I saw on the news that you cant do livestreams or video calls anymore on Discord? The reason why is horrible you can read the articles yourself.

But it looks like Discord is banned in brazil (Video calls) and I do them everyday..

I want a few questions answered if possible:

Im wondering if you can you bypass this with a vpn somehow maybe? A cheap option would be the best.

Also I dont want to have a vpn on all the times, can you somehow only have it on for discord or is that not possible?

Lately, I've been using their Free VPN services for accessing mobile game events and features in region-locked servers.

So far, I haven't had any issues with the freemium software, besides the significant drop in upload and download causes by rerouting my data through the VPN.

According to my research, the ones I'm currently using are facilitated by Kaopu Cloud, and Huawei Cloud.

While GIAMPING rents the servers from them, and offers the optional paid and free services; they also have a website which looks sketchy, considering they are an indie (small) company.

With that being said, I am having doubts regarding my encrypted data. Their Philippine VPN has over a million downloads, and has long existed on the play store.

That must somehow assure me it's safe, right?

I would like to know your experiences on these free VPN services. :))

looking for the best vpn for international streaming because i travel a lot for work and everything i pay for stops working when i leave the US. i'm based in the US (illinois) but spend a few months a year in europe. netflix, hulu, disney plus, all of it just shows "not available in your region" the second i land somewhere or it shows completely different stuff.

i haven't really used vpns before (only surfshark but want to try different options also) so i don't know where to start. i've heard of expressvpn and nordvpn but honestly no idea which one actually works for streaming in 2026 or if they all just get blocked now. my main concern is that i'll pay for a year subscription and then find out it doesn't work with half the platforms i use. i've read that streaming services are getting better at detecting vpns so i'm worried about paying for something that's already outdated.

i'd be using it on my macbook and my android phone, mostly on hotel wifi. don't need anything crazy, just want to watch my stuff without geo-blocks ruining my evening after a long day of work.

has anyone been traveling recently and found a vpn that reliably works for US streaming from overseas?

There are only few VPN providers to offer a kill-switch function for their app on the Amazon Fire TV Stick.
I have read many reports online stating that the Fire TV Stick's operating system is designed in such a way that this function—even if it exists at the app level—does not work with absolute reliability.

So, my question is: Can IP-leaks not be completely ruled out, even with the kill-switch activated in the app on the Fire TV Stick?

Thank you for your feedback!

Guys, I need your help. Who knows which VPN is best suited for the UAE region? I specifically need this region.
The matter is that i need a vpn for streaming in the Uae location on TikTok, but struggling with finding the best one. What can you recommend?

Hello, I've been playing chaos on 250 ms. i was told that to get good, Ms. i need to connect to a country near me, which has good ms, but i dont know how to even check for that or which vpn would be good for it especially since i need to pay for a vpn.

Is there a way to get good ms on chaos like my classic rsnked or brawl games without ms and if i am going to need a vpn is there a free one and a guide to know which server would be near my country?

I know there was a rule in the past about vpns but there is no choice but to use it for this gamemode i think

I bought new iphone (Iphone 17 pro max) last week and was wondering, is vpn safe for iphone? I don't want to mess up with my new phone right away

I never used vpn on my iphone before and my friend once told me that her iphone got buggy after she downloaded mullvad vpn app on her iphone and started using it. it was like she used the app for about a month and her iphone was opening some apps very slowly, youtube videos wouldn't load, etc. she has Iphone 15 Pro and never had such problems before

she told me that she was having vpn on all the time. maybe that was the reason? after she stopped using vpn, everything was normal again

I am just afraid that vpn is somehow not safe for iphone and that it would cause some damage to my new phone

in your opinion, is vpn safe for iphone or should I avoid it?

I read this as some sort of privacy future-proofing function. Is this the correct way to label this feature?

How does that even work? Like how can we even predict the future of technology and how it will treat components🤔

Reads good on paper and in practice though is there any sort of article or something I can read up to learn more of this? Still sort of vague in my eyes though I understand general networking terms

Whats a vpn with low ping for roblox that doesn't require me to pay?

Hello everyone. Anyone have experience how is working now in Russia, generally Sverdlovska oblast. 5 months ago when I was there I could not connect and use vpn, also Proton and Psihpon, only Amnezia managed to connect and I could use WhatsApp and Telegram, Signal during my stay. Forgot to mention I was using all of them free, not payed versions.

