I mostly use the Internet the basic way; reddit, youtube, streaming shows, online shopping and torrent. I was wondering if there’s any upside or benefits to using a VPN here.
If you’re afraid of the ISP stealing ur info and if you wanna watch netflix from other countries then you’ll need one
For one, VPN enables you to access geolocked content on streaming apps.
Do be mindful that not all VPN providers are created equal - in terms of logs they keep, effectiveness in masking your location and speed. I have used a bunch of then over the years and currently find expressvpn as the best fit for me, followed by astrill and nordvpn.
yeah pornhub is blocked in sg
VPN is only useful when you need to access restricted content… it also does not mask or makes you anonymous.
Like when you’re in China and you want to access facebook, then you’ll need a vpn to tunnel your connection to an unrestricted network, or when you’re working from home and need to access your officer network files, then your company should setup and provide you with VPN access, and for some organization, they will block access to internet.
I need it for work to access servers.
I’m from Indonesia and VPN is essential for me to watch badminton matches.
i like the idea of VPN but im kinda afraid that it’ll throttle my speeds and make my already slow internet even slower.
One money-saving tip I learnt is to VPN to India, then sign up for YouTube Premium for like $2/mth or something ridiculously cheap.
Only if you need to access Pornhub and other banned sites. Otherwise its slow af
YES! Specially when you wants to watch things that are blocked!
Yes. I have not caught for torrenting
Yeah. I tried that with Amazon Prime Video and got a ton more content with a US server.
Then just make your own VPN server instead?
As mentioned you don’t know if those VPN services really claim that they keep logs.
I in fact believe they do. How else are they gonna troubleshoot if needed?
Most use Google dns such things and not vpn
just change www. to another country code
Small tip. Just use Google or cloudflare DNS. No need VPN.
Boba fett: im on it guys.
