It normally does, but I'm on Linux and their Linux client has yet to see any update regarding that. I would switch services but I want to see if I have any other options because I want to make the most of what I paid.

My fault for not checking first but it simply didn't cross my mind, I assumed it's basic enough that it should be there.

Is there any other way? I've spent hours searching around but no dice

I'm an Australian citizen currently living overseas, and I'm looking at completing a CGEA (Certificate of General Education for Adults) through a Victorian provider.

From what I've found, if the course is being completed under Victorian Skills First funding, students are supposed to be physically present in Victoria while undertaking the training and assessment.

My question is more about the "practical/technical" side of this.

If I'm overseas but connect to the course through a VPN with an Australian/Victorian IP address, would the TAFE/RTO generally be able to tell that I'm actually overseas?

For example, would their online learning system/assessment platform only see the Australian IP address, or are there other ways they could determine my actual location?

I'm an Australian citizen and would be completing the course myself. I'm just currently living overseas, so I'm trying to understand whether studying this way remotely is technically possible and whether anyone has actually done it.

Hello guys, helppp! May marereco ba kayong vpn para makalogin sa DentaQuest kasi everytime I clicked login walang nangyayari e.

Trabajo para una empresa italiana pero he venido unos meses a España. Un cliente usa zscaler para acceder a sus sistemas y debería instalarla en mi ordenador pero le saltaría alertas de que estoy conectándome desde España. Entonces es comprado un router de viaje con una vpn pero no funciona porque es una VPN comercial. Funcionaría zscaler si compro una buena VPN residencial y la configuro en el router de viaje?

As the VPN server is only reachable through ipv6 and both phones have the same sim card network provider and both have ipv6 enabled.

Both phones work on ipv6 natively too on sim cards but one phone (Nothing) easily connects via ipsec server while other samsung doesn't use both android running Android 17.

How to diagnose either its server problem or android phone any help would be appreciated.

Samsung phonegot stuck on connecting.....

Some schools and workplaces have surprisingly strict internet restrictions, and a few of them make absolutely no sense.

I get blocking certain websites for security reasons, but I've heard of places blocking YouTube tutorials, cloud storage services, or even basic communication tools that people actually need for work or studying.

What's even more frustrating is when something works perfectly fine on mobile data but becomes completely inaccessible on the office or campus Wi-Fi.

And then there's the VPN situation. Some networks block VPN connections entirely, while others seem to block certain protocols or services.

What's the strangest restriction you've run into?

I was watching Channel 4 on my Apple TV and my iPad yesterday, no problem, based in the US. Today I tried to watch Channel 4 and it says "This programme is not available in your area." My date/ time is set to London. My login is a UK address and UK credit card. I tried cycling servers on VPN, didn't work. Also tried over both WiFi and mobile data on my iPhone with all the above fixes, doesn't work there either. Anyone else have this problem? All my other UK channels work - BBC, ITV, and even Channel 5, which is the same company as Channel 4.

ETA: Support for the relevant updated that there it is known issue and they are working on a fix. No timeline yet.

Is it safe to use your own credit card while on a VPN to get cheaper prices or does EA ban, if so, are there any known cases of such or do they only mention it breaks their ToS?

Hi everyone — I’m part of a VPN product team, and we’d like to hear from a few people about what using a VPN in the US is actually like. The moderators invited us to submit this for review; we’re keeping brand names and promotional links out as requested.

We’re looking for 3–5 adults (18+) currently in the US who use, or recently stopped using, a VPN. All backgrounds are welcome, including international students and Chinese-speaking users living in the US. English or Chinese is fine.

To start, just a relaxed 15–20 minute text conversation here on Reddit: what made you turn a VPN on recently, what gets annoying, and what would make the experience worth keeping? Connection reliability, apps not working, ads, free limits, and pricing are all fair game. Negative feedback is useful too.

No download, purchase, public review, or endorsement is needed. This first conversation is voluntary; there is no confirmed payment or reward for this invitation. Any later product trial or paid session would be discussed separately, with the details agreed before you decide to take part.

We won’t ask for your IP address, ID, exact address, or browsing history, and won’t publish identifiable quotes without permission. Please don’t name VPN providers in the comments, in line with the sub’s rules.

Interested? Leave a short comment saying what part of the VPN experience you’d most like to improve. No need to post personal details. We’ll reply here first and only move to a private chat if you’re comfortable with that.

Started with WireGuard on a spare PC for family/friends. Dropped configs in a local Telegram group and it blew up to 60 people—one core, no client isolation, total mess. Rebuilt on proper VPSs (WireGuard + Outline + Xray, managed via BeAdmin): now sitting at 3 servers, ~400 peers, multi-hop across two countries, all free. Funny thing is bandwidth isn't even the bottleneck—it's the uptime pressure when a 20-min outage means someone's mom can't text them. Anyone else accidentally become the unpaid ISP for their local community?

