Best VPN to buy

Well I know this isn’t a Unity topic in a conventional sense, but it still sort of is since I want to use VPN to protect myself in case regional laws prevent me from accessing certain sites.

Does anybody have any good recommendations for a good VPN? I know about virtualshield since many youtubers promote it but I don’t know if it’s the best one. Any suggestions?

Linus Tech Tips is constantly promoting Private Internet Access. I have not tried it myself.

Opera browser?

Typically browsers don’t have anything to do with vpn, unless you have explicitly set them up. For example by changing proxy. Or some addons. Which are not ideal in comparison to VPN.

If you trust a browser company with your stuff: https://www.opera.com/computer/features/free-vpn

I have definitely missed that one. However features are very similar, to what tor browser offers. Anyone can confirm, if opera VPN works in network restricted localizations. For example China?

Tsk. Tsk. So negative.

How about using VyprVPN? I use this one with my friend- because Korea Government blocks all good porn sites.

As far as I can tell though it’s not actually VPN though, it’s a proxy service which Opera is calling a VPN. It still might offer protection, I’m just dubious of what seems like it might be a deception.

Opera browser’s VPN is just a proxy, here’s how it works
I haven’t looked into subject really, but you made me think. I just picked first better result in search.

So if that the case, opera do not offer free vpn. Which made me skeptical in first place.

As article says, we got, what we pay for. But there are plenty free proxies available.
Anyone with a bit tech knowledge, can set one.
Proxies can be also detected, and blocked.
But again, that is indeed not VPN.

I am lazy, ok?

Yeah that is fair enough. I wont blame you :slight_smile:

Use, HMA VPN Service. I am already using this.

I agree. My local nerd definitely knows what they talk about. xD

You can create one in minutes if you have a windows computer. I did that to be able to play LAN games with my friends.

Sorry but this comment is completely unhelpful in the topic, without providing any details.

But now I read it was to get around regional stuff, and then hosting on your own IP is not very helpful :stuck_out_tongue:

Also, most people don’t have public IP. That potentially exposes home machine to attacks, if server is not setup in proper manner. But mostly user would be required to purchase public IP, from own internet provider.

And of course, not everyone.uses win10 :slight_smile:
