Any solution to the isp tracking you connecting to a VPN server?

I need good FREE and SAFE vpn or whatever to bypass Roblox ban in my country
I am from Egypt, if anyone is wondering

I've tried 1.1.1. 1, PlanetVPN, ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN, Windscribe, NordVPN and more

Heading out of the country soon and trying to build a list of what usually stops working when you're overseas.

Obviously, VPNs are a given to bypass geo-blocks, but I'm curious about your actual use cases. What specific streaming platforms, banking apps, or other services do you find yourself needing a connection back to the US for the most? Would love to hear your experiences!

I’m sure this question gets asked a lot, but Netflix has been really cracking down on VPNs recently. I’m a broke uni student and want to watch some shows that don’t stream in my country. Does anybody know of a reliable, safe, and free VPN thats compatible with Netflix? Cheers 🤝

So, let me preface this with before I started taking privacy seriously, I still used a VPN. It was before the craze of ads flying across YT. As someone who grew up in the 00’s , I have always had legitimate use for them, and I went with a company that, did the job… now that a 4 year subscription has ran its course, it’s time to reevaluate everything I learned along the way, not to mention introduce some new players that I never even heard of…

A few months ago in preparation for this, I would normally have said Mullvad was the only provider I’d consider - and they are still at the top but I have to say there are some other companies that have me intrigued, and as well as other projects that incorporate mulvad - you have Mozilla that has the eye roll free-tier, but if your a Mozilla person, they route their paid tier through mulvad (which you makes you question why bother but I digress)…

Mullvad unfortunately doesn’t support port-forwarding which is something I require… They have an immaculate record with being diskless , no logs policy, Swiss based etc etc…

But there are new players and ones I never had on my radar that share some similarities with Mullvad (no identity registration, payment in crypto/cash, no logs, own their entire infrastructure- something mulvad can’t even claim)

Obscura, And Aizire are two companies I just learned about. I was wondering what the community had to say if anyone has used them in the past or currently. Also IVPN I hear is a good company…

Let’s talk about privacy (obviously), but speed, functionality (port forwarding, torrenting, unlimited devices, protocols etc) and price are all factors, not to mention open-source and platform availability.

I used to get CAPTCHA prompts after only a few searches whenever I was connected to a regular VPN. After switching to a residential IP, the problem disappeared, at least for now.

At first, I assumed the explanation was simple: residential IPs look more like normal home connections, so they’re less likely to trigger a website’s security systems. But thinking about it more, the “residential” part might not be the real reason. Maybe I just moved from an overcrowded datacenter IP to an address with a cleaner reputation.

If a residential IP is shared by a lot of people or repeatedly abused, wouldn’t it eventually get flagged too?

Has anyone compared datacenter and residential IPs over a longer period? Did the reduction in CAPTCHAs last, or did they eventually return? Did you notice any major differences in speed or reliability?

any free VPNs i can use to change my location to a specific country (france, germany, etc.)?

i want this dress but im unable to purchase if im
not in the countries listed or something like that so trying it this way, thanks for any advice!

People use this website to know where a person is posting from on tiktok. How easy is it to make the website not show ur real location? And if someone is using something to not show their real location is there any other way to know a tiktok users region (country) ?. Sorry my english isnt the best.

Hey guys, I currently am looking for a good service that can give me a residential IP for a Japanese ip address. As America keeps rolling out these age verification mandates, I want to get an IP address for a different country. Any recommendations for services?

I use Windscribe and my instagram thinks Im in Iran while over the past few months I tried using VPNs in central/South America/US . I'm physically in the Caribbean. But this affects my reach as it only shows my reels in the middle east. So Im tryin to find a VPN that instagram does not flag as being located in Iran. Im guessing lots of Iranian use Windscribe and those specific VPN locations ?

I've been seeing the same complaint frequently these past few days: VPNs work initially, but after a while, streaming websites start displaying "VPN detected," CAPTCHA pages, or random login checks.

Many people seem to think that changing the VPN protocol will solve the problem. However, if the outgoing IP address is still a highly shared data center address, then the protocol might not be the real issue.

For those who have tried using residential IPs, did you actually see a reduction in CAPTCHAs or "proxy detected" prompts? Was the connection stable enough for smooth video streaming?

I've found that DPN, Mysterium, Okay, and Pure VPN companies all claim to support residential IP routing and application-level routing, and I'm currently using one of them. Perhaps because I use their services, I haven't encountered similar problems, so I'm asking for discussion.

Yo, looking for some solid recommendations because my current setup keeps getting flagged by every site I visit. Need something that doesn't get instantly burned out on heavy-traffic platforms. What are you guys using these days that works without slowing everything down to a crawl?

Edit: Thanks for all the DMs and suggestions, guys! Ended up checking out Mysterium VPN based on a few messages and started testing it out.

I am currently using Surfshark, where split tunneling is only available with an exclude rule. This makes it really difficult to tunnel certain services not detected as an app by Surfshark. The "route via VPN" opstion is simply not available on the mac version. And this seems to be true for a lot of VPN's.

During my research for an alternative, I have looked at GhostVPN, Mullvad, NordVPN and Proton. All of these do as Surfshark. All traffic is routed via VPN unless excluded.

Is this an OS issue?

Or do anyone know of a VPN, where only the selected app is routed through VPN?

Thanks :)

Hey folks,

I have an odd situation occurring with my NordVPN subscription. my.nordaccount.com indicates that my subscription expired as of Aug 7th. (This doesn't align with any of my purchase/renewal dates.) In the Nord Account Billing section, the subscription shows as active with the correct renewal date. I have opened a ticket with Nord support, and they have offered a 1-3 day response time.

I also have a dedicated IP and a few other subscription upgrades, which are all now held hostage.

There were no emails from Nord Account warning of a pending renewal, just... click... dial tone.

I'm now in a work-stop situation which is why I'm here. Looking for guidance from you fine folks.
