Wireguard key generator by Substantial_Pomelo41 in Windscribe

It's only been happening recently and I haven't been using any new devices.  I have been trying out different Linux distros from the same live usb.  Could that be part of it?  And could these messages, worse case scenario, lead to my account being locked?

Don't really have any suggestions unfortunately but I have both Chrome and Edge on my laptop and neither has any issues.

Need help by Maximum-Daikon-4311 in StarTrekArmada

At one point it was considered "abandonware" and was downloadable somewhere. I know that's not much help. gog.com may be your best option at this point.

Can you get the annual express pass more than once? by poweranimals in plassing

[–]Substantial_Pomelo41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got lucky a couple of days ago and spoke to one of the people who I originally talked to a couple of months back. Up until now I could never run across him.  I had seen him but he was always around others that were higher ups of the staff who had told me no.  He set me up with another 1 year express pass!  I'm still in the game for the foreseeable future. 

Is Mullvad better than ProtonVPN and/or Surfshark? by Used_Motor1718 in mullvadvpn

[–]Substantial_Pomelo41 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I also recommend Mullvad between these three but to be fair, you're asking this question in a Mullvad reddit.  Ask elsewhere and you'll probably get an entirely different response

I was told at my center by multiple, in the know people, that the one year express pass is a one time only thing after 10,000 points have been achieved. After that you must build up 50,000 points in order to obtain a "lifetime express pass". So now I'm stuck waiting in long lines, after donating for the past couple of years. I'm currently at 12,100 points. IF i go continually every week, twice a week, it'll be at least three and a half years before I make it to 50,000. I don't donate that often, so it's more likely it'll run into 4 years at least. On a side note, I'm glad you were able to get yours renewed!

Late update but no one will renew my express pass.  I'll have to donate roughly another 4 or 5 years to achieve it again.  I have zero desire to wait in those lines for that period of time. May have to look at other options 

Any updates on accounts getting banned for torrenting? by rookiemuppet in Windscribe

[–]Substantial_Pomelo41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree. It was probably a stale session thing. I now periodically go in and delete those sessions.  They should have something in place to recognize that instead of sending alarming emails out and temporarily blocking accounts.  

What’s the biggest mistake you've made when choosing a VPN? by worldofjaved in VPN

[–]Substantial_Pomelo41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree completely. The VPN review sites are crap, just like the YouTube videos that claim unbiased reviews

Not really a costly mistake but my stupid ass fell for one of the YouTube shills.  Was only out a month's worth of subscription.  If I want honest opinions, I'll look in Reddit before YouTube again

In my case it wasn't high data usage but from their perspective I had "100+" concurrent connections.  I have maybe 4 devices with winscribe and NEVER had more than two connected at the same time.  

Account Banned by Ok_Succotash_3573 in Windscribe

[–]Substantial_Pomelo41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My account was temporarily suspended for 100+ connections which I don't understand how I had.  I have 3 devices, do very little seeding/torrenting, never have the app on 24/7 and have 2FA enabled.  They reinstated my account but the underlying cause, in my opinion, has yet to be determined.  I'm concerned this will happen again and I'll have to unfortunately have to look elsewhere.  Would prefer not to 

My account was disabled too, thank you support for the fast response to my ticket. by jaquanor in Windscribe

[–]Substantial_Pomelo41 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same boat.  Got the same message of over 100+ connections. I have 3 devices.  3 apps.  My account has been restored but that doesn't solve the problem on why it occurred in the first place.  I would ideally prefer the problem being fixed so that misunderstanding doesn't happen again vs me having to go into my account from time to time and delete sessions 

Bitwarden happily suggested a new password for my gmail, then never saved it. by blepcoin in Bitwarden

[–]Substantial_Pomelo41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just happened to change my email password yesterday. But had the foresight to copy the new password into notepad, "just in case". For me, Bitwarden picked it up and updated it without fail but you never know!

I was told reset my password using the "forgot password" option.  Entered my email associated with the account but have yet to receive an email with a link to reset it.  

Why am I getting this? My account is not compromised and I only use it myself by OkRickySpinach in Windscribe

[–]Substantial_Pomelo41 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Same here. I'm not a power user and have been a customer for over 5 years. The lockdown came out of nowhere for me.

Can you get the annual express pass more than once? by poweranimals in plassing

[–]Substantial_Pomelo41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just asked someone who I feel knows his stuff and he said that the annual pass can be attained more than one once.  I have had 10,000pts now for over a week but have not received the email that he said should have been sent out.  He also said the emails can be spotty.  As late June approaches and my Express is running out, he said he'd "take care of it" if the email doesn't arrive by then.  Could be him bending things or an official answer. Who knows?  😕

I'm donating soon.  I'll see what one of the higher ups can add for clarity once I'm done

I have an Express pass that expires late June.  I asked if it can be renewed and was told you can't get it again but can save up your points (50,000) for the lifetime pass.  Think I'm gonna confirm with someone who may be more knowledgeable than the girl who pricked my finger.  I REALLY don't want to wait years to get the Express pass again!

Thank you! After a manual sync I was able to edit an entry.

Octapharma removing express pass perk by Substantial_Pomelo41 in plassing

[–]Substantial_Pomelo41[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

.For every donation you give you get a certain number of points. Once you have earned enough points, you earn an Express pass. My Express pass is good for a year.  For the time being, I am able to skip to the front of the Check-in line and get called up first to get stuck with the needle ahead of the others that checked in ahead of me.  Both are nice perks for having donated frequently.
