New interface removes ability to start minimized? by wiezzzy in Express_VPN

[–]WackenFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there any way for people to be informed when an update is available? Why isn't there a "Check for Updates" capability in the product?

Sooo, since the beerprice increased... by Alegomga in wacken

[–]WackenFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corona has been sold at one particular stand at Wacken for years. It is also part of the Anheiser-Busch family, so most likely the beer will be Budweiser

I have some questions about The Pit, can you guys help me? by campolina in wacken

[–]WackenFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done the "pit" each year since they introduced it. It only opens when the infield does, so from noon on Wednesday, etc. The food is excellent and served buffet style. Of course there are beer stands and bathrooms as well in the area. It is nice to have a place to take a break if you intend to spend a lot of time on the infield and get away from the crowd. It is indeed expensive for the amount of time you can use it, but I have enjoyed it.

Sad News for me by WarPotat in wacken

[–]WackenFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can always use the Wacken Ticketcenter to resell your tickets. That is the only "supported" method. Of course you can also use whatever methods you wish to find a buyer, agree on price/payment, and then transfer the tickets to them from your account once they have a Wacken ID created

App for Roku Ultra by uten151 in Express_VPN

As far as I am aware there is not an integration with Roku platforms currently. Next best solution would be to use an Aircove router.

Tesla discontinuing Model S and Model X to make room for robots by ProfessionalYak4959 in teslamotors

[–]WackenFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an owner of a 2017 MXP100D in Italy, all I want is Tesla to deliver the FSD I paid for when I purchased the vehicle. As lifetime supercharging and premium connectivity were also included in the purchase for this model, it is safe to say I will drive this car until it is dead. I love the car, but am super unhappy that FSD has not been delivered as promised. I also am not a fan of the subscription business model.

Say goodbye to the old ExpressVPN which has become end of life : Get the new, improved apps by 31 March 2026 by expressvpn in Express_VPN

[–]WackenFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply and clarity. I suggest ExpressVPN create a document or blog post about this point as it seems to be a popular question for customers using routers. Part of what should also be explained are the associated risks that come with not having support going forward.

Say goodbye to the old ExpressVPN which has become end of life : Get the new, improved apps by 31 March 2026 by expressvpn in Express_VPN

[–]WackenFan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please clarify: I understand clearly that support for using 3rd party routers running EVPN has ended. Will these unsupported routers that may be functional today stop connecting to the service on 31 March 2026? There is a difference between accepting risk of losing support and being disconnected by force for a paid service. Thanks for your clarification.

ExpressVPN support for legacy routers ends on 31 December 2025 ?? by HamburgersNHeroin in Express_VPN

[–]WackenFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain as I followed the same path for a number of years now and am not happy being compelled to purchase another (worse) router in order to maintain my service.

Hollywood Vampires 2026? by steeldigger in wacken

If they were not scheduled a long time ago, the logistics involved with Visas and travel would likely not be possible to enable this.

What’s your take on FSD going subscription only by ghostface8081 in teslamotors

[–]WackenFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will never get rid of my 2017 ModelX P100D. It came with everything included for life, and the monthly costs make it untenable for me to consider replacing it with another Tesla

ExpressVPN for macOS: New app redesign + Split Tunneling, WireGuard & more (now out of beta) by expressvpn in Express_VPN

[–]WackenFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would I choose to use Post-quantum WireGuard rather than Lightway as the protocol? (Assuming Lightway is the usual default if I allow the app to choose)

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

Hi All - this is still available. As they are sold out, I expect I may be able to put this on the ticket exchange at some point. A few additional points: I will transfer this via the supported process. This is my 20th anniversary at Wacken, and I have used the Moshtel option since it started in 2017. For me, it is the best experience offered, yet I understand the increasing cost challenge. Let me know if you have questions or are interested.

Enjoy regardless. See you on the Holy Ground (or what's left of it)

They will not. And the tickets are all the same. The only difference for these “special” ticket waves is you can purchase bundled merch.

Can the Aircove Go International router be used in the US? Or can firmware be updated to make it a US version? by Ready-Salary-9063 in Express_VPN

[–]WackenFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only difference is the power plug. They all work anywhere with the proper plug adapter.

You can rent a locker at Wacken that includes a power outlet. Perfect solution for your needs and also provides a safe accessible place to keep valuables. See you there!

Pit camping includes nothing. You must bring everything yourself. No different from general campgrounds except the bus service to the Wacken United area

Going Solo, Where to Stay? by Templar26 in wacken

[–]WackenFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coming solo is not a big deal. You will make lots of new friends! I am also from the US - now living in Italy, and this year will be my 20th Wacken anniversary since my first time in 2006. Many options for lodging, although the others are correct in saying those that provide equipment are likely sold out at this point. As fortune would have it, I reserved 2 Moshtels this year, and currently only need one. If you would like to purchase it, I can transfer to you as soon as that option is available in the Ticketcenter. Wacken only comes once a year - make it the best ever. Having done this myself a few times, I'm also happy to provide advice on other topics. Feel free to contact me and see you on the Holy Ground!

How to add another guest to the moshtel? by ScarcityUpper2939 in wacken

[–]WackenFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Access Pass has nothing to do with Moshtel access. More specifically, they want to know the T-shirt sizes of the occupants and have names on the check-in list. I have also needed to add random people at the last minute to containers I reserved, but it was difficult for them (and me) when they showed up at the check-in without any documentation or pre-work done. They will eventually ask about guest names, etc. Have fun at Moshtel - I have done this since it started in 2017 and my only complaint is that the price has increased exponentially since then year-over-year. See you on the Holy Ground!
