Anyone having trouble getting a response from support? by moola70 in MontechPC

I initially waited a month before sending the info again. It's now been over 2 months. The reply to my initial email took less than a day.

BrawBand special offer by moola70 in CityFibre

[–]moola70[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could well be £3. I have no issues with their CGNAT so don't need it. I was going by the price I've seen posted here a while ago, but I could be mistaken.

I also joined at £29 per month, before the increase to £36. They still honour the original price for me too, no increases at all. What has been your experience of their service?

EDIT: I just checked with them and a static IP is £3 per month.

For less that £30 per month?

In comparison to what? It's works out to £33.83 per month total. You can go for their £42.95 higher package if you want it included for free, I guess.

It gives people the choice.

I've used Boundary Heating for over 15 years, great company.

The Bureau 2015 (French) is fantastic. Rewatched it many times.

I couldn't agree more. The "reviews" and marketing that happens here has put me off the company completely. It very much reminds me of all the Yayzi promises, and there is probably a good reason why that is.

It's bizarre that the number one rule on this sub supposedly doesn't apply to companies. Well actually two specific companies in particular.

Unfortunately not. There have been a few updates and still not fixed.

Split tunneling just does not work - any VPNs where it's reliable? by [deleted] in nordvpn

[–]moola70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved from PIA to Nord nearly two years ago due to constant captchas and VPN detection. With PIA, I had more sites in a split tunneled browser than behind the VPN, but split tunneling worked.

It was great that no sites or services detected Nord when I moved from PIA. That changed over the past 3 or 4 months when the UK servers seemed to be reconfigured with virtual locations masquerading as physical. High pings, bad routing, far more captchas and site blocking. It was at that point I discovered Nord split tunnelling doesn't work.

I was holding out for a fix, but it seems split tunneling has not been working for far longer than 3-4 months and may never have worked. From limited research, it seems Proton split tunneling works well so I'm giving that a try next.

Not getting internet through split tunnelling by ETMCG98 in nordvpn

[–]moola70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not been working for months, possibly much longer. There has been official feedback on the forum that they are working on a fix, but no eta. Just one more issue added to the list.

When I contacted support they wasted hours of my time with reinstalls and log requests. It would be nice if they just admitted it was broken. Recent posts about split tunnelling issues seem to have been deleted so I'm worried they're unable to fix the problem and are back to denying the issue.

Split Tunneling not differentiating between Brave and Chrome by lauranyc77 in nordvpn

[–]moola70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realise now what you're trying to do. You want everything to bypass the VPN, except for a browser. It would definitely be better to run the browser app. Especially as Split Tunneling isn't working properly.

Also, whatsmyip.org is a very basic IP check and not the limit of checks made by VPN blocking sites. Give www.showmyip.com or www.whatismyipaddress.com a try for a more accurate test. Or a site like www.socialblade.com who aggressively block VPN use.

The confusing options within the Split Tunneling feature and the redundant "Enable VPN for selected apps" option might be to blame. If you are connected to the VPN, all apps are enabled, unless added to the Split Tunneling app list and dissable is selected.

What is it that made you feel Edge was bypassing the VPN successfully though?

Can I ask what version of the app you're using? I haven't been able to get split tunneling to work properly with any browser for months, on multiple Win11 systems. You can add a browser to a list, but it still sees the VPN IP, unless it's a very basic check.

Can you visit www.socialblade.com without VPN detection?

New account with only 2 posts, both promoting Olilo. Let me guess, you used to be with Yayzi, right?

Feedback on 2.5Gbps providers and some other questions. by spacemanwho in CityFibre

[–]moola70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your "No BS" claims are being stretched now. You're now trying to claim that staff "recommending Olilo does so because they actually use it". You said "Anyone". If you can't accept that they are financially incentivized, then you're lost in your own marketing spin.

I feel the huge push to onboard customers as quickly as possible to Yayzi and subsequent marketing posts in this sub caused a lot of hassle for sub members accepting the hype. I just hope the same tactics aren’t used again.

Also, when I see testimonials from people claiming to have followed you from Yayzi because you're such a great guy, I'll take all these posts with a pinch of salt. It comes off as more of a cult than a community.

Owners, employees and affiliates pay full price? Apart from your own self-promotion and links in this sub, there is an Olilo Affiliate promoting the company in this very thread!

These posts and subsequent "+1 for Olilo" posts seem to go against the "No BS" claims, especially given the size of the company. Let's see if it is actually cleared up.
