are you logged in? that stops them for me

 

when using chrome browser you can have as many multiple downloads you want from rg kt etc at once, you create a chrome profile for each gmail, install the vpn extension and choose the country for each profile, I see someone on YouTube using 7 chrome profiles , downloading from 7 countries flawlessly but I dont know which vnp they used cause all the ones I tried failed, even the auto skip on YouTube extensions that worked later failed.

 

so who do you recommend?

 

If someone near you wearing a piyama buys a lot of fertilizer and nails, then it's not an issue.
Corporation in the west have to follow the law, but the state doesn't sell data to unknown third parties unlike "big tech" and it's legal because they are strongly lobbying and hollowing out laws. They don't like a regulating power over them. That's why some of the vocal ones like making business with dictatorships, who can do whatever they want to whoever they want.

I see your point
Dude

 

Yeah, my VPN (ExpressVPN right now which I have some issues with since changed ownership or whatever), does NOT like me using RapidGator or Katfile at all.

I always "do the captchas", wait the time, whatever, and get denied for one reason or another.

 

It 's not the vpn, it's the sites and what they are attempting to block. CRAPid-gator changed to plain-jane capcha's fairly recently from that old match-the-nursery rhyme junk they used to have - KRAP-file and Nitro-shit are dead to me and always have been. Since I don't use CrapidGator for much of anything other than the occasional small DL anyway the point is mostly moot. WHY the s-site is so adamant on using these three shittier-than-shit "file services" is beyond me other than the four being financially connected somehow.

"Claims" are like bungholes - everybody got one. I go by actions, and it has been documented that Nord does indeed collect logs and fully intends to cooperate with any agencies who ask. I don't need much more of a red-flag than that to kick them straight into the shit-bin of so-called VPN-service fuckery... Using nordvpn at this point is a fool's errand.

What EVPN issues have you encountered?

 

ExpressVPN or Mulvad.

 

Of late, their geolocation spoofing is a lot worse then it used to be (and yeah, I know those that are trying to defeat that are getting better at it, Ala Amazon etc...), they are cutting down on locations, ... the last six months to a year has just seen a deprecation of what was previously a fine and effective service.

 

Yes I know what you mean. Ever since they shit-canned their v1.xx router firmware I was forced to run DD-WRT using open-vpn because their "new FW" was too simple to handle a deployment as a defacto router. Geo-loc spoofs with open-vpn are not really optimal to say the least. However, I have since acquired a GLi AX-1800 router and run evpn's AIRCOVE on it. Getting the AX-1800 NOT as the branded "Aircove" saved almost 110$. Aircove is a very simplistic router from the standpoint that it has very little in the way of real router type features BUT it handles the VPN flawlessly. Geo-Loc with the lightway UDP protocol is MUCH slicker than with open-vpn. The entire experience is much faster due to the superior processing power of the AX-1800 router. Aircove is useless for much else other than the vpn so I also run a DD-WRT router in tandem that handles all the real router duties like local wifi, WPA, broadcast power levels, wifi security and all other network services. I simply switched OFF everything on the aircove that wasn't dealing with the VPN. Using Lightway on really FAST router hardware is nice and the much improved Geo-loc spoofing is something I noticed right away.

Yeah, you have got it figured out well @saccamano , Yeah, it kinda f'd things up a lot when they dropped their firmware and the following consequences, and then selling (from what I understand a lesser product in what many were using) in their Aircove..

Interesting on your GLi AX-1800, should I decide to go that route, I might bother you for some advice if needed!

My needs are probably different then yours right now at the moment as I am a bit nomadic, and moving internationally often, and as an American who is currently in the UK, and goes to Ireland, Iceland, Greenland, Croatia, Austria etc, hell, the Arctic Circle... I am leaning on it more on the software side service of it due to all that... and not having split tunneling and different things not work on my OS, and also wanting to watch stateside programming/news/sports etc, well, ExpressVPN USED to be the best at geo spoofing, and no problem... not as much lately, although usually hopping around will/can solve but... and it's fine on my laptop other then some things I want to do, and whatever, works on my phones and streaming devices (like my traveling Firesticks or ONN devices outside of some particular apps), so it hasn't been 'horrible', it's just been less steady or more little inconveniences then I was experiencing then, say, a year ago.

I'm locked in for probably the next 10 months or so on the service with my plan (I'm sure I could try and do something), and I haven't spent too much time researching it.. I keep hearing Surfshark is popular etc.... but again, I haven't done proper research, and I do know from your previous posts, this is obviously a subject you take seriously (as I believe you should!), and I am quite jealous of your setup and respect the way you handled it.
