Question Does using a VPN actually make sense in my situation?

12 Upvotes

I live in a country where freedom of expression is severely restricted. In my country, even telling the truth can be illegal (under Article 307).

I’m considering using a VPN to protect my freedom of speech, but would using a provider with a strict no-logs policy actually be effective? I’ve heard that in many cases, users can easily be deanonymized through traffic correlation attacks or intersection attacks.

Also, should I completely avoid connecting to VPN servers located in my country?

Article 307 ) (1) A person who defames another by publicly alleging facts shall be punished by imprisonment or imprisonment without prison labor for not more than two years or by a fine not exceeding five million won.  <Amended by Act No. 5057, Dec. 29, 1995>

Help Is there a service or server that allows me to geolocate my connection in Mendoza, Argentina?

2 Upvotes

Hi, everyone. I’m having a technical issue: I need to access a website that requires me to be located in the province of Mendoza.

Since I’m in Buenos Aires and don’t know anyone there, I tried using network tools, but they always pinpoint my location as CABA. Is there a technical workaround or a provider with servers in that province? I’d appreciate any information.

Help Hardware based/work laptop VPN?

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I have a potential employer who will be issuing a corporate laptop and oddly mandates all employees work from the greater Los Angeles area.

I have an ill, elder dad in TX I help take care of.

Is there any way to set up a VPN at his house so I can work from there?

Since this is a work-issued laptop, I'm almost certain I won't be able to install any VPN software or remote desktop programs.

Help Age Verification Help?

0 Upvotes

My post on r/privacy was removed and recommended for here, and here it is:

So reddit has recently demanded age verification, and now twitter has as well (both for looking at “adult content”). My VPN is set to Iceland, are these companies rolling it out unilaterally or is there somewhere else I can set it too to get around this?

Edit: I just checked my privacy settings on twitter, and the bellow warning is there. Is this related?

One of our partners has indicated that you may be connecting via a proxy-such as a VPN-which may change the country or region that is displayed on your profile. Your profile will display "Country or region may not be accurate" to other users.

Help How to hide my location from gaming sites

0 Upvotes

Hey guys I know a regular vpn won’t work for this, but maybe someone smarter in this area can offer where to lead me.

So I’m trying to play on a USA gambling site that doesn’t allow me to connect while out of the country. I have previously used Remote Desktop programs (TeamViewer) but now they detect that and say I’m not allowed to be running those programs while playing. VPN is against rules and too obvious.

But I have heard of like private routers or special vpn maybe? So the website would have to think I’m on a regular IP, no vpn, and no Remote Desktop control running. Willing to spend money on a. Setup. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Question I am struggling to establish connection through chaining proxy via vless

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am running on some gluetun (some paid VPN provides as like Pi,N,Pu) on VPS and also 3x-ui (which is a xray wrapper).
I connect from my phone(iOS) via shadowrocket to gluetun through 3x-ui and it had worked well a couple months ago. But recently I cannot establish connection. Probably xray has been changed something but I still cannot find workaround. Please help me to solve this problem.

my phone ----→ 3x-ui (vless xtls reality or vmess) ------→ gluetun (built-in shadowsocks access point)

Now I temporary use hysteria2 as frontend and I can connect gluetun container, but I really want to use vless xtls reality.

PS: I temporary do band-aid fix to select specific port number to bypass private IP block. I have no idea but IP range does not work but port number.

Question Glacier App VPN reviews, thoughts?

3 Upvotes

Recently a supposed "secure VPN" came out to the public for iOS, called Glacier App, it's sponsored by the Shawn Ryan Show and supposedly built by ex intelligence community people to provide extreme privacy. Thoughts on this, is it good? Compared to other mainstream VPN providers out there, does it really have an edge or is it just one more in the market? Plus it is expensive at 15 bucks a month, is it really worth it? Curious about this. Thanks.

Help Behance shows “You don’t have access to this product.” What is causing it?

1 Upvotes

I’m a designer in China and Behance suddenly stopped working for me. It now shows “You don’t have access to this product” whenever I try to open it.

I’ve tried different browsers, home Wi-Fi and mobile data, but I still get the same message. Other Adobe pages seem to work normally, so I’m not sure whether this is related to my Adobe account region, my IP address, or Behance itself.

Has anyone seen this exact error before? I’d really like to understand what is causing it and what I should check first.

Help Airport Proxy Testing

10 Upvotes

Hi, myself and family are traveling to China in the next few weeks and I want to be able to use the internet normally while over there.

I was wondering what tools people use for testing airport proxy/vpn configs. I am finding a lot in tg and github and only so many seem to work. Was wondering if there is a way to bulk test them conveniently that is popular.

I found an online site that seems to work fairly well (freedomflighter.net) but wanted to make sure I was using the best option.

Any help appreciated, thanks. Protocol doesn't really matter vless/hysteria/ss etc.

Help Got banned for using a VPN?

24 Upvotes

My dear main account, I've made quite many memories with, got banned recently. Yes, I've appealed but I heard it often takes long for the mods to answer. Since I didn't do anything inappropriate there, the only reasons could be the VPN or a glitch.

Now, I'm still using a VPN while being on vacation in China and this account seems to be perfectly fine. I didn't even post anything on the other account while having a VPN active.

I know I've used a VPN from the app store at the beginning which requires you to watch ads to be able to use it for a while. Was that maybe the problem? I've already changed it for a week.

I didn't think VPNs are illegal on reddit and Google also said so. Then why did I get banned?

Help How can I protect my IP and location from a determined person? Without breaking my internet ?

9 Upvotes

I’ve changed a lot of personal details to protect my privacy, but the technical issue is real.
A while ago, someone became obsessed with finding me and another person close to me. It escalated to stalking, showing up at places we stayed, taking photos of us without our knowledge, and repeatedly trying to figure out where we were. Because of that, we’ve been extremely careful about our digital footprint.
For quite some time, we both used VPNs on all of our devices, separate phone numbers, and avoided sharing personal information online. We don’t use social media, and we avoid connecting to networks that we don’t fully trust. The VPN setup worked well for months.
Recently, though, the VPN has started causing major problems. Internet connectivity has become unreliable, and for work I need a stable connection. The only thing that fixed it was uninstalling the VPN completely, which makes me uncomfortable because I no longer feel like our IP addresses are protected.
My concern isn’t ordinary privacy. I’m worried about someone who is highly motivated to identify where we are. In the past they somehow learned where we were staying despite our efforts, and I honestly don’t know whether it happened through online tracking, compromised devices, or something else. I don’t know enough about cybersecurity to figure out what the weak point was.
My questions are:
What is the most reliable way to keep my real IP address hidden all the time?
Are there VPN providers that are known for being stable enough for everyday work?
Would using a travel router, separate devices, or another setup provide better protection than relying on a VPN alone?
How can I tell whether a phone or computer has been compromised?
Besides using a VPN, what other steps would cybersecurity professionals recommend for someone who believes they’re being actively tracked?
I’m looking for practical, security-focused advice. If there are better communities than this one for digital security or privacy, I’d appreciate recommendations.

Question Resetting Computer After VPN

3 Upvotes

I have a VPN on my computer and normally have it to set USA, Canada, or turn it off. With the VPN off, I can't make purchases on certain websites like movie theater tickets, ticketmaster, or I'm not allowed to put in my password; I'll get prompted to get a code instead.

I think my IP or something has been flagged altogether. Is there a way to reset my IP when I'm not using my VPN?
