Want VPN & Got $20? Roll the dice @ stacksocial - MrNoBody - 09-13-2019 StackSocial offers a Lifetime 10-device subcription to FastestVPN for $34.99 - $15.00 = $19.99 with code SLICKVPNSAVE. (SD deal minus all the clickbait links.) Took one for the team & signed up using PayPal. Got the "credentials' in <10mins. I'll give it a try tonight on the MBP and update here. :biggrin: Re: Want VPN & Got $20? Roll the dice @ stacksocial - decay - 09-13-2019 Please do share your experience Re: Want VPN & Got $20? Roll the dice @ stacksocial - Ombligo - 09-13-2019 yes, I was looking at NordVPN Re: Want VPN & Got $20? Roll the dice @ stacksocial - MrNoBody - 09-13-2019 UPDATE: FastestVPN up and running macOS 10.12.6. Upon launching the app, 'netconfig' asks for permission to modify settings but refuses to accept log-in info! Had to 'cancel' it 3 or 4 times then it goes away. (I've had this happen with other apps, think it's a 10.12 bug?) Log in to FastestVPN.app, choose server, it connects. 1. NYC server: slow as is the NYC on PIA. 2. Atlanta server is only 5% slower than "straight" Comcrap. If FastestVPN holds up & the service doesn't go t!ts up, think I'll be cancelling my PIA renewal next February. fingers crossed Re: Want VPN & Got $20? Roll the dice @ stacksocial - rouderon - 09-13-2019 Thanks MrNoBody! If anyone is on Mojave, in order to open the FastestVPN app, you'll have to run: sudo spctl --master-disable in terminal (make sure you've quit out of System Preferences first). This command brings back the 'Allow apps downloaded from: Anywhere' option in the Security & Privacy section. Re: Want VPN & Got $20? Roll the dice @ stacksocial - Ombligo - 09-13-2019 Yeah, a vpn that requires a terminal command to run isn't something I want. The savings are nice but the price is too high. Re: Want VPN & Got $20? Roll the dice @ stacksocial - Racer X - 09-13-2019 I use NordVPN and I think yearly? Re: Want VPN & Got $20? Roll the dice @ stacksocial - MrNoBody - 09-14-2019 Forgot about the Gatekeeper, thanks rouderon. Still don't know what causes that 'netconfig' nag to happen or why it refuses authorization. In my case I didn't need to over-ride the Gatekeeper anyway. Re: Want VPN & Got $20? Roll the dice @ stacksocial - Will Collier - 09-15-2019 Nice, thanks for the heads-up. Easy install to Tunnelblick. |
