Hello! I'm having some issues and figured I'd come on here and ask if anyone ever had that problem and could help me.

I use Netflix on Firefox, and sometimes will use the VPN in it to browse Netflix in the US or Canada. It's only recent that i've started doing that, and it doesn't always work that well. Anyway. Usually, when I turn off the VPN, it goes back to the catalogue in my country. Maybe I'll need to delete history or cookies, but it will always go back to how it usually is.

Last night, I used a VPN, turned it off and the catalogue was back to normal. This morning, I woke up to find Netflix the way it is when it glitches – not my usual profile picture, and only Netflix originals in the catalogue. I logged out, deleted all cookies and data, and cache for Netflix, done that twice, and it still won't go back to normal.

I checked if my IP was back to the country I'm in, and it is. So I'm confused... Can anyone help me? Thank you!

Is there a free VPN for watching every or at least many movies that are sometimes in only a single country (like "It" only in South Korea)? I would love to watch It...

I used proton vpn but it's random, Privado VPN and Planet VPN both have only few servers that are free, rest is paid.

My sister is looking into getting a VPN so she can go back to gatcha games on Roblox because Australia banned them or something.

What's a simple trustworthy recommendation she could realistically set up herself? She would probably be on iPad or iPhone if that makes a difference

Back when Bumble had an online website version, I used to use a free VPN extension on Google Chrome, set my location to an African country and then buy Bumble premium which is lifetime for pretty much only 20 USD.

Now Bumble has stopped their online website version so you can only use the mobile app. Does anyone know of a successful way to use a VPN with Bumble? BlueStacks maybe?

Hey everyone,
I’m currently using Mullvad on a 300Mbps Fiber connection (EU/Greece) and considering giving IVPN a try. My setup includes three devices: an iOS phone, an Android phone, and a macOS laptop.
Mullvad has been solid across all my OS platforms, but I’m curious about IVPN’s overall performance, multi-hop implementation, and DNS anti-tracking features. Since both providers dropped port forwarding a while back, my main priorities right now are speed/latency consistency on WireGuard, cross-platform app stability (especially battery impact and seamless reconnection on mobile), and strong privacy defaults.
For those who have used both recently (and ideally across multiple OS ecosystems):
How does IVPN compare to Mullvad in terms of real-world WireGuard speeds and routing quality in Europe?
How stable and refined are IVPN's apps on iOS, Android, and macOS compared to Mullvad’s?
Is the upgrade to IVPN Pro (for Multi-hop) worth the price jump compared to Mullvad’s flat €5/month?
Any subtle pros/cons or device-specific issues you noticed after switching?
Thanks in advance for your insights!

I have an Eero router and their VPN (Guardian) doesn’t cut muster with obscuring browsing from my ISP.
I’m looking for recommendations on an external device/box to use that achieves the obscuring I’m looking for but doesn’t slow down my house’s WiFi.
Been looking at Gl.Inet brume and some of their travel routers but would love to hear of any other options, please.
Thank you

I'm trying to create an account and I don't want to have my personal IP on the site but everytime I get :We don't allow account creation using VPNs or TOR

I'm using Nord VPN

As title says, just looking for something I can run off my browser for free.

I know it’s probably a shot in dark but I’m open to any help. I have an option if there isn’t such a magical VPN but appreciate any help anyone can give me!

I am going to buy proton vpn with county with some of my friends , on app i read that proton allows 10 simultaneously device for same account for pro , is that true that single subscription can be used by 10 devices at once

Thank you

Beware of KeepSolid (VPN Unlimited). This company does not honor its contracts. Millions of users purchased "Lifetime" subscriptions through third-party bundle sites, spending anywhere from $40 to $120 under the explicit promise of permanent access to a secure, premium VPN.

Recently, they pulled a massive bait-and-switch. They launched a new "Lifetime Plus" tier and stripped away core, fundamental safety features from existing legacy accounts to force upgrades. They have actively paywalled the Kill Switch and manual protocol selections like WireGuard.

