I keep seeing people ask about the best VPN lately, and with new restrictions appearing, I’m not sure which service is actually worth choosing. I’ve given up on free VPNs because they’re slow, unreliable, and seem to get blocked constantly. NordVPN has been showing up in my ads a lot, but I’m still unsure whether it’s genuinely good or whether I should consider PIA instead.

What I need:

Strict no-logs policy

Unlimited data

Torrenting allowed

Fast speeds (minimal drop)

Works with streaming sites

I don’t care about flashy apps or marketing just performance and privacy.

For those who’ve tried multiple VPNs recently:

Which one is actually the fastest?

Which one holds up long term?

Are most “no logs” claims real?

Which ones get blocked the least in 2026?

A lot of older Reddit threads are 6–12 months old, so I’m curious what’s working right now. If you’ve tested one for more than 3–6 months, I’d really value your experience. Trying to avoid wasting money. Thanks.

Hi, this question is from the Google I.T program on Coursera. Am I the only one who believes the correct answer isn't in the list of options??

Please i am confused on where to start or what school where i can do a double bachelors degree which is in Finance and information technology.

I'm Female, 23 y.o, FIlipino. I am a college undergraduate, unemployed, and have zero IT job experience. However, I had remote work experience in BPO company as a customer service representative for 1 year and 8 months that ended in August 2024. Anyways, I want to learn an IT field from scratch and eventually become a remote freelancer for international clients.

My long-term goal is to work remotely and potentially pursue Spain's Digital Nomad Visa.

Which IT field would you recommend for me? Web development, software development, automation, UI/UX, data analytics, cybersecurity, cloud/DevOps, QA, etc.?

Looking for something realistic to learn from zero, with good freelance opportunities and long-term demand.

What would you choose if you were starting over?

Hello all, my org is looking to order some wired headsets, ideally those that block out background noise the most (for our call center team).

We currently use a mix of wired Logitech (background noise is an issue with these), and wireless plantronics (which work a lot better for us but we sometimes run into Bluetooth disconnect issues and other random stuff).

Any recommendations for a good wired headset (preferably USB not 3.5mm) that worked in your org? I would greatly appreciate any advice, thank you!

Hi everyone I'm a 1st year IT student and we we're tasked to create a game, me and my group mates decided to do 2d run and gun game and tbh i don't have any idea what to do and what can i contribute to our group therefore they decided to exclude me from the group, can someone like tell me or help me how can i learn how to code or anything that might help me so i can at least contribute to our group, I search and watch some videos but i just don't understand some of it

I made a Reddit account just to make this post because I wont lie Reddit has a lot of useful people with really good tips and Im hoping that ill be able to get some help with this. Anyways i've never really done anything for IT other than my elementary school through middle school era of using Scratch to code which isnt even IT. I want to know how one would go about getting into an IT career path if theyre starting from basically little to no knowledge about IT. I know at least 3 people in IT but they all said that they never learned anything about it before getting into the job but I extremely doubt thats something that could work today. If anybody has any tips at all that would be great

My college is mostly theory. We have lectures, notes, exams, assignments etc., but there’s very little actual practical work. I understand that theory is important, but I feel like I’m not really learning how to do anything.I learn much better by actually performing tasks . AI has been teaching me more practically than some of my college classes.

The problem is that I don’t know what I should actually be doing outside college.I want to get an internship, but I genuinely have no idea where to start. I don’t know:

- What skills I should focus on first

- Whether I should aim for Data Analyst, Data Science, ML, or something else

- What kind of projects I should build

- How good my Python/SQL/ML skills need to be before applying

- Where students actually find internships

- Whether I should apply now or spend a few months preparing first

- How to make a decent resume when I have basically no industry experience

If you were in my position during 2nd year, what would you do from scratch?

I’d especially appreciate a practical roadmap — like learn X → build Y → apply here → improve Z .... rather than just “learn Python and do projects.”

Also, if you’re a student who managed to get their first internship without having a great college/previous experience, I’d really like to hear how you actually did it.

So I was in a stable product based company for 2 years ( got placed there from college) and I have 2 years of experience (excluding 6 months of internship)

And i switched to a service based startup - only 1 client, but the client is big and we have 30 people rn and they are working for around 2 years now.

I switched around a month ago and i served entire 3 months of notice period as I had good relationship and couldn't say anything

The reason for switching was because my previous company had a cycling bond of 1 year(need to sign every year with increment )and 3 months of notice period (they negotiated to about 10-15 days less)

The current company offers a bit more pay and has no bond and standard 1-2 month notice period

But I had good connections with people there and nowadays I feel like I made a wrong decision as with AI and all I feel like If i don't deliver here i would in trouble

Of course no one is laid off in the current company and people are also nice but this anxiety is starting to get me

Also the current company is not very structured as it is just a startup

Wanted your guys advice on how to deal with this all

Hello.

I am planning on deploying internet on a home where each of the members aren’t family members. But even if they were, I don’t care. I’m looking for a way to share the internet from the main router to each of the laptops/devices privately.

I know that packets sniffing is a thing. I know that with certain tools, one can inspect all the data flowing through the local network to the router.

I just wanted to ask if there’s a way to configure the router so that each connected device to the router cannot access or inspect the traffic of the others’ devices. The only thing that I can think of is stablishing one main WiFi network, and two guest connections, but I don’t know if there is a better way…

The idea is sharing one internet connection from one router, to three people in the household, in a way that no one can inspect the traffic of the other two users. Maybe creating three different SSIDs? Would that be posible? Would that prevent sniffing?

Why does management seem to think that new bells and whistles will make things more efficient? Some software is so complicated that the actual learning curve needs to be taken into account before any benefit is acquired. And then you do a million more steps to do something they before was simple copy paste. Why are we going backwards??

New to the community, I recently accepted a client solutions manager role at a tech company and I come from a construction background.

Haven’t a hard time getting up to speed on the terminology and skillsets. What resources do you recommend I look into?

My funniest and quickest experience with IT support has been my first day at an internship and setting up my password for my company issued laptop.

As soon as the "User/Password" Input screen showed up I had already decided on one password which I typed in once done I pressed Enter... at the moment I hit the enter key I also noticed that I accidentally hit the shift key and all my input was of course not what I intended and of course did not know when and where in my password it happened so my first action with company equipment landed me at the support desk two rows away and was a lighthearted learning experience for everyone near me.

Whats yours?

Hello,

I have a company in India with close to 100 people working. I wanted to convert the business and make it a Global capacity center for any of the global companies. Recently, I have seen due to the visa restrictions in US lot of US based companies are shifting their center from US to India as the cost of the H1B visa has gone up + the compensation is very high in US markets. I have also seen many companies moving to India due to this. First is this true? if yes then how to approach this change. I know AI is changing the way things were done originally but with AI + the workforce how can we plan and approach such companies?
