iProVPN Lifetime Deal 34$ on Stacksocial & A Short Review and a Goog laugh :-)
So recently some new VPN lifetime deals popped up on Stacksocial.
One of them was iProVPN. Already after visiting their website I was pretty sure it was yet another reseller from either PureVPN/Ivacy or FastestVPN. I took it for a spin and I can say with confidence that this is yet another possibility to jump on the PureVPN/Ivacy/FastestVPN reseller ship. The website looks basically identical, DNS resolves like FastestVPN's (FastestVPN: dns3.p01.nsone.net ; iProVPN: dns1.p01.nsone.net ) and the Windows Apps look pretty much the same, too. One of the screenshots below also indicates they may be actually reselling FastestVPN
Overall, I thought iProVPN looked a bit more slick and clean, so if you wanna jump on that Lifetime ship of the PureVPN resellers but thought FastestVPN looks rather cluncky, maybe give this one a shot.
Like I said many times, having at least one lifetime deal of a PureVPN reseller is not bad imho. The device limits are usually gratious and unlike Keepsolid do count concurrent devices. Unblocking Streaming services, AdBlock and NATFirewall are some of the perks that are usually inherited by the VPN they are reselling (weather that would be PureVPN/Ivacy/Fastest).
FastestVPN and iProVPN have the advantage over Ivacy in so far as that their lifetime deal description does not mention the "5 year limit" after which you need to contact support to renew.
Right now it probably has fewer locations than FastestVPN and the Browser Extension (Chrome) only shows very few servers. There is a "Streaming" Server on UDP protocol only on the Windows App for "US, UK and India" streaming services. It does not indicate the specific services, however. Flix US on Windows wouldn't let me login to Netflix stating wrong password even though without VPN it worked (either my laptop was bugged or some new Flix measures?) but worked fine on their Android App.
Speeds were mediocre-good on the Windows App and good on the Chrome Extension.
Some Speedtests:
My Internet without VPN: 100 Mbit/s Download, 100 Mbit/s Upload.
VPN Servers (IKEV2):
Barcelona: 23 Mbit/s Download, 16 Mbit/s Upload
Germany: 47 Mbit/s Download, 17 Mbit/s Upload
USA (New York): 28 Mbit/s Download, 17 Mbit/s Upload
Do they support streaming? Yes.
Flix/BBC iPlayer, Hulu..: On the Windows App select UDP Protocol and look for "Streaming" Servers. They have US, UK and India "Streaming Servers", though it does not indicate which service specifically is unblocked.
Speedtest for the Streaming Servers using UDP was fairly good (except the last, heh):
Speedtest UDP "US Streaming": 73 Mbit/s Download, 63 Mbit/s Upload
"UK Streaming": 47 Mbit/s Download, 87 Mbit/s Upload
"India Streaming": 1.8 Mbit/s Download, 5.5 Mbit/s Upload
Browser extension: Only few locations, no "Streaming" Option. France, Italy, Japan, Russia, Netherlands, USA are the locations of the chrome extension.
iProVPN comes at 39,99$ on Stacksocial and can be brought done to 34$ using the code "AUOHF37T".
While having a PureVPN reseller lifetime deal is not bad, the question reminds whether this should be the one to get. FastestVPN may be more advanced but I, personally, like iProVPN's design more. If this is the first lifetime VPN deal for you, go back and get Keepsolid VPN. Just do it. You will thanks me later
Find some more screenshots below:
The first one is for the giggles. This is their chrome extension which does not looks similar to FastestVPN's app at all
P.S.: Try not to look for video reviews on YouTube on this one like I did. There are only videos from 1 person and it is a computer voice scrolling through a PDF Document with screenshots of the VPN explaining stuff.
Kind regards and have an awesome sunday my friends
