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?

QUOTE(layzieboy @ May 11 2022, 03:14 PM) 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

QUOTE(doublecool @ May 11 2022, 03:04 PM) 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.

QUOTE(~min~ @ May 11 2022, 07:20 PM) 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.

QUOTE(thedannyguy @ May 11 2022, 07:36 PM) 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.

QUOTE(kding2 @ May 11 2022, 12:12 PM) 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.

QUOTE(shadowglow @ May 11 2022, 11:17 PM) was on surfshark then I tried ivacy, they double charge then i got that reply.  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 Yeah, seems like the consensus here are surfshark and nordVPN, but i think more here are using surfshark, probably coz cheaper also.

QUOTE(raydriv3 @ May 11 2022, 11:00 PM) 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.

QUOTE(raydriv3 @ May 12 2022, 10:24 AM) both Ivacy & Surfshark have cashback as of 10am   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?

Something like less than 20usd for 2 years no?
