Obviously Ivacy is pretty good. I have been using express VPN for several years and love it but do you think I’d be happy with Ivacy for streaming? Such a good price. I think it’s only $60 for 5 years. I read that they don’t have a kill switch for Firestick’s. Is that a concern? Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for all you do for us.
Happy holidays to you as well. I've had better experience with ExpressVPN. Mostly in consistent speeds and some servers I've found that were extremely fast. Plus I love that Express sends me emails with where to get the latest blacked out content free just by changing locations. Good service
Awesome video. I use express for the last year. I can say the customer service is above and beyond. They are quick to respond and don´t stop until they answer your question. I am not a fan of any kind of contracts but every dollar counts these days. I may shop around now with this new information you have provided. Thanks for the information.
Hello. I have a question for you. I downloaded the Kodi App and I have the paid version of the Tunnel Bear VPN subscription, because Express VPN is to expensive for me at the moment. Will Tunnel Bear vpn work the same as Express VPN when streaming the Kodi app. Or should I say can I get the same content with either VPN? Looking forward to hearing from you. And thanks for keeping us informed.
Great and useful review. Can you explain what clearing cache means? Why does that prevent the VPN from accessing an application like Netflix for example? Thanks.
Yes, we have a few videos about cache and what it does already on the channel. I would check those out. Click our channel name. Look for low storage fix. One fix is clearing temporary memory files (cache)
Watched your vblog about setting the Express VPN up, simple. Thank you. However, I do have another question. Once I purchase the VPN for our smart TV’s, do I need a totally separate VPN plan for our cell phones and laptop?
No, if you use a VPN like expressvpn, you will get a log in that you can use for all your devices. I think i have the vpn on about 7 or 8 devices right now with the same log in (cell, tablet, computer, firestick, android boxes, router etc). Don't forget our discount link - expressvpn.com/curiositycafe
With prime it sometimes works with Ivacy. I had it working for maybe 2-3 episodes of a show, then it cut out and gave the vpn error. Then happened on all shows. I cleared it by clearing cache. Then I could use prime for a while. Seems to ping. But it is the only one I could use prime at all:)
Wouldn't your speed depend how close you are to the vpn servers? For example, some of the no names that tested well for you, couldn't they just be lucky b/c a major server is close by.
Great question... Each server will have a slightly different speed, but location to you does not matter. Example I get faster speed on UK servers and I'm in the US. I tested these with their recommended servers to my location and all were Chicago or New York to make it fair. Ran the tests multiple times and almost exact results.
I use Express VPN for years now. I'm in Chile and I can use my VPN with prime. Only Dallas server, sometimes washington dc server. Could never get hulu to work though. They have the best customer service. Always quick to answer and always a solution. Express all the way.
We actually did mention Windscribe in the video and Atlas and Privado both offer free VPNs. But keep in mind, free is usually one connection and limited data and limited servers. 99% of the time it's too slow to properly stream. But I have done a video on the top FREE VPNs already on the channel. It's still up. Thanks for supporting the channel and giving good ideas:)
I currently have Nord VPN however I’m having issues I cannot use TNT app when I connect to an Atlanta server instead of programming from the Atlanta area it gives me programming from Los Angeles I have had IPvanish in the past and it worked perfectly as far as regional broadcasting. I was thinking about trying Express VPN my question is if I decide to use Express will I be able to view the regional broadcasting for the server I connect to and will I be able to use apps like TNT while connected to the VPN I will appreciate any information you can provide however I am going to get my money back from NordVPN and based on your recommendation I’ll move forward
Yes, you will be happy with ExpressVPN. Here is the discount link: www.expressvpn.com/curiositycafe - I am regularly changing locations for regional content. Works amazing
