Strong VPN

Strong VPN has a discount so I decided to give them a try.
Was pleasantly surprised and wanted to share my experience.

I’m using OPNsense on a fanless box and configured Strong VPN as a Wireguard tunnel.
My ISP is AT&T 1000 with a"raw" speed of 975Mb down.
My speedtest with Strong has been consistently around 600-700Mbps which is the same, or slightly better than WeVPN and about the same as Nord. Until Strong, WeVPN and Nord have been my fastest.

I do a lot of streaming and Strong has been great unlocking everything I threw at it. Nord did a great job as well but I found that Nord’s (shared) IP was always prompting Captchas or web site rejections. With Strong VPN I have not had any of these problems.

WeVPN has been difficult to configure on the router, but this is moot if you are only using their app. WeVPN has no setup guides for OPNsense/pfSense on Wireguard, and the DNS they use (for streaming) is 10.255.0.1 - which is a non-routable (RFC1918) IP address. I’ve gotten it to work but it’s still a bit “quirky”.

I’m going to be keeping Strong VPN and would love to hear if anyone has any opinions?..

I reviewed them on my channel. It’s a decent vpn but not a fan of the holding company (j2global owns tons of vpns and ign etc).

Absolutely. I can say from my own experience that Strong has successfully unblocked: Pandora, Spotify, Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, and Prime Video.
