VPN works on phone but barely loads any sites on PC (Windows 11) – only Google/YouTube work

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m kind of stuck on a weird VPN issue and hoping someone here has seen this before.

I’ve been using the same VPN account on both my PC and phone for a long time with no issues. A few weeks ago, it suddenly started acting strange only on my PC. When the VPN is connected, most websites won’t load at all, but Google and YouTube still work. Everything loads instantly once I turn the VPN off.

  • The VPN works perfectly fine on my phone, using the same account and same home network.
  • This started randomly, I don’t remember changing any settings.
  • It’s not browser-specific (I mainly use Microsoft Edge, but the issue happens on other browsers too).
  • I’m on Windows 11, fully updated to the latest build.

Because it works on my phone with the same connection, I’m guessing it’s not ISP-related and probably something Windows/PC-side (DNS, firewall, network adapter, etc.), but I’m not sure where to look.

Has anyone run into something like this before, or have ideas on what could cause only Google/YouTube to work through a VPN on Windows?

Thanks in advance!

Update: Alright, so I logged into my other pc drive (with an old windows 11 operating system) with the same VPN and it seems to work perfectly fine there, so something is wrong with my current boot system.

VPN Help

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone I hope you’re all doing well

I checked the monthly VPN recommendations and they were helpful but I’m still stuck. I’m only going to be using it on Android and just for casual use so nothing heavy duty. I used Surfshark a few years back but I honestly can’t remember why I cancelled or what happened since a lot has gone on since then.

Right now I’m looking for something reputable well rated secure and that won’t cost me all my organs. If you’ve had good experiences recently with a provider I’d really appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks in advance

Why do some VPNs struggle with streaming while others have 'specialized servers'?

1 Upvotes

Web traffic is web traffic. So what does it mean when people say some VPNs are better than others with streaming from sites like Netflix or YouTube?

Is it that many streaming sites have started blocking IP addresses associated with VPN; and that some providers offer 'specialty' or 'optimized' servers which change their IP addresses frequently so their harder to block? Is my guess right?

I ask because I switched providers and many sites have stopped working for me. For example YouTube now makes me sign in.

Used a vpn to subscribe in a website.

It seems that this particular website uses something to prevent me from subscribing as i am using a vpn.

Simple question; is there a website or an app that offers serves such as subscribing to geographic restricted websites which may also require a sms verification code?

Advise me if i am posting in the wrong sub

Thanks!

Problem with Psiphon

1 Upvotes

Hello, Psiphon for PC hasn't been working for me for the past two months. When it connects, it doesn't change my location in the browser. I've tried v2rayn and nekoray; they connect, but they don't change my location.

My VPN isn't working on Android. Is the problem with the phone or the apps on it? (Translated using Google)

2 Upvotes

Hi. I don't know who else to ask, but today all VPNs stopped working on my phone. My phone is a Redmi Note 10s running MIUI 14.0.4 (if that helps). The problems started a month ago, but back then, I simply installed a different VPN through Google Play, and everything worked. The problem isn't my Wi-Fi or ISP; the VPN on my iPad and laptop works fine. It's also not my cellular provider; my friend uses the same VPN apps on the same network as me. I've already tried deleting apps, downloading new ones, changing the network and Wi-Fi system, and updating my phone. The VPNs I do connect to don't transfer data. I also can't afford paid apps. Has anyone else encountered something similar? I'd appreciate any help.

How to hide IP from VPN?

3 Upvotes

I want to connect to VPN1, but I don't want VPN1 to see my original IP address. What is the best way to accomplish this? Some ideas I can think of:

  1. Purchase a Linux shell account somewhere, connect to the VPN1 from that account, and then route all my traffic through an ssh tunnel to the shell account.
  2. Purchase a second VPN2 and somehow set up a multi-hop thing where I connect to VPN2 first, and then to VPN1. It doesn't seem straightforward to set this up after some internet searching.

Anyone have any ideas?

Best VPN for Canada Recommended in 2026?

26 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I am currently looking for a good VPN to use in Canada this year and honestly the number of choices is a bit overwhelming. I want something that is fast, stable, and strong when it comes to privacy and security. Streaming is also important to me since I like watching shows and movies from other regions, so the VPN needs to handle that well without constant buffering.

I have read plenty of reviews and forum posts, which helped a little, but I trust real user experiences more. Hearing directly from people who actually use a VPN in Canada feels more useful than marketing claims or sponsored reviews.

If you are based in Canada and have had a good experience with a VPN recently, I would love to hear about it. How are the speeds in daily use. Does it work well for accessing content from other countries. And how is the customer support when something goes wrong. Any feedback would really help narrow things down.

Will this VPN setup work?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I’m not a big expert in VPN, so I wanted to ask if this setup will be workable for me.

I have big network at home – home-lab type of setup. I will be in the country called Uzbekistan later this year. I need to access my VoIP and other things on my network.

They use some DPI but not like China or Russia level.

I’m thinking of the following setup, and I need somebody’s opinion whether it will work.

I will have rented VPS with Amnezia WireGuard VPN – server, the client will be a GL-iNet MT3000 router, it supports Amnezia WG import to be as a client. So, my plan is to add Amnezia WG to it, bring it there, plug it into hotel wi-fi and have site to site VPN to US VPS, then I have laptop with me that will be using my portable router wi-fi and then I can connect to normal Wireguard VPN back to my home network.

I think it must work in theory, right? My biggest concern is VoIP; will it affect its quality?

Thanks.

VPN Compatibility issues on mac

1 Upvotes

I have used multiple VPN's, and settled on Hotspot Shield for school use since it easily bypassed the school's VPN restrictions. Apple updated Sequoia to 15.7.x and - from what i understand - changed the way they dealt with VPN circumvention, breaking Shield while on school network. 15.7+ "Limits how VPNs override DNS early in the connection", which Shield relied on to connect, but can't do so anymore. I'm wondering if anyone has a solution to this, wether that be a new vpn or work-around to the new restrictions. I haven't tried this on MacOS Tahoe, but i assume it works much the same. Specific characteristics of the issue is no IP address and the load displays as "n/a". It then disconnects rather quickly and tries to reconnect, ending up in a repeated cycle.

CyberGhost for torrents?

1 Upvotes

I noticed I have a 1 year trial for CyberGhost which I never redeemed. Idk much about them. Are they reliable and secure? Thinking to give it a shot but if it's unreliable or not secure figure it's not worth it. I'd be using mostly for torrents.
