Surfshark doesn't seem to work with india anymore due to their use of virtual locations or something. I tried it to buy a year the other week and it just kept giving me the price in either GBP or EUR depending on it's mood.
Ended up using the free Windscribe to set up in Turkey in the end.

haha yeah i literally just found that out.

I used Express VPN. The default connection to India was via UK. So got UK prices. They offer a 2nd India via Signapore and that got me Indian prices.

Any connection I made to Turkey got me Uk prices. I tried Argentina 1st and got Brazil and their prices but needed a Brazilian tax code....so gave up with that after a few attempts with a generator.

ProtonVPN ( I have a sub) set to India. 12 months prepaid,ideally wanted 24months but wasn't an option, paid using Revolut. Came up with some 'Razorpay' payment gateway to process the payment but 12 months for £13 or so. Glad to see it still works.

Same as me. Just do a top up and add another 12 to get your 2 years.

Anybody know about a family Sub? maybe they are not available in the 3rd world?

I have a family plan from India, though I changed the billing to Turkey for next month.

Good shout mate, cheers

Cancelled my Argentina sub while on holiday in Turkey. Now got the family sub. Any idea how I get around the invite saying the person isn't in the same country? Doesn't seem to be VPN related. Perhaps their address on their google account?

edit 2 - tried someone else, also says 'looks like not in the same country' ... how are you guys inviting family members onced signed up in Turkey, for example?

Could anybody help with me getting a family sub? Any help (official guides) talk about clicking buttons on my profile that don’t exist.

Have you already got an active premium membership? If so you’ll need to cancel that first before the family option shows up.

john_smith · 24 Jan 2023 at 21:33

Ahh thank you. Yeah it’s active for the next 24 months. Lol. Do you get a refund on it?

They need to VPN in to Turkey to sign up, after that it'll work.

That's how my Tidal family account worked anyway.

Not sure, you’ll have to cancel and see if you get money back, I’d have thought they would if you’ve paid up for 2 years.

Thanks mate. Yea I think something wasn’t quite right with their location when accepting the invite. Will try again today. Cheers.

Best way is to set up your family group before paying for premium. No issues with location then.

Ohhhhhh, that's smart. Thanks for the tip for next time! Managed to sort it in the end, turns out it was literally the wrong location. All added now.

When I renewed my account via Turkey a few months back, I sent out a family invite to the wife afterwards and she joined with no issues, no need to use VPN or anything.

Dyson · 25 Jan 2023 at 11:33

What am I doing wrong... Used a couple of VPNs for Turkey but only see £? Anything I need to change in Google?

john_smith · 25 Jan 2023 at 11:36

@Kol / @SixTwoSix Where did you find the location / did you manage to do it after buying a single premium sub? Thank you.

Nope nothing needs changing just the VPN, have you tried Windscribe? Theirs worked for me last week.
