OverPlay Switch & Score Promo

Are you ready for NCAA March Madness.  The with first games tipping off soon I’m excited to watch all the action.  Speaking of watching the best sporting events online, our friends at OverPlay have a promotion running.  During the OverPlay Switch and Score promo you can save 25% off SmartDNS and enter for a chance to win 3 months of Sling TV and a free Amazon Fire or Roku streaming stick.  The contest will be active thru April 17th.

OverPlay Switch and Score

The OverPlay team is offering up to 25% off their popular SmartDNS service during the promotion.  You can use one of the coupon codes on their site or our VPNSP promo page.  After signing up make sure you let OverPlay know why you switched Smart DNS providers.  By doing so you’ll qualify to win the free 3 month Sling TV subscription and media player.  Having tested both streaming sticks I would recommend the Roku.

In addition to the Switch and Score promotion, OverPlay just rolled out a new feature called JetSwitch.  We’ll share our thoughts on the new feature in an upcoming post after we’ve had some time to test it out.  For now I’ll say that it looks very cool.  Check out this screenshot of the new location settings screen:

OverPlay JetSwitch

The idea is simple and yet very powerful.  As a member of OverPlay you can set the region for each channel.  The image above shows a small sample of what the new JetSwitch feature has to offer.  I took a quick look and JetSwitch will let you configure the region and on/off toggle for over 60 channels.  That means you can browse to different channels and enjoy the content in whichever region you want per channel.  Without the need to switch DNS entries each time.  I look very forward to testing it out and will follow up with a post soon.

HideIPVPN Formula 1 Promo

HideIPVPN offers both VPN and SmartDNS.  The main difference is privacy.  If you want to protect your online privacy then a VPN is the right option.  Their VPN provides encrypted access through a network of VPN servers in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Netherlands and Germany.  You can choose the best VPN plan based on server locations.  Most their VPN plans also include SmartDNS access free of charge.

Smart DNS services differ from VPN in that they do not offer encrypted access.  You can think of SmartDNS as a proxy that helps unblock content in other countries.  It doesn’t provide encryption like a VPN so you won’t have that extra layer of privacy and anonymity.  It’s also faster since encryption adds overhead.  HideIPVPN SmartDNS service costs less than VPN.  With unlimited access to unblock sites in the US, UK and Poland.

HideIPVPN won’t leave you guessing as to which sites and services you can unblock using SmartDNS.  Paid services like Netflix will require that you have an account.  Their SmartDNS service will give you access to the Netflix site as if you were sitting in the United States.  That’s just an example.  Here’s are just a few of the sites that the HideIPVPN SmartDNS service will help you unblock:

  • United States – Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, Crackle, HBO GO, CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, Spotify, Pandora
  • United Kingdom – Netflix, BBC iPlayer, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Sky Go, NOW TV, LOVEFILM
  • Poland – Kinoplex, VOD.onet.pl, Player.pl, TVP.pl, Cineman, Strefa VOD, oPlex.pl, HBO GO

OverPlay 25% Off Coupon Code

We’re excited to share a 25% off coupon from OverPlay.  The promo code is good for 25% off the first billing cycle of any Secure VPN or SmartDNS plan.  That includes 25% savings on the first month, quarter, 6 months, or year of access.  The coupon stacks with their regular term discounts helping you to save up to 37% off a full year.  Enjoy VPN from $6.25 a month or SmartDNS from $3.12 a month.  Visit our OverPlay special page to save.

OverPlay coupon

OverPlay is one of a select few companies that offers both VPN and Smart DNS.  Better yet VPN members get free access to their SmartDNS service.  That gives you the best of both worlds.  Protect your privacy and encrypt your data with the VPN.  Then when you want to watch content in another country fire up their SmartDNS service.  The difference is encryption.  You can use OverPlay’s SmartDNS to watch tv shows and movies in other countries without any speed loss.  It will unblock any geographic restrictions along the way.

You can read our OverPlay review for a full rundown of the service but let me give you a quick overview.  OverPlay manages a network of over 140 VPN servers in 48 countries around the world.  Members can connect to any of them using their Windows and Mac client software.  Encrypt your data and protect your privacy using their VPN network.  As a VPN user you also have free access to their popular SmartDNS service.