@@CuriosityCafe thank you for your response I’ll head over there right now however one last question will Expressvpn work with TNT allowing live broadcasting it detects the VPN for all the other services are used and will not connect
No, at this time only express has a router app. Express I have installed on 29 devices with one account. Simply because I don’t run more than 4-5 at any time and have it on my router. So it’s not an issue
@Curiosity Cafe why did you choose to install it on your router? I mean I totally understand not installing it on every device if you can run it straight through the router. But, Will that protect any data being passed via your router to all my devices, or do I have to do extra steps in the router settings 🤔?
Another factor, which ones are U.S.A. & ones that are not ? Banks or PAYPAL charge for "FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS". Also, how is a VPN installed on SUPERBOX 3 ?
I have my 4k firestick directly plugged into the router... I have Nord VPN connected only to the firestick and use Apollo Group TV..... Movies and live feeds are fine but when we watch pretty much any tv show unless it was from a while ago I get constant buffering... I'm clearing the cache and unplugging the router a couple times a day.. sometimes if we're binging.... every episode..... Literally driving me crazy.. We only have AT&T 50 mbits here as the maximum they provide. I've done speed tests to the firestick and we're getting all of the signal... Then I immediately do the test on the Apollo site it is always losing speed... normally goes down to 45 or so...after watching this video is it the slower speeds of the Nord VPN or could it be something else....
Could be Nord or Apollo. I don't use either because they both have issue. Nord is too slow and apollo when tested buffered too much. We use Express and Sterling IPTV. Works much better
ustv247 is a site that is used to sell you a VPN. There are many better options that are free. We have share quite a few that do not require their specific VPN. You can see them here: patreon.com/curiositycafeyoutube - We have to have private hosting as youtube does not allow this information anymore.
In your compatibility test. What do you mean you were able to “access “ them???? With a VPN on, do you mean Netflix, Hulu and others you were able to turn them on in other countries???? I don’t know how to do that. I have Ivacy and I can connect to other countries, but that’s all I know how to do. Nothing comes on in the country, can’t see anything. What are you talking about or how do you do it????? Newbie.
@@CuriosityCafe I’ll try that. No one has told me how to use a VPN before. Didn’t know how it worked. I enjoy tennis, so when the French Open comes on if I go to France on the VPN how do I get to Paris for tennis there?
@@CuriosityCafe DOC. I TRIED IVACY AND AWARD VPN. NEITHER ONE WORKED. I CLICKED IN AUSTRALIA AND THEN LONDON, ALL I GOT WERE ERROR MESSAGES AND IT WOULD TRY AGAIN IN A FEW SECONDS, BUT NOTHING. DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG???
Well it might be that your device is remembering your previous location. What i would do is make sure to change locations, then Clear cache and force close netflix or hulu. Then relaunch it. That should do the trick. You don't need to do that on a phone or computer, but sometimes on netflix you do. Easy fix
At the moment I use ipvanish. It's okay, but I used to have nordvpn. Which I like better. I'm going to switch vpns again I would love to try expressvpn. Sometimes ipvanish doesn't work so great.
Which ones are located in foreign countries so the USA courts cant go after them and force info about their customers? I know Nord is in Panama and Express is in the USA
You are correct. I was comparing vpns, not the drop from no vpn. But for your record, speed is 200-235 before VPN. So not much drop on Express or Ivacy
I would stick with the best expressvpn.com/curiositycafe - get the free 30 day money back guarantee. You won’t regret it. Ivacy is ok as well, but not as many locations so you are limited
Ivacy has 10 simultaneous connections. It is a good deal for sure. You can have it on unlimited, but only 10 running at the same time. Unless you have a call center business or network, 10 at the same time is reasonable. I use expressvpn (which is similar) on at most 3 phones, and 3 tvs at any given time.
I was surprised. Not all the bells and whistles of expressvpn on the actual app (like being able to put on the router itself), but the price was right and speed was close to Express

