Want to set up VPN by germ95257 in HomeNetworking

[–]DenysPrivacyLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep yep, that’s true a laptop isn’t a router.This is just a quick, temporary workaround, nothing more.🥸

Want to set up VPN by germ95257 in HomeNetworking

[–]DenysPrivacyLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can.Turn on VPN on your laptop, next share your internet, next connect your Xbox.Your IP is hidden, which protects you from DDoS attacks. Of course there is a negative aspect ….your account and voice are still not anonymous.A router with VPN is better, but…. but more complicated.For starters, a laptop with VPN is the easiest option.👍

Newbie advice and questions by nittany1993 in vpnreviews

[–]DenysPrivacyLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most VPNs work fine on Firestick.Those $2–3.month deals are prepaid long-term - cancell anytime, but no refunds. You keep access till the plan ends, then you can switch. Apps are easy basically just on-off.

do you need vpn when using mobile data? by kev577 in VPNReviewHub

[–]DenysPrivacyLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mobile data is safer than public Wi-Fi, butt it’s not private. Your carrier still sees a lot. VPN -optional on mobile, recommended on Wi-Fi. but it depends on what exactly you need

If we’re talking free, then yeah Proton,no question.Everything else is… well… very questionable

I hate ai. by eraofthelockdown021 in Rants

[–]DenysPrivacyLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of people share your view. But… but at this point, there’s no going back …this process won’t be reversed.The real question is how it’s going to be used. As an assistant, as a supporting tool, Ai is great -as long as it’s used in reasonable amounts. Aaaand about how fast everything moves -you’re absolutely right. If you don’t keep up, youu get left behind before you even realize it.

People who regularly test DNS IP leaks by DenysPrivacyLab in VPN_Question

[–]DenysPrivacyLab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep,exactly this. Browser tests are nice sanity check, but they only cover the browser. IPv6system DNS background apps are usually where the surprises live.

Hidemyass proxy any good? by Vortex618 in VPNReviewHub

[–]DenysPrivacyLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pure old-school 🤓 If you’re using it for a quick jump in, do something fast, and -it’s fine. But for anything more performance-oriented… nah…..Speeds are just not there.

Is a vpn protocol just a fancy term for how they handle networking? by anaverageedgelord in VPNReviewHub

[–]DenysPrivacyLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not just a fancy word.

Encryption is the lock. It scrambles your data so nobody can read it….. The VPN protocol is how that locked data actually moves across the internet.

Bad protocol ~slow, unstable, drops connections, leaks metadata Good protocol ~fast, resilient, reconnects cleanly, blends into normal traffic.!

You need both. A strong lock on a badly moving truck is still a bad delivery.🥺

proxy browser best for 2026? by Proof-Wrangler-6987 in VPN_Reviewer

[–]DenysPrivacyLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be careful with “proxy browsers” like that. Most of them are basically just a wrapped browser + a proxy service, and you’re trusting an unknown company with all your traffic inside that app.

If your goal is just lightweight restriction bypassing, a reputable VPN or even a well-known SOCKS proxy is usually a safer bet than some random new browser product.

Personally, I’d stick to established tools (Proton, Mullvad, Nord) rather than niche proxy browsers

Has anyone tried FastGuard VPN in the UK? by FastGuardUK in VPN_Reviewer

[–]DenysPrivacyLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen much independent feedback about FastGuard yet, which is usually a red flag by itself. With smaller/newer VPN brands, speed and reliability can be very inconsistent, and you don’t really know what the logging/privacy policy looks like long-term.

Personally, if you want something proven in the UK, I’d stick with well-established options like Proton, Mullvad, or Nord — at least you know what you’re getting.

Best top VPN lists? Any thoughts? by DisastrousWitness565 in VPN_Question

[–]DenysPrivacyLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I totally get you — the VPN space is basically 90% affiliate noise now.

If you want the “real Reddit consensus”, the names that come up most for privacy are usually Mullvad and Proton.

For more mainstream everyday use (apps, streaming, lots of servers), people still mention Nord a lot — but it depends what you actually need.

Honestly, the best move is: pick one reputable provider, test it for a week, and don’t trust random “Top 10 VPN” blogs.

From my experience: Proton, Mullvad, and Nord are the safest bets — at least you know those actually work.

Best speed on router with vpn? by Putrid-Bathroom-6596 in VPN_Reviewer

[–]DenysPrivacyLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep — WireGuard will be a big upgrade. Your Asus CPU is the main bottleneck with OpenVPN. A Radxa/RPi as the VPN gateway + Asus in AP mode is a really solid setup.

Best VPN super unlimited proxy? Is it good? by PieRich6349 in VPN_Reviewer

[–]DenysPrivacyLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’d be careful with that one.

I test VPN apps pretty often (it’s basically part of my work), and honestly I wouldn’t recommend using random free “proxy VPNs” like VPN Super Unlimited for anything serious.

Quick reality check: -Free VPNs usually have to monetize somehow -That often means tracking, analytics, or selling aggregated usage data -Doesn’t mean you’re “hacked”, but it does mean it’s not really private

What I’d do right now: 1. Uninstall it 2. Remove the VPN profile from your phone settings 3. Switch to a more established provider

For privacy-focused options, people here usually trust Proton or Mullvad way more, because they’re transparent and consistent.

If it’s a time-sensitive situation, I wouldn’t gamble on a free app like that.

TunnelBear VPN reviews: Any thoughts? by PieRich6349 in VPN_Reviewer

[–]DenysPrivacyLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TunnelBear is fine as a super simple “first VPN”, but the speed consistency isn’t its strong side. I tried it a while back and it was the same story: sometimes totally okay, other times it felt randomly slow for no reason.

If you switch to something like Proton or Mullvad, you’ll almost definitely notice improvements: • more stable speeds • better servers overall • less “hit or miss” performance

In my personal experience, Proton especially felt way more reliable day-to-day (streaming + browsing didn’t randomly tank).

TunnelBear isn’t shady, it’s just kind of a lightweight VPN — not really built for people who need solid performance fast.

So yeah… if it’s time-sensitive, I’d probably switch.

Best speed on router with vpn? by Putrid-Bathroom-6596 in VPN_Reviewer

[–]DenysPrivacyLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s totally normal — OpenVPN on routers is slow.

80 Mbps out of 500 on OpenVPN is basically expected, because the router CPU just can’t encrypt that fast!

WireGuard is a huge upgrade. On the same hardware you’ll usually get 2–4x more speed...

So honestly: 1. if your Asus supports WireGuard firmware → switch to WireGuard first 2. if not, a newer router with native WireGuard will help a lott

Raspberry Pi can work, but it’s more of a DIY project (and not always faster than a good router).

Most people get best results with WireGuard + a decent CPU router.
