Are VPNs becoming useless

VPN Forum

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but recently there are so many websites that won’t let you use the website until you turn off your vpn. If so many websites are realising you are using vpn… what’s the point of renewing them. I don’t think I will bother again

sites like what?!
*edit* to answer you question: no, they aren’t becoming useless.

Pick a less popular provider

You can keep switching servers, a lot of them can’t keep up.

Yeah I’ve noticed that also that some sites refuse to accept VPN like in past was ok I only use it for surfing the net and online bill stuff I usually always connect to my local area without any issues, but now I’ve noticed that some sites refuse get error check your internet connection.

Am also increasingly encountering this, as well as vpn breaking features within websites e.g. review sections.

There are VPNs that have exit points that are 100% residential and rotating IP addresses. With that you don’t get CAPTCHAs or issues with streaming.

VPNs serve more purposes than just dodging geoblocking.

Someone might poo poo this but why cant you use the VPN to connect to a location elsewhere in the UK?

Mines set to london and everything works fine.

So why wouldn’t a website try to block it if they think such access is circumventing their restriction? Just that some are more successful than the others. Anyway, are you trying to bypass the georestriction, or paywall?

Why do you use a VPN service?

12

Then avoid those sites. Buy elsewhere, read other news, etc.

13

I have yet to find a good reason to use a VPN in the first place

14

Can you give some examples so that I can check with my VPN?

15

like what?

I always have one connected, and other than some video streaming sites, I’ve never run into an issue.

16

Basically any big streaming site isn’t working anymore quite a few normal websites have also started this to. Iv notice it more and more recently

17

Is the speed still good compared to conventional VPN?

18

VPN’s were never intended to get around restrictions on streaming and web sites.

They’re meant to extend internal networks to external devices with an encrypted tunnel

19

Mainly privacy, use to use it to view movies elsewhere in other countries but that is no longer possible, and streaming football when it’s not on tv

There is not always alternatives