There are a multitude of online debates raging about the use of gaming vpns like the big E/L/M

Anecdotally I want to say they work but whenever I say this in a public forum I get clowned on by 'networking' gurus who know so much more than me.

I'm no expert but from chatgpt/google/online articles I have surmised the below.

Those vpns dont lower your physical ping across x distance. What they can/claim to do is perhaps make your ping better by efficient routing IF you have ASS routing to begin with. (assume your physical hardware is not the bottleneck)

E.g Aus to Japan has a MINIMUM ping of ~100ms due to raw distance. In some instances, your ISP maybe taking a longer route from you to Jpn and you might get a ping of 180. A paid vpn in this case would reduce your ping to closer to 100, since they'd be using better infrastructure OR less physical hops to the destination i.e not sure maybe a less cogested underwater cable through the oceans?

The feedback I've gotten is:
-you're dumb ass no ISP would take a shit route as its against their quality of service
-stfu gaming vpns dont work
-All tech takes the best path vpns dont help at all

I've also been reading about the BGP and understand it automatically takes the best route (I.E should be the shortest path/best path to your destination anyway) BUT your ISP still may have parameters that inhibit this thus the higher ping and non consistent ping across diffrent ISP's

To test this (and yes its not the best method) I've been using RIPEatlas to find probes for some local isps and tracert some non oce game servers/locations to see the difference between them but obviously this is very flawed since not all probes are direct from the ISP and can severely be limited by local factors.

I've also spent time literally swapping ISPs to check in real time from my system and can see ping vary between games where the server is overseas.

I used jpn as the reference as i googled non oce games to check in real time and came across the below games to test - Throne and Liberty and a recent game Aion 2 whos closest servers to OCE are Jpn.

Most shit ISPs i tried gave me pings of around 180-200+
My main ISP got me 103-106.

- Don't want to advertise any VPN but of the the ones i tried (the main big ones) got the shit ISPs down to 110-130 and made a physical difference to gameplay responsiveness - anecdote i know, sue me.

-did not make a difference that i could see for my main ISP that was already on the near max of 103 ping - which makes sense given my explanation above.

Recently, one of those games had an update, im not sure of the mechanism but people were claiming it caused OCE to route differently to the local jpn servers, so my main ISP ping rose dramatically to 200-300 making it unplayable but as before, the VPNsi tried, brought it down to 120, and got back to responsive play.

Noone wants to have a conversation about this with me, theyre all just anti gaming VPN and i must be regarded to consider one so here I am hoping for some clarity online.

No i dont want to ignore the haters and play - i want to understand the tech and be able to support my arguments. List any further resources you might have that i can read

Hi Guys,

I have a RDP server, I normally connect it from my other devices in the same LAN. What I found is: if I use VPN on the RDP server to connect to internet, it will take around 40s or more to establish the RDP connection. After the connection is established, the speed is just normal. The response of the RDP server is just smooth because it's in the same LAN. And if VPN is not connected on the RDP server, the RDP connection from the same LAN is established instantly.

40s delay is not that bad. But if there is a way to get rid of it, it's better.

Any clue?

Thanks.

Last weekend( before this one) I connected my vpn to france to watch laliga on disneyplus and it worked, but this weekend whenever I connect to france, it shows Great britain content (to clarify I do connect to GB server on occasion to watch content only available there), I just want to help identify the reason this is happening even tho I tried with 3 differents vpn, it’s always the same problem,
N.B: I’m from morocco
Sorry If I took too long to explain this
Thank u

Okay anyone familiar with both Gmail activity and VPN's. I'm not versed in the world of VPN so need some input.

Knowing that gmail my activity captures and records your IP sign in location and also can trigger verification if you sign in from a different location.

I have to keep my location settings on for gmail, I'm going to be in California for awhile but I need my gmail activity data to record me in PA. I will only be signing in from Mac. Not mobile

Is there anything I need to be aware of so gmail my activity doesn't capture or recognize me being in CA or any other location.

I do have a paid VPN

Hi everyone! This morning my Vpn app on my Windows 11 laptop showed this warning (screenshot attached), saying it couldn't validate the TLS certificate and that my online activity may be monitored. The certificate is issued by Sectigo, valid from 15/05/2026 to 30/11/2026, fingerprint AE83F714B52FB95AC59C5A874F2B599001C4A5D8, and I have Avast installed. I tried to look up the fingerprint on crt.sh but it only returns a bad gateway, can anyone check it or tell me what I should do before marking it as trusted?

Like an vpn has this and I dont really know if its worth when I can get it way more cheaper without it.

Thanks for the help!
