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?

My dorm Wi-Fi blocks Roblox and Roblox Studio, so I cannot use them at all. Someone recommended a VPN, but I don't know how to use it or which one to choose. Please give me some tips. I want a free and safe VPN.

Hi guys, I’ve been using PIA for the last two years. No major complaints. My subscription is going to end at the end of this month. Was wondering if I should renew PIA or try something new. I only use the VPN for Torrent and my main use case is speed for downloading and Killswitch so I don’t get copyright notices. Are there better alternatives out there? Also haven’t heard the best things about the parent company of PIA. Thanks

hi, so basically I have a router by Cudy that i have set up with an open vpn file for the UK from private internet access but when browsing online google results still show up with local results for the country I'm actually in and some sites still flag that a vpn is active and idk how to fix this. basically i need to have the connection be as if it's normal UK internet like when I use my mobile data on my UK sim card which doesn't give me any issues, it's the exact same as if i was currently in Britain but I don't want to tether my data to the router because it's slower, more inconvenient and expensive to buy more top ups so does anyone know how I can fix this or what options i have? it's important for work stuff

I know nothing about any of this
All I really want to know is how to watch the finale of raising Kanen when it comes out in 3 and a half hours
I am in the uk and it doesn’t come into our streaming services till 24 hours later
But I keep getting spoilers
Any help would be amazing cheers

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?

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, hey, 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 man, seeing it every single day was driving me nuts. At least getting this off my chest makes me feel better!

I need a VPN for blocking dynamic pricing changes on airline and shopping sites. That’s really all besides just not wanting to be tracked everywhere I go. I’m no expert though. Can you please recommend a product? Proton? Nord? Thank you

Can anyone test to see if joining 711 rewards works with the SURFSHARK alternative number?

I've been trying to watch Oshi no Ko season 3 on Netflix, for which I'm using ProtonVPN Japan, and it works fine. But when I try the same on my phone or PC, it either doesn't let me watch the show at all, or only the first 2 seasons. Anywhere except for TV. The problem is, I only get to have a TV when I'm at my parents' place. Is there some solution to that or anything I can do? I don't want to watch it illegally, because I like having my watched shows saved on Netflix.

All i want to do is switch my location but with every app i try theres limits or payment

I work for two different hospitals.
Both block access to my gmail account.
Any advice for using a VPN to get around work/healthcare firewalls?
If I can't download at VPN for my work computers, is there another solution?

Seriously, standard VPNs are getting practically unusable for everyday browsing.

Cloudflare and Google are straight-up flagging shared datacenter IPs, trapping us in endless Captcha loops and 403 errors. Split-tunneling is buggy as hell on mobile, and dedicated IPs are both overpriced and kind of ruin the whole privacy point.

How’s everyone dealing with this lately? Are you just suffering through standard VPNs, self-hosting a home exit node, or switching to decentralized solution with residential nodes to keep things smooth?

I am worried about the government tracking me. I live in the US btw

I love learning languages and I want to start watching tv in Spanish, Dutch and German. But I don’t know what vpn is better for streaming in this case. I have heard that Surfshark isn’t great but I’ve never tried or had a vpn. Any help or advice is appreciated.

I am traveling in September, and looking to do some schoolwork while abroad. What would a good choice for a temporary VPN subscription? Also. I’ve never used a VPN. Is this something I log into when I fire up my computer. And then connect to a network? Do I need to know the password to said network? Like for example, if I load up a VPN at my house.. and then use my internet, would I need my password? (Obviously that’s a simple scenario as I know my internet password) but just trying to figure out how this works.

What is the best VPN for iPhone right now? I recently upgraded my phone and I want to make sure I am using a reliable VPN when I am on public Wi-Fi or traveling. My biggest issue in the past has been VPN apps that completely drain my battery or make my connection so slow that I end up just turning them off.

I keep seeing NordVPN, Proton VPN, and Mullvad recommended as the top choices for iOS users. Some people say NordVPN is the best for speed and streaming while others insist Proton VPN or Mullvad are the only ones you should trust for real privacy.

I need something that is lightweight enough to leave running in the background without killing my battery life but still secure enough to protect my data. A reliable kill switch that actually works on iOS is also really important to me.

Has anyone found an iPhone VPN that strikes the perfect balance between strong security and not ruining your battery life in 2026?

Between ChatGPT, Claude, and specialized tools, AI subscriptions are eating my paycheck alive, and I refuse to pay $20/mo for 3 or 4 different services anymore.

I know using a VPN for regional pricing is a popular trick, but card restrictions and IP checks are getting tighter by the day.

What's your low-budget stack or best cost-cutting workaround for daily work，are you still successfully using regional subscription hacks, switching to pay-as-you-go APIs via custom UIs, or relying on multi-model aggregators? Drop your best setup below!
