re-VPNs

[JesseRaymondBassett]

Hello all,
Just wondering if anyone has experience in using VPNs? What was your experience like? What program do you use? I use ProtonVPN via means of TunnelBack. It works perfect on my macOS and its free. Just curious.

For what purpose?

For what purpose?

I usually use VPNs to stream my television provider as it is an IPTV service.

Yes, Virtual Private Network, as I understand it, makes your web presence undetectable without losing connectivity by assigning your actual location another bogus location on the other side of the country for instance. The only nuance is having to temporality disable it for some of your security measures to run properly, or some critical task such as financial and sundry websites requiring a more visible idea for their cookies to work on you. Those are some of the downsides. But in day-to-day activity, in my estimation are a plus to any antivirus, nefarious web bad-guy efforts.

Duck duck go as a browser and search engine. I've used several over the years PIA, tunnelbear...
Use a vpn service that does not keep records so they cannot be compelled to surrender information they don't possess. There are pros and cons.

Tor browser is a open source vpn that relays and encrypts your traffic 3 different times.

Vpns can slow you down. They can cause some sites not to work.
Tor, if you wish for some reason to retain anonymity.
I simply detest the grubby corporate fingers constant prying.

Tried Searxng ? Not a VPN, but a marvelous search engine.

My question was more related to if people use VPNs here and what their experiences on them were.
