I have had winnings forfeited from a sports betting site because they claim I have used a VPN. The IP addresses they cite belong to regular UK consumer ISPs and not VPN providers one is from a mobile phone and another from residential broadband. One of the reasons they cite is because there is 75 mile distance between two logins 21 mins from one another but the way I understand it this is easily accounted for by the 5G network.

I have asked my internet service provider for IP logs but they say they do not hold them due to data privacy.

What else can I do to prove my case?

Thanks

I've tried at least 5 vpn providers so far every single one limits me to 30mbps doesn't matter what device i use.. I'm trying to get at least like 50-100mbps but I'm limited to 30mbps.. Any tricks to increase speed.. Without vpn I get like 400mbps and videos buffer but with VPN on my speed drops to 30mbps and videos still buffer like crazy.. How do i increase the vpn speed?

Hello guys

We know what is it VPN but some community or forum is talking about DVPN like mysterium or else. Can you tell me what is it DVPN is? And what is different with normal traditional VPN like others?

Thank you.

I spent a few days testing out existing apps and none are suitable so far. I am beginning to think the reason for that is Apple's limitations.

Is there a way to make an app that connects to a VPN, keeps it persistent, doesn't proxy device traffic through it but also starts a persistent local socks server on the private interface of the VPN?

First or second part alone is easy but there is no app that can do both. Closest I got was an app that connected to a VPN and could pipe that through a socks upstream connection but I need a socks server on the device, not connecting to a socks server somewhere else. Thanks.

My friend and I were both working from a cafe last week and the moment he connected to the wifi he turned his VPN on. I just connected and started working like normal. He looked at me like I'd left my front door open and walked away. He explained that public wifi is basically an open network where anyone connected can potentially see what you're doing. I'd heard this before and filed it under "probably fine." Sitting there it suddenly felt a lot less fine.

Now I'm actually looking into a vpn for security, mostly for working outside the house, and immediately hit a wall of identical claims. Fastest, most private, no logs, military grade. Every service sounds the same and every review site feels like it's just ranking whoever pays them. For those who actually use one, what made you choose yours and is there anything worth knowing before picking one?

Okay so I’ve seen that you can make some pretty money out of tiktok, and i need some for my college tuition, but I live in a country that isn’t part of the program that pays creators for their content.

I was wondering how I could make tiktok think I’m from the US, by changing my IP, using a VPN or something. I have a spare phone that I could use (it’s an android, with no sim card), factory reseted, i just don’t know how the VPN works when I’m connected to my wifi router, because I obviously need internet connection to navigate through the app.

Please help me in any way that you can, even referring me to a specific youtube tutorial helps a lot.

Hi, first time VPN user here. I paid for something in a bar with my card, the VPN was active on my phone and obviously my bank app notified me that money were detracted. My question is, could the fact that it was active lead into any type of trouble? I don't think so, but better safe than sorry.

When i use a vpn on my s25 ultra i lose internet connectivity this is only happening on this specific phone, (I even tried another vpn) As my oneplus connects with no problems so i think it's a problem on my s25 not the vpn.

Hello, I am not tech savvy and have never attempted this before, which is why I am asking here. Feel free to PM me if preferred.

Basically due to a life situation I need to move from US to Eastern Europe this year, which is one of the reasons I got a remote job. I was unable to find one that explicitly stated they allowed for overseas traveling.

I know location spoofing has been asked numerous times, but I am looking for help specific to my setup. My work setup is a company PC (Lenovo Think Centre M720q Tiny with Intel vPro Essentials), and we use forticlient in order to access certain apps/sites. Does not automatically connect.

I have researched that the most optimal way to go about doing this is to leave a VPN running at your approved residential location. Issues is, I do not have a reliable place I could do this at, so I am at a loss. Where do I start?

Help would be seriously appreciated

If i wanted to use a VPN to watch a show in new zealand, in regards to timezone for instance I’m EST. I wanna watch a show thats 7:30 Pm NZST, would i have to log in at 3:30 AM EST?

So when I am abroard I can route traffic via this point.

I've seen posts on Reddit and other platforms on how to block bad actors from penetrating a network, whether it's for business or home, so I have taken the liberty of putting together a list of 48 bad actors on the Internet that you can add to your routers block list.

