    I think I should get CactusVPN, they have both DNS routing and proper VPN as a bundle for cheaper than what I am currently using. Send me a referal link SexyHyde, I will see if I can sort it out tomorrow.

    noxvayl@gmail.com if you have forgotten where my G+ page is.

    The link takes me to the pricing page of Cactus VPN. On that page it says you can purchase a second subscription for 50% off, you need to open a support ticket requesting that though. It is specifically for gifting to others so I would like to use that.

    I like having the ability to use the DNS servers and have a proper VPN so I look forward to using the service. I've already cancelled Unblock-us which ends in August. Is Cactus VPN similar to Unblock-us with the DNS being available to lots of devices from different locations? I plan on using the VPN for only my machines but I need to add the DNS to the home router for the rest of the house, not happy to use the ISP DNS servers.

    The DNS is only UK or US but numerous devices. The VPN is from servers in US, UK and Nederlands, only one connection to each server. Torrents only available on Dutch servers. At work so will raise a ticket when I get back.

    50% off is just for the first month only, if you gift it to another account. Otherwise it's locked to my client area. [​IMG]
    If you buy a year I would get 25% so could give you half when it comes in. Let me know what you want to do.

    That is fair enough I suppose, makes sense if you need extra users for your household. Use the separate account option, $50 for the year is reasonable.

    Is there an expiry date on this offer? I shouldn't be putting myself any further in overdraft so would prefer to do it next month. Cheers for finding this out :)

    I don't think there is an expiry date. I can always do the 25% split as I would get that for a whole year so would work out around $6 each.

    That is kind of you. Keep the discount for yourself, you are the one who has used and told me about the service so you deserve a good discount for that.

    Email me the offer when they provide you with it.

    I need the account email you signed up to cactus with. If you haven't created an account just create an account with the free trial.

    Same email address that I used to send you Mini Ninja's Humble link.

    Can you let me know when you pay so I can claim my two weeks free.

    Sure. Might poke you if they don't email me within a few days; not got one yet but I suspect their response time is longer than a few hours even though they are in the middle of their day.

    It is insane the difference in response times you get on the VPN. To be fair my internet when we were with IDNet rather than BT was good, got good response times and great service. Just goes to show how rubbish BT are. Encrypting my data and tunneling it allows better internet experience than not doing that, ridiculous how businesses are allowed to behave.

    Just be thankful you don't have one of the American telco. I will always avoid BT, after they stole over £100 off me and then having my speed double on the same line, just by switching to talktalk.
    The VPN has been great, I've seen some great speeds at work too. It's great for fixing streamed TV and YouTube 'glitches'.

    Just out of daftness - what kind of speeds do you lot see through your VPN? I've tried a few and never managed to break 30 Mb/s.
