Most VPN Services Are Terrible
- mr_blobs 10y agoVPN services are terrible because most people using them are downloading torrents/abusing bandwidth limitations.
- jrnichols 10y agoI use mine for neither of those. Primary use: * Simply browsing the internet while at work, since our "guest network" is poorly configured and has a bunch of things blocked. (not for any valid reason, other than "this is what was blocked by default and nobody feels like changing it.") * Watching the European version of NFL Game Pass. We simply want to watch football and not have to purchase a cable subscription or deal with media blackouts. I barely even look at torrents anymore.
- rietta 10y agoI recently cancelled my PIA account. It was so incredibly slow as to be unusable most of the time. Thought through my threat model and decided it wasn't worth the hassle. I use tethering with my mobile provider when I am in dodgy places and make sure that I have an SSL connection to anything important.
