A VPN question and a pretty pussy.

[Madrox]

So most everything I've seen says Nord is slightly better when it comes to the two but for now Surfshark was the better value for me. I have to say tho that I've been really happy with it.

Word. I may go with SS as well..

NordVPN and Surfshark seem equally great, but only one can be the better VPN service. Find out once and for all which one wins out in this comparison.

I don't think you'll go wrong with either one. Will be better than getting the email from your provider saying how they saw you been downloading illegal content.

I've been using NordVPN for about 3 years and love it since I download a lot using torrents.

Cons are some websites have issues w/ VPNs and you have to switch your VPN location from time to time. Just a click of a button.

The biggest issue w/ Nord is staying connected!!! It will just drop offline without notice. Just have to make sure to periodically check it to make sure you are protected.

I dropped just the VPN years ago. Ultraseedbox gives a seedbox and VPN starting at just $5 a month. They good because they don't require private torrents. It's the best deal out there. So with the basic plan, can run 3 or 4 VPN connections while using a seedbox at the same time. Seedbox is a must for torrenting IMHO.

What VPN did everyone choose??

Still debating.. my PIA ends in March but they tryna show me how they're improving and shit.... I'm still thinking of switching to Surfshark..

Anyone still using PIA?

I was good with Nord until they hit me with a $100 automatic re-up that I didn't hit the button for! I got my money back!! They then would not give me an offer lower than $60 a year! I left!

Expressvpn is good, Mullvad is another good one

Anyone have any experience with SurfSharkOne (VPN + Antvirus)? I need to update my anti-virus too and wondering if it offers enough protection, scanning etc.

Enough damn YouTubers advertise it which makes me a lil skeptic.

I used Kasper but that was a few years ago and I stopped after finding out and reading how they sell your info to places like Google, on top all of the holes in their "security" system, I bounced and never looked back.

Been on Nord VPN since 2020, mainly because of how it talks to Tor but there's plenty to choose from.

NordVPN and Surfshark are merging, continuing VPN consolidation trend

Details of the transaction were not disclosed but the companies will continue to operate autonomously, according to a joint press release.

Whats the difference between a VPS and a VPN?

VPN - Virtual Private Network

VPS - Virtual Private Server

VPS is a virtual machine inside of a physical machine. It's like an apartment building. They are normally used to host services. Most of them will not allow you to torrent on them. It goes against the ToS. If you do torrent on them, you'll find it's probably not cost efficient since most of them charge for bandwidth (data going in and out).

VPNs essentially creates a private connection to the internet. It hides your data and your IP address from the rest of the internet. So if you're torrenting a file the MPAA won't send your internet provider a letter threatening to cut you off.

If y'all are looking to buy a VPN, make sure the company doesn't keep log files. If they do, any agency can subpoena the company and they'll be forced to hand them all of your business.

Can I use a VPN to mask where I’m logging in from due to my job. We have to use Citrix to get in the environment I doubt I can download it on my work computer to mask my location or can I?

So which VPN will be the best to get? or one you like? and how to determine what the best VPN is ?

In theory, you probably could. But if the IT team at your job is worth the money, they probably don't give you the rights to install anything on the machine. If they actually gave you admin rights, the network team might block known VPN IP addresses from connecting to the corporate network. If you use Citrix, do you actually have to use your work computer to access it? You can probably download the Citrix client to your personal machine and work from it.

It depends on what you need it for. I just need VPN for torrenting. So I just look for speed, price, and if they don't keep log files. I currently use AirVPN 'cause they meet all three for me.

For example, Netflix is starting to get hip about users watching content on VPN so they're starting to block certain IPs from certain companies. If you need VPN to watch Netflix, you'd have to pick a company that's not blocked by them, and whether the company keeps logs or not may not matter to you.

Me personally I stay away from NordVPN and other companies that are advertised 24/7 because they definitely keep logs and companies are most likely already hip to their IP addresses
