Private Internet Access: 20% off VPN Service: $32/year or $5.50 per month

[flips]

They had this same deal about a year back.. also, it will renew at this price forever apparently.  I don't know when the deal expires, in the thread they talk about it going till the end of the week, so not sure if that means through the weekend or not...

 

It works out to $2.66 a month. Normally it is $39.95 / $6.95, not smoking, but it will add up in the years to come...

Anyone here with a really high speed connection have any experience with these guys? My issue is I have a 115Mbps internet connection and often these services don't provide enough bandwidth to max out your connection. If they do though I may sign up for it.

This is NOT an issue!  Show off!

I tried PIA for a month and it constantly disconnected.  Ive got a rock solid FiOS connection, but PIA wouldnt stay connected for more than a few minutes.

I didn't have connection issues but I did have speed issues on my 50/25 fios line. I think I received maybe 1MB/s down rather than 6-7 without it. Pretty significant sacrifice.

Well that solves that, then. I'll pass. I can max out my 115Mbps connect on torrents and usenet at 14.4MB/s so 1MB/s would be less than 10% of what I normally get.

Is it possible to use VPN connection only use usenet?

Possibly, it depends on your setup. If you have a dedicated usenet computer or vm, that has a vpn client that works with your chosen service, there is no reason you couldn't do what you want. 

 

You will probably need to open some ports on your router and forward them to facilitate this kind of access.

Too bad I saw this a week after I signed up with PIA.  So far ZERO issues.  Connection is rock solid and I am maxing out my internet connection.  Now we'll see if I get any letters from my ISP...