Speaking of SmartDNS, OverPlay will help you access channels in over 21 regions around the world.  Including popular video services like Netflix, Hulu, and BBC iPlayer.  Along with music services like Pandora and live sporting events like the World Cup.  I love to use their SmartDNS to watch shows and movies in other countries.  You may not realize but Netflix has a different content library for each region and OverPlay will let you switch between them.  This opens up newer movies and shows that would otherwise be blocked.

Visit our OverPlay special page to save 25% off the first billing cycle of any VPN or SmartDNS plan.

PureVPN Chinese New Year Promo

PureVPN Chinese New year Sale

Let’s take a quick look at the PureVPN Chinese New Year promotion.  PureVPN plans include access to their full network of VPN servers plus free SmartDNS service if you sign up for the annual term.  You can use the PureVPN client software to access both VPN and SmartDNS.  The difference is encryption.  Here’s a brief explanation of each included service:

  • VPN Service – PureVPN manages a network of over 450 servers in 78 countries around the world.  You can use their Windows and Mac software.  Along with mobile apps for iOS and Android to access any server location.  When connected to their VPN your data is encrypted.  This adds a layer of protection and helps ensure your online privacy.
  • Smart DNS – unlike VPN, the SmartDNS service is specifically set up to unblock access to content in other countries.  For example you can stream Netflix US from outside the United States (with a Netflix membership) or watch BBC programming from outside the United Kingdom.  SmartDNS doesn’t include encryption.  That means you’re not protecting your privacy but the connection is faster.  It can also help users in the United States get around ISP speed restrictions.

You can read our PureVPN review to learn more about their service.  They offer all new users a 3 day money back guarantee.  I think you’ll be pleased with the PureVPN service.  Both their VPN and Smart DNS are easy to use.  They have a nice support staff if you need help along the way.  I recommend their annual account for the best price and free SmartDNS.  Remember to sign up by February 20th to take advantage of the 10% savings.

If you’ve never tried StrongVPN or haven’t used the service in awhile this is a great time to sign up.  I visited their site and noticed a number of specials.  To start the StrongVPN site has a fresh new design.  The first thing I noticed when viewing the new homepage was a special 30% discount for a plan that included unlimited access to VPN servers in the US, UK, Canada and the Netherlands for just $4.58 a month.

FlashRouters Super Bowl Special

As our friends at FlashRouters dig their way through the snow they could use some Arizona weather.  While temperatures in the 70’s aren’t likely coming to the NE anytime soon they can still celebrate the big game in style.  To help FlashRouters launched a Super Bowl special.  Save $49 off premium AC routers along with a free 1 year warranty worth $35 and support upgrade valued at $25.  To take advantage of their Super Bowl promotion visit FlashRouters.com and use coupon code SUPER to save $49 off four of their best AC routers.

FlashRouters Super Bowl special

Let’s take a look at the premium AC router models that are on sale this week to celebrate the big game:

  • Netgear R-7000
  • Asus RT-AC87U
  • Linksys EA900 AC1900
  • Asus RT-AC68U DD-WRT

Granted those are the big hitters.  You get what you pay for but FlashRouters understands that not everyone is going to want the top of the line.  They sell a wide range of models to meet your needs.  Here are a couple other great models that are discounted for the promotion:

  • RT-AC68U DD-WRT
  • Linksys EA6900 AC1900

You really can’t go wrong with any of the routers listed above.  If you want the best value in terms of price I’d recommend the Linksys EA6900 AC1900.  You can take that router home with a free upgrade to 1 year of support for under $250.  That’s an excellent value for the powerful custom AC router.

If you’d like to learn more about FlashRouters they offer a helpful video on their homepage.  The animated video is well done.  It will walk you through the benefits of a custom router.  In a minute and a half you’ll learn just how much value their custom firmware offers.  Replacing the factory firmware with DD-WRT or Tomato greatly extends the functionality of any router you choose from their site.  Take a moment to watch their video.

The Super Bowl savings on their top 4 AC models listed above and free support upgrade requires that you use coupon code SUPER.  You’ll notice discounts on lots of other models as well.  Simply visit their site and browse through the selection of routers from Cisco Linksys, Asus, Netgear and TP-Link.  The sale won’t last long though so I suggest you visit FlashRouters.com now to save.

How do you plan to watch the Super Bowl this year.  If you’re in the United States NBC is going to stream the game and several hours of additional coverage for free online.  You won’t need a paid cable of satellite subscription to enjoy the game.  However, we assume they will geo-block the broadcast to those in the US.  If you want to watch the NBC coverage from outside the US then sign up for a VPN service like IPVanish.
