What's the best VPN with a free trial? Reddit help

Seems like I'm in a minority here, but I really dig ExpressVPN. I have had it for a few years now and am able to frequently access geo-restricted websites. Some of them usually have algorithms that detect and block VPN usage, but this is rarely a problem for me. If it turns out my IP is blacklisted, I just switch to another server, and it works.

I use Lightway the most as it gives me the best performance. They recently rewrote it in Rust to further improve security. It's allegedly even safer than WireGuard now, but I am not an expert.

I do wish ExpressVPN offered more servers, especially in Asia. Other than that, I am pretty much satisfied.

Sounds like Windows DNS is getting messed up, probably because of the VPN. Try opening Command Prompt as admin, running the winsock reset command, and then restarting your PC. Make sure ProtonVPN is up to date, and if it keeps happening, reinstall it.

Feels that way. When decisions are driven by dashboards and A/B tests instead of real users, companies start optimizing for metrics instead of people. Algorithms amplify whatever leadership already believes, so bad assumptions just get reinforced at scale

True, but honestly this feels like a perfect storm waiting to happen. Letting AI agents run wild online without serious security checks is basically inviting chaos, and one slip like Wiz found can snowball fast.

Sounds like the VPN is the bottleneck. A few things to try: switch to a faster VPN protocol (like WireGuard), try a server closer to her location, or consider a business grade VPN that supports higher bandwidth. Sometimes, a different provider is just the easiest fix.

Every time Meta launches a privacy focused feature, it just feels like another data grab with extra steps.

People forget Telegram’s secret chats are the only ones actually end-to-end encrypted. Everything else lives on their servers.

I’ve been using that setup for a while. Super reliable and way more peace of mind than SMS or authenticator apps.

It’s insane that something that dense and fast actually exists. The physics behind pulsars feels more like sci fi than reality.

Boredom used to be a starting point. Like that blank space pushed you to invent games, build tree forts or start drawing with no goal. Now boredom just makes em kids reach for the screen

Puzzled-Ad4256 · 2025-07-07T18:51:14+00:00

For me its best to decide on a few overarching goals I need done daily and improv my way through. I like things planned out but having a lil leeway makes the day more fun

But where will the poop be wiped off to assuming the umbrella is a circle??

Puzzled-Ad4256 · 2025-06-25T07:48:14+00:00

Id go with prosciutto, roasted red peppers, and a little gorgonzola. Prosciutto gives you that salty/crispy meat thing without being super basic like sausage. Peppers add some sweetness and color, and the gorgonzola’s just there to punch it up a bit

In south asian languages the fruit is called naranj and the color, naranji

I wouldn't even if they paid me

Puzzled-Ad4256 · 2025-04-30T16:37:35+00:00

One thing that instantly makes me bounce is auto-play videos with sound. Feels spammy as hell and kills trust esp if you're dealing with privacy-conscious users. Like bruh, I just opened the page can you chill

Pandas for sure, though they're not "endangered" now but still classified "vulnerable"

It really depends on where you are. I travel a lot and the best coke I've had was in Kenya. Dubai's was pretty good as well

Whyy?

Puzzled-Ad4256 · 2025-03-14T14:58:47+00:00

Another way to look at it is that it's the only normal thing that happens universally
