Like I said, it’s hit and miss, worked on some devices, not on others
To be fair, Android TV is the most difficult device, it worked about once on there. iOS about 50% of the time, PC usually worked
Donyou know if its good for preventing hacks. I want to protect my computer but do i have to move my vpn.? Ive. Never used it before
this is what i needed, useful extension too, can play games off vpn and stream on vpn. real nice.
Sure, but the websites I was using it for would recognize it. Brazil, Argentina and a few others were all detected as not being where they were
I’m glad it works for you, but did not work for me on my LG CX, nVidia shield and a few others, and it didn’t work across the board for me sadly.
Sorry to be late, never check my alts and I don’t like posting reviews from my main accounts!
So far, WeVPN has been the best VPN I have been with. All servers work with all features. They aren’t in many countries, but their solid. Their kind of a grassroots thing, and not everything is perfect, but I like that their engineers post directly on their discord. Their down to add new features, and it seems like this is a company run by engineers, not businesses people. I really like the flat rate pricing and not having to hunt coupon codes, for $40/year it’s great. No DNS leaks, nothing ever detects I’m on a VPN, Adblock works fine (had problems in the beginning). Their outside 14 eyes, which isn’t big to me but nice to have for no extra cost. Speeds are good, I need to test over ethernet but no change in speed over WiFi on any devices (running on WiFi 6 for reference). The app is clean, but kinda sucks compared to others, but they push out frequent updates and things are constantly maturing. I’d suggest them, they just work better than any others I’ve tried.
TORGuard wasn’t bad, I just wanted more Netflix region than 1 (they give you two dedicated IPs, but the nondedicated constantly get flagged and blocked by websites, so you need 1 just for your home country). I didn’t like their app, but it looks much improved. They seem to be making general strides in improvement. I still think WeVPN is way better, but TORGuard wasn’t bad and I would recommend them if you for some reason had a bad experience with WeVPN, I definitely had my qualms with them but not like I have with the other big ones. They also had a server hacked at the same time NORDVPN did, and I think it was due to a poor/lazy setup IIRC
What do you mean? I’m confused by the question. It won’t stop hackers, but stops tracking and such. I’d absolutely recommend a VPN!
Working fine for me since Star launched a couple weeks ago, you might need to try different servers
Try a different protocol. IKEv2, OpenVPN or WireGuard.
Anyone who has do deal with the hundreds of different “free” filehosts out there that limit download to a single simultaneous download would benefit- That’s an awfully wide “niche.”
No other VPN bothers because this technology is awesome and isn’t that straightforward to implement
yeah, because some databases are more up-to-date than others
Good to know, thanks for the info! I don’t use Netflix to much so I may still give Torguard a shot because they have 6 months for $15 right now and money is a bit tight but may still just go with WeVPN for the year still cheap
They already told me it’s not working (yet) for the Dutch servers. I can’t use other servers, because one app requires a Dutch IP to work.
- Those non-Surfshark browser extensions aren’t standalone and need the main program to be installed. Not so with Surfshark because it’s self-contained. This is a huge deal especially on Linux.
- Try this yourself with your own VPN. Open up Firefox with these other VPN’s extension activated, and then open up Chrome also with the same VPN’s extension. The two browsers would be using the same VPN server because they have to. Not so with Surfshark- You can have two different VPN servers for those two browsers. You don’t really have an idea how advanced it is.
If it’s so easy to do, then why doesn’t ExpressVPN or Private Internet Access do it?
You mean a browser proxy is the same as a VPN? Then why even pay for VPN when we could all just use proxies?
for no reason
Guess you didn’t bother reading the reply above where I said:
Anyone who has do deal with the hundreds of different “free” filehosts out there that limit download to a single simultaneous download
If you never deal with those filehosts then great, lovely, good for you but lots of people do and when they don’t want to pay 20 different hosts just to download then they find ways around it
Don’t tell me 5 sandboxes take up less resources than 5 browser instances… Is this Win10’s sandbox or some other one?
Besides, proxy doesn’t encrypt so it doesn’t slow down downloads- which is why people use them for streams
Don’t know what you’re referring to. OS sandboxes never give me separate external facing IP. If it’s just a browser proxy, then why call it “sandbox” when it’s a “proxy”?
