Express VPN just works. Could not get unlocater smart dns to work with telkom lte.

In my case it's a little hard because my entire household uses a smart dns to unblock Australian streaming services and it's a little hard and expensive to setup a vpn on a roku express for my not so computer literate mother to watch her favorite australian shows.

If I went the vpn route I would get a static ip address to avoid shared "ip address blacklisting" and a second router as an access point for the entire family to use.

My current setup is fibre with 3 family members setup with getflix on their own streaming devices but for people like me who don't have fibre, this is the only option with lte or purchase a vpn router for which is VERY expensive.

To use a smart dns with telkom you need to change your apn to unrestricted under the router settings tab.

To be honest, speeds are not great, but it's deffo better with a VPN, thats for sure. I'm actually using Express at the moment, but my month is running out, and i don't know if there is anything better out there. I've been doing a bunch a research, and seems that NORD,Express and SurfShark are pretty good options. I just checked out Windscribe but they want $1000 for lifetime membership - no way i'm paying that upfront for a VPN.

No need to get the lifetime. Just get build a plan for $2 per month per location and unlimited data with ROBERT adblocking.

Tried that a while back and got errors almost all the time from streaming sites that I was using a blacklisted ip address. You never know what other people are using a vpn for and all vpn's provide shared IP's to remain anonymous.

If I ever do go with a vpn in the future it will be with torguard vpn's static ip address feature or their streaming bundle which provides 2 streaming ip's.

Care to explain where and how ? - there is no such option on their website that i can see
 
Oh wow - i swear i'm going senile or something. 2 hrs ago when i went to the homepage - the only option that was there was some 7000 odd year plan at 0.00001c per month or something, or $1000 once off....

Now it shows as you see it in your screenshot.

Sigh

Anyhoo - thanks @backstreetboy
 
I wonder if these will have data roll-overs? Isnt that required these days by icasa?

"Previously, users were allowed to use this data from 00:01 until 05:59. However, MTN has now reduced this validity period to 00:01 until 04:59."

From a previous article on mbb

So where is the night time data valid until 6?? You now have an extra hour that comes off your main data.

Hey Gazg
Our night-time data is available between midnight and 06:00 every day :)
 
I wonder how big the market is for this...Surely most people who can afford R3k a month on internet are living in area's with fibre coverage :D
 
All Uncapped LTE packages are subject to a monthly threshold of 1TB. Once you’ve reached your monthly data limit, your connection speed will be limited to 1Mbps for the remainder of the month.

Is this a threshold on Any time + Night time data combined, or 1TB Any time / 1TB Night time?

With Rain R250 Unlimited Off Peak I currently stand on 725GB with speeds between 20 - 50mbps and that is Netflix streaming, working from home, kids updating and downloading xbox games, tablets, smartphones connected, I will easily hit 1TB before 20th of the month. I am more than happy with this offer @ R250.00. R2949 LTE uncapped with 1TB softcap...well this is madness to pay that!! Same as you, I will stick with Rain...

What do you do between 18:00-23:00?
