Comment on Would this extension help folks in the UK with Imgur posts?
remon@ani.social 1 day agoMy VPN is on 100% of the time. The only thing I can confirm is that reddit sometimes blocks my VPN (guess there IP list isn’t quite complete), but in that case I just use a libreddit frontend (should do that anyway).
Downloading games from GOG is capped at like 0.5Mbps.
Are you using a free one? I at least get 500 mbps download through my vpn, usually more.

No it’s a paid VPN, and it starts fast but after the first 500GB or so it slows right down.
I do suspect many of the issues are from activity on the VPN rather than specific VPN blocking, but that doesn’t change the issues.
How do you handle the Google Captchas that never end? That was the worst part for me.

I guess I don’t get them because I’m logged in with my google account?
Cloud flare is more annoying, but I usually just get the checkboxes, rarely do I have to select busses/bikes/trafficlights etc.

Ah haha, I actively avoid using google so don’t log in to an account. If you don’t mind me asking, if corporate surveillance isn’t what you’re avoiding, what’s the main reason you’re using a VPN?

Primarily for torrenting, secondarily for getting around geo-blocking.
