shop itself 1st, then in shopback website will tell u pending cashback amount

Wow.. doesn't that mean u paid very little for 2 years? Something like less than 20usd for 2 years no?