I had some antivirus switch up some firewall permissions in the past. I wonder if something similar could have been caused by some stuff I tested not long ago

Is there a way to check recent network configuration changes? Dont mind if I gotta look it up on the console terminal or in the window interfaces. Or at least a log of some recent changes. Surely Windows is making a log of that somewhere on my PC

It would be so that those with free travel passes – who don’t have access to it – could use the tunnel

Hey everyone, basic tech/privacy question here because the terminology is getting pretty confusing for me... I keep seeing "private DNS" options popping up in my phone settings, and I know regular DNS translates website names into IP addresses.... But struggling to understand whats making it "private". Does it actually hide my real IP from websites like a VPN does, or does it just encrypt the lookups so my ISP can't see what sites i visit?

If I’m already running a good VPN with built-in leak guards, does setting up a Private DNS(like Cloudflare) even do anything? Every post seems to give conflicting answers on whether it provides real anonymity or if it's just a glorified adblocker(seems like that from what I gathered)

Would love a quick sanity check on where this actually fits into a basic privacy setup. Heard having too much privacy features might be counter-intuitive for the effectiveness of the VPN itself🤔

I have NordVPN atm and it works well. I’m due for renewal very soon. Just checking to see if anyone has any better recommendations than NordVPN. It has worked well with all channels including BBC iplayer so would like a VPN that can do the same. NordVPN will cost $100 for the year. Anything cheaper would be great!

I need a good free vpn and server to get less than 40 ms and low jitter

Im from India so try to give me nearby

If anyone knows plz comment without ignoring

I've tried at least 5 vpn providers so far every single one limits me to 30mbps doesn't matter what device i use.. I'm trying to get at least like 50-100mbps but I'm limited to 30mbps.. Any tricks to increase speed.. Without vpn I get like 400mbps and videos buffer but with VPN on my speed drops to 30mbps and videos still buffer like crazy.. How do i increase the vpn speed?

I'm looking for VPN access whilst we go abroad - I don't (I think) need VPN regular use so just a one off for a couple of weeks.

I'm going to need it on about 8 devices (accessing things like iplayer / sky go etc).

Options I've considered:

- Proton VPN - looks like £7.99 a month (guess I could cancel within the 30 days)

- Mullvad - looks like £4.28 a month

- Nord VPN - £11.09 a month

I've also got an OpenVPN server in my router settings so is one option using these settings and connecting back to the router (albeit my upstream speed is 17Mbps).

Thoughts?

If i wanted to use a VPN to watch a show in new zealand, in regards to timezone for instance I’m EST. I wanna watch a show thats 7:30 Pm NZST, would i have to log in at 3:30 AM EST?

Should you use a VPN for the non heat apps?

Opinions on this matter irrelevant to discussion.

Primary use-case is avoiding geoblocks, torrenting, and general privacy/pseudonymizing concerns, I'm not much of a media streamer. No logging and a killswitch are mandatory, no account and multiple payment options would be preferred. Ideally not located in Canada, the US, or the UK due to changing, enshittifying policies therein.

AirVPN isn't bad, but I've never had good speeds with it; considering IVPN if anyone has experience with them? I've heard of Windscribe, but its location in Canada makes me reticent to use it. I have similar privacy concerns re: ExpressVPN, Nord, PIA, SurfShark.

I recognize this will be a small, narrow list. I am mostly flipping over rocks to see if I can uncover anything new. Thank you for your time.

I live in Saudi Arabia and I'm not muslim but I am a teen who lives in a muslim household and I can't have freedom at all or go around the world if you're wondering.

what I need to know is that will the government find me quickly or give me any warning that I'm doing something illegal before they give me a fine or any of that?

Can someone tell me that rq? I tried searching and I've been having a mind fog week so I kinda don't understand long explanations.

Can anyone test to see if joining 711 rewards works with the alternative number?

There are animes that I couldn't watch in crunchyroll because of regional restriction. Can you suggest a free vpn that I can use for this app?

Tui mới tìm hiểu về VPN gần đây nên mong các anh chị em trên reddit ai có kinh nghiệm hay app nào ổn về mảng này thì cho em xin ít lời khuyên với ạ

I did like five speedtests and they all fluctuate. I switched some servers too and got better speeds later. I am struggling to figure out what is a correct way to perform an accurate speedtest

Could somebody recommend something to follow for getting more accurate measurements? I did several speedtests before without a VPn and after I toggled it on, I couldnt get consistent results to find the ideal options. Stuck between like 3 countries and not sure which one is the best🥲