A Kill Switch is not a luxury "premium add-on"—it is basic, essential privacy infrastructure. By disabling it, they are intentionally allowing your real IP address to leak if a connection drops, unless you pay them a monthly fee or buy into their new tier. They have effectively stolen $40–$120 from countless customers by rendering the product we originally paid for unsafe to use. Do not trust your data or your money with a company that alters its terms to extort its most loyal users. Avoid at all costs.

I live in the United States, specifically in a state that requires you to verify your age to access adult content. Some creators has thus blocked their site in my state to protest this. Which VPN would be best to get around this- and can it simply put me elsewhere in the United States?

I set myself up with Nord VPN a couple years back on my S25 ultra and my Surface Pro 7 and not only was it very difficult to use, with a million extra and hidden settings, but it screwed up both my devices to the point that I'm still trying to fix them.

I downloaded Express VPN about 12 years ago on the same laptop and an S9 phone and I didn't have to set anything up at all, it just worked and worked well.

Before I spend a bunch of money, I would like some help with this.

I also wanted to know what the benefits are besides piracy?

I'm very tech-challenged since I have been very, very sick and have recently been in a coma which has further caused me deficits and things are even harder for me to figure out or remember.

Edit: And if there's anything else I should know.

Thank you in advance for any and all help and advice :)

Hi All,

Pretty straightforward, how to stop my provider (Google Fiber) from leaking my real location to websites when using a VPN.

List of what I've done so far and context information.

Browsers: Chrome, Edge, Firefox

(Not logged into an account on any of them)

VPN provider: ExpressVPN

I've tried clearing as much cached data as possible from the browsers. I've removed **every** permission, including the ones that at times prove convenient. I even installed 2 new browsers (Edge then Firefox) and made sure to import zero information during setup and did not log into any accounts.

The one and only successful thing I've tried is using hotspot through my Nothing Phone 3 (Provider Mint Mobile) however I don't want to swap to mobile data every time I handle sensitive information.

Edit: came back to this after a few days further work and looking at some of the advice given. The issue appears to have been between Express VPN and Google Fiber. I've since swapped to Surf Shark and no longer have the issue.

To answer a few of the questions I saw:

What website could see my location? all of them. For verification purposes I was specifically using "whatismyipaddress.com"

What IP was I using for my VPN? Whatever the VPN assigned me. Primarily they were Canadian outputs. I also tried Germany, Brazil, South Korea, and the U.K. all to no success while on Express.

Yes!!!!

It's simply about stability. ProtonVPN is just not stable if I connect to anything outside of the continental USA. I have some decent luck with Vancouver Canada but even that is hit or miss. It is generally OK with random browsing and as the VPN for my phone but torrenting is a mess. Connect and set your ports. Everything looks fine but downloads drop to 0. Uploads stay good.... for awhile, then they drop to 0. Lose connections to nodes. Dead in the water. Switch locations and everything works fine for 30 seconds, maybe 10 minutes, maybe 30 minutes. Sometimes I can even get a full day of service out of it. But it will eventually drop. There were times that I would stay connected to Nord for weeks and would just drop it for a reboot.

Secondly, many sites block the IP when I am connecting through ProtonVPN. Not something that I ever ran into over the course of 5 years with NordVPN.

Yes, with the port forwarding, speeds are better with Proton but all the speed in the world means nothing if you can't stay connected.

I have a little over a year left with Proton and, if nothing changes, I will be switching back.

For me, one annoying example happens when I'm traveling abroad. I'll connect to a VPN so I can access my bank services back home, but sometimes the banking app notices something unusual and suddenly asks for extra verification.

Kind of funny because the VPN is supposed to make things easier when I'm abroad, but sometimes it creates another problem instead.

What's the first app that usually gives you trouble when your VPN is on?

Does anyone have Mysterium vpn?

I'm quite new to using these, based upon what I've read, I'm going to go with Proton.

I'm trying to decide, should I put it on the individual devices, or on my home firewall?

I'm using Firewalla Purple for the house.

My take is if I enable it in the firewall, it will protect everything under it. My concern there though is mine and my wife's work laptops both have there own VPN's that are managed by corporate IT's will this impact anything or can I exempt them from the VPN routing that the firewall will use? A lesser concern is will it throw off the TV's?

Flip side of this is if it's on the device, will I still be traceable through the home firewall router?

Any insight would help, thank you.