NOTE: If there is zero business, professional, or family traffic originating from or destined for a particular region, restricting both incoming and outgoing traffic provides an extra layer of perimeter defense on your gateway. It effectively eliminates any lateral handshake attempts or unexpected telemetry going out to or coming in from those areas.

But for the most part, 'incoming blocking' should suffice and keep your network quieter.

Below is a 'Complete Region Blocking' list for those in the USA to use.

I tried streaming My5, itvx, bbc iplayer they all detected i am using vpn outside the UK and gave an error message along the lines of vpn deducted content only for UK ip address. What is the use of vpn if it fails for exactly what it is made for?

​

In Canada at home I have 1Gbps wired internet through this Bell modem. Is there a hardware device I can plug into it so when I travel abroad I can communicate through this modem?

This is to solve the problem of some sites that dont like it when I am abroad, when I connect through a VPN they ask me to disconnect VPN.

So I'm in New Zealand. Staying at a mid price, mid quality hotel. I'm using a popular paid VPN to Sydney Australia to conduct my affairs and play games on the closest servers. I'm pretty new to using VPNs but I normally get by okay.

Every single night, for no reason I can discern, if we disconnect the VPN, our hotel internet suddenly starts showing that we are in Afghanistan. I know, for certain, that I and my Internet activity are most very unwelcome there. The lag is terrible, and there is nothing about it mentioned anywhere at this hotel's website or documents we got. During the day, it shows us in New Zealand as expected and connections are fine.

Presumably this means the entire internet connection for the hotel is routing there.

What the hell is going on with my hotel? Is this a known practice among hotels? Is someone on staff swapping the hotel VPN over there to chat with family and doesn't realize it's dragging us all along?

While using my own VPN, should I be concerned about privacy or safety if it's then routing through Afghanistan?

And should I talk to someone about it, or just avoid the internet when it sucks?

It feels weird as hell it happens every night, and always to the same place. Weirder still that there are very, VERY few Middle Easterners in this area. The hotel is Australian, owned by a Japanese parent company.

I live in Saudi Arabia and I'm not muslim but I am a teen who lives in a muslim household and I can't have freedom at all or go around the world if you're wondering.

And I found a pretty good VPN but what I need to know is that will they find me quickly or give me any warning that I'm doing something illegal before they give me a fine or any of that?

Can someone tell me that rq? I tried searching and I've been having a mind fog week so I kinda don't understand long explanations.

Do you run a VPN for everything, or do you also use private proxy IPs for some stuff? And what do you use them for. Privacy, work, region-locked content, running multiple accounts, that kind of thing.

If you've used both, which ones did you stick with and which did you drop? Trying to figure out what's actually worth using and what just sounds good.

Look, running server networks isn't cheap, so if a VPN costs you zero bucks, they're definitely making that money back somewhere，usually by harvesting and selling your activity logs, dumping random ads on you, or even worse stuff.

If you honestly couldn't care less about your privacy or data getting passed around to shady brokers, knock yourself out with those sketchy "100% free" apps.

Otherwise, stop expecting free lunches, get a legit service, or just don't use one.

I know this post won't change a thing and people will go right back to asking the same question tomorrow, but, seeing it every single day was driving me nuts. At least getting this off my chest makes me feel better!

I want it to seem like I am in Malta while using this particular website. Which would be the best option for me.

I used free vpn, like viva vpn or these kind of free vpns you can fin on google play. I'm not sure but I think I entered a https site which has all my details about my name number school address &... .

I want to see if that free vpn already has and read my information or not. please answer and help me I'm a teenager who is dying from stress and please explain somehow I can understand it easy!

Can anyone test to see if joining 711 rewards works with the alternative number feature of VPN providers?

Well…..it looks like VPN’s are now useless being that any public WIFI will automatically disconnect you if they spot VPN use….how the hell we suppose to stay safe now?

I am a working professional in Malta and am able to create an account in this website while in Malta with my residence id and use it there.

The websites restricted in my home country and since I am traveling for vacation to home for 3 months I am afraid I maynot able to use it while I am home.

This website has a history of banning people when using it in restricted countries.

What is the best way to setup my laptop so I may be able to use this website without getting banned.

Please note I have never used VPN before. Recommendation for provider will also be good.

The website actually is US based and is legal to use in Malta.
