    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    eXPress VPN is way over priced to have issues like this, people claim they dont but now I see you reporting it too

    im after chrome Firefox vpn extensions to download using multiple geo locations at once, rather then wait 120 minutes for rapidgator or pay them exposing my credentials and private info.

    Have you found any solutions? PIA maybe?

    My report update, I just tried every VPN out there, RG downloads work with browser extensions if the files are under 110mb or when your running the vpn on the Mac directly.

    To have the ability to use multiple vpn locations in various chrome profiles allows multiple downloads at once with out paying RG or waiting 120 minutes between downloads., how ever this failed but its worth to find out why, maybe someone here knows better..
