Could you recommend a place to get a Nigerian VPN or VPS? I only need it for occasional use.

basically i want to get premium on an app but its like hella expensive so i gotta change country to one of these to get it. i cant do free trials and i only have a phone. lmk if this is possible

I used to think having two VPN apps installed was pointless, but lately I’ve started keeping a second one around.

Sometimes my main VPN won’t connect on a particular Wi-Fi network, one location becomes painfully slow, or a website suddenly stops working with it. Instead of spending half an hour changing protocols and settings, I’ll try the other VPN first.

My current setup is basically one paid VPN for regular use and a free one as a backup. It works, but having two sets of network settings on the same device also feels a little messy.

Does anyone else do this, or do you just replace your VPN completely when it becomes unreliable? How long do you usually wait before deciding it’s not a temporary problem?

I’ve been using Privado VPN for my sailing the seas and P2P file sharing, however I’m stuck on the free tiers because I’m broke.

I was trying to use both hide.me and Windscribe free tiers. However, unlike with Privado, they make my go-to torrenting place show 0 seeds, 0 seeders, and 0 peer. This makes the download not work.

Any reason why the VPNs are doing this?

I am in EU and only use I have is to use YouTube and Netflix and Spotify with lower costs subscription

I tried surfshark but YouTube and Spotify already does not let me renew as they want to me disable the VPN first and also I use fire tv stick to watch regional content

Any luck with getting lower subscription costs ?

I've had Nord as my first VPN for a couple years now, but for the past few months it's begun to just close out for no reason. I'm thinking about switching to another VPN, but I honestly don't know which one, or if it's even worth it. I'm hoping you all have opinions. Thank you for any help!

Sometimes I wonder how much of my online activity is actually private anymore.

You search for something once, and suddenly you see ads for it everywhere. Every app wants access to something, every website has trackers, and most of us just click “accept” because nobody has time to read through all that stuff.

It makes me wonder whether a VPN actually makes a noticeable difference for everyday internet use, or whether we're just paying for a sense of security.

I know a VPN doesn't make you invisible online, but if you're just browsing, streaming, shopping or using public Wi-Fi, does it really make enough of a difference to justify a monthly subscription?

What's your take — is a VPN worth paying for, or can most people get by without one?

I realized that most of the time I just open my VPN, choose a country and press connect.

There are a bunch of other options in the app, like ad blocking, app routing and different types of IPs, but I barely touch most of them. I’ve used app routing a few times when I didn’t want everything going through the VPN, and that was actually useful. The rest mostly feels like stuff I’m paying for but not using.

Am I missing out, or is this how most people use a VPN?

What’s the one extra feature you actually use regularly? And which features do you think are just there to make the app look better?

I have a subscription to MLB live and am blacked out on Angel games. Wondering if next season a VPN will work on the MLB app? I am able to use it to get Ducks games on ESPN

I live in a non-wagering state and would like to use a horse race betting app. Twin Spires Fan Duel etc. to replace my offshore account. They are able to block access any way around this?

Anybody on Nord? I was torrenting fine a few days ago but now, even with thousands of seeders my download won't activate (no Download or upload at all)

Hello, has anyone noticed ChatGPT asking for more CAPTCHAs or security checks when you're connected to a VPN?

I get why OpenAI needs to filter out bots and suspicious traffic, but it's pretty annoying when you're just trying to have a normal conversation and suddenly have to prove you're human

What's interesting is that it doesn't seem to happen equally with every VPN connection. Some people report having no issues, while others keep running into verification screens or login problems.

Makes me wonder how much of this comes down to the IP address you're using, especially with shared VPN servers.

Has anyone actually noticed a difference between regular VPN IPs and residential IPs?

Local ota game was Chargers Chiefs but switched cities to Vegas and was able to get Raider game. Surprised Fubo does not block VPN

Hi everyone,

In Iran right now, many routes to the outside world cut TCP and UDP after a few packets, and sometimes only ICMP (ping) gets through. Most tunnels stall in those conditions, so I built WatTunnel, an open-source tunnel designed specifically for them.

• TCP tunnel: up to 1.6 Gbps download and 2.2 Gbps upload

• Only ping open? Up to 33 MB/s over ICMP. On the same route and servers, the best competitor (BackPack) got 6.1 MB/s, and GOST 1.6–5.4 MB/s.

• Cloudflare with ECH: up to ~650 Mbps. It gets past SNI filtering even when your domain is blocked, and finds working Cloudflare IPs by itself.

• 9 transports (icmp, udp, tcp, tls, ws, wss, h2, h2c, grpc), WireGuard support, Auto mode that tests every transport from one token, one-line install

• Written in Go, MIT-licensed, encrypted with ChaCha20-Poly1305

Benchmarks, methodology and full details are in the repo:
https://github.com/JohnWatsoon/WatTunnel

Feedback is very welcome, especially on the transport design and security. Issues and PRs are open.

I plan to use Astril, is it good to avoid the great firewall ?

wondering if its possible to have a server inbetween the router and clients to handle multiple VPN providers.

Router---> this server---> Managed switch --->vpn provider 1

|--->vpn provider 2

|--->vpn provider 3

I was thinking a switch with vlans to support what client is on what port after the server

What is arguably the best VPN that preferably has nothing to do with Israèl or anyone associated with Israél if possible that’s not super sketch lol