I just purchased my 2 year contract with Ivacy vpn. Its working great & im able to still get prime video without turning off the vpn.
With prime it sometimes works with Ivacy. I had it working for maybe 2-3 episodes of a show, then it cut out and gave the vpn error. Then happened on all shows. I cleared it by clearing cache. Then I could use prime for a while. Seems to ping. But it is the only one I could use prime at all:)

@curiositycafe what antivirus do you use with ExpressVPN
I have a review of total virus on the channel
@@CuriosityCafe thank you I was looking and didn't see anything.

Thanks again for another great update on VPN's.🤗

The hulu thing could be a registration issue somewhere. We use it with ours regularly
I have Express VPN I just renewed it that's how much I like it thank you for all your tips and help take care be safe ciao ciao.
Yep, thats my regular one too. Nice to know others are trying to compete though.
Great video! How about testing just free versions? Proton, Windscribe, etc.
We actually did mention Windscribe in the video and Atlas and Privado both offer free VPNs.

New to streaming and VPN. How do I use your Express link on my TV?
Click the link on your phone or computer, sign up and then will give you the android or tv app. We also have a beginners setup video on the channel.
I need a VPN that's reasonable with a great reception and security?

I've never found a channel that didn't work with it. It is known as the best to geo-unlock
can ivacy be installed on a router? i see it does offer twice as many devices as express. maybe not a deal breaker.
No, at this time only express has a router app. Express I have installed on 29 devices with one account. Simply because I don’t run more than 4-5 at any time and have it on my router. So it’s not an issue

I just renewed my Express VPN.👍
What was the baseline internet speed without a VPN?
235
IVACY thank you ‼️Now can u help me to get a file link so I can download some apps? Please 🥺 thanks ur the Best 👌🏼✌🏼☺️
Filelinked was eliminated over a year ago. We teach installation videos on Patreon. Support us and we take the time to support you
Another factor, which ones are U.S.A. & ones that are not ? Banks or PAYPAL charge for "FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS". Also, how is a VPN installed on SUPERBOX 3 ?
They are all outside US (all major VPNs), superbox 3 has ExpressVPN app installed, but no free vpn

Actually all the ones I mentioned are located outside the US. Including Express
I have I Pvanish it was very slow . Sometimes I have to turn VPN off Sometimes to watch my firestick
Did you watch our recent “speed up IP Vanish” video? Might help
How do I download Ivacy app on my android phone and onto my Nvidia Shield. I don't see on the playstore.
When you purchase with the link provided, they will email you the log in and installation instructions
VPN sounds like the best
It would help if you showed speed as % of base speed but good vid.
You are correct. I was comparing vpns, not the drop from no vpn. But for your record, speed is 200-235 before VPN. So not much drop on Express or Ivacy
On that list, how many keep logs of you
Zero
I want to try ivacy but I want my VPN secure!?

Why is IPVANISH no longer working with my IPTV
I don’t know. I use ExpressVPN. Never heard of it not working with any IPTV
Ivacy looked like best deal.
Express VPN about to renow this month 5 * * * * * Customer service as well
Good to know
Due we really need a VPN honestly do we?
Yes, 100%. Speaking from someone who's helped hundreds deal with hackers and malware... yes.
@@CuriosityCafe I know you only give good advice.
VPN Express sounds the best
What about surfshark ?
It’s top 20… but definitely not the fastest or most compatible
Which company has unlimited connections?
Ivacy has 10 simultaneous connections. It is a good deal for sure. You can have it on unlimited, but only 10 running at the same time. Unless you have a call center business or network, 10 at the same time is reasonable. I use expressvpn (which is similar) on at most 3 phones, and 3 tvs at any given time.
For the price Ivacy sounds great.
I was surprised. Not all the bells and whistles of expressvpn on the actual app (like being able to put on the router itself), but the price was right and speed was close to Express
Express VPN as most dependable
What about PIA?
We talk about it at the end if you watched the whole video
PIA speed test was 43, less than half all the others. It was number 10 on the list
👍
