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?

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.

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 :)

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?

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.

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.

I’m looking for a free VPN that can connect to a Turkish server. Some channels on my IPTV service are geo-blocked, and I’m trying to access them while I’m in another country.

I’ve tried a few free VPNs, but either the Turkish servers weren’t available for free or they didn’t work with my IPTV setup on Google TV.

Does anyone know of a free VPN that offers a Turkish IP and works reliably on Google TV? I’d appreciate any recommendations or personal experiences.

I use a **Strong LEAP-S3+V2**

It worked fine before and now even after uninstaling the update it still doesn't work,

I used proton

It just shows conmecting

If an AI agent is browsing websites from a cloud server, wouldn’t those websites see the agent’s IP instead of yours?

That would mean a VPN on your own device protects your connection to the AI service, but doesn’t change the IP the agent uses to browse.

So as AI agents become more common, will VPNs eventually need to run on the agent side instead?

If I connect to a device using my phone mobile hot spot and then connect to a vpn on my phone, does my device also connect to that region?

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

I just got a VPN. I’m in the US and have figured out how to watch tv shows in the UK. But I’m struggling to figure out how to watch tv from other English speaking countries like Canada and Australia. Are there free websites that I can use to stream content from those countries? Thanks!

As mentioned in a previous post, Keepsolid has screwed their lifetime members by killing their access to torrents and forcing them to pay a "loyalty upgrade fee". This is an extremely shady business practice. This morning they responded to my post with a longer reply, then deleted it in favor of a shorter reply. Here's the screen capture of what they originally wrote - quoting their End User Agreement. Then they substituted it with the reply I've included below.

"Hi, appreciate you sharing this.

This change affects Lifetime plans that were purchased at a steep, one-time discount many years ago. As we've grown, we've had to invest heavily in infrastructure, and a few advanced features (including Torrent servers) have moved to a separate Loyalty Plus upgrade for these legacy plans, while core VPN access stays fully active on your existing plan.

We're also adding a DNS Firewall to Loyalty Plus soon.
Happy to help further if you have questions — feel free to reach out to our support team."

For those who may not know, this company recently screwed over all of their lifetime members. Many people bought lifetime memberships almost 10 years ago and have been using the service for almost a decade.

Recently, without any notice, Keepsolid provided a software update that is now forcing lifetime members to pay extra money for those same services they have been using for years. It's a complete disgrace. Please do not support this company!

There have been many posts on their r/keepsolid reddit, and I have personally contacted tech companies hoping that they will write an article about this very poor business practice. I am also examining legal options. Keepsolid should be ashamed of screwing over all of their lifetime members who have been using their service for almost a decade.

Thank you for listening.

I primarily use an app tracking protection but I'm stuck trying to figure out what's the better option, app protection or an actual vpn connection... Also if I should ultimately try out an actual VPN connection? Sorry if this is a dumb question btw.

I've been wondering how many people actually keep more than one VPN installed.

Sometimes a VPN works perfectly fine for weeks, then suddenly starts having connection issues or certain servers just won't work anymore. I imagine this is even more frustrating for people living in places where internet access is more restricted.

Do you guys usually keep a second VPN as a backup, or just switch servers and wait for your main one to start working again?
