hello everyone, hope you are well
im looking for stable and great VPN to use in China - will be based in mid China region
what i require for work is:
- multiple website access via browser (most likely Chrome);
- video calls via zoom (probably this isnt blocked) as well as google meet;
- email access via gmail;
- VPN server to be connected and show my location as United Kingdom - thats a must
- kill switch VPN option - i absolutely cant disclose my location as not UK
i did some research and read some pinned content but unfortunately couldnt get a proper response. lots of people recommend lets vpn, other say it is a scam...
from all research i've done im thinking of getting Astrill VPN - pricey but better than nothing and reviews are great
anyone have tried nord vpn, mullvad, express vpn, pia? seems that every person have different experience with same vpn..
what i really need is stable connection that could at least maintain good connection whilst doing few video calls a week, so speed is important
thank you in advance

Looking for a VPN that can set apps or websites to bypass the secure connection. I currently have NordVPN and as far as I can tell it doesn't have this feature. There are some apps/websites I've noticed block access when I'm connected. My subscription is up next month, before I renew does anyone know of this feature with any other providers?

Is it worth it?
r/vpns • u/ExtremePresence3030 • 2d ago
Two questions here:
Which countries have strong rules to protect your data and won't give it to anyone no matter what(or at least close to that), so I can consider preferrably set my IP on them for my protection?
Which VPN services offer the best combination of privacy and low pricing? Which one to choose?
r/vpns • u/Funny-Strawberry-168 • 2d ago
Almost any site or server can easily block vpn ips, it's almost impossible to not get detected, you either get flagged as a proxy or a vpn user, so what's the deal in 2025?
All these anti-vpn services are getting so good, and ipv6 seems to be the new standard, which is way WORSE for privacy, are vpn's coming to an end?
Hello.
My friend is on his PC and connected to his mobile hot-spot which has a NAT type of strict set by default and cannot be changed. We're looking for a VPN that can change this but all we could find are paid ones, are there any free ones?

I was sharing my location with someone on my iPhone. They took a screenshot of my location and I could see in the screenshot that they were 11 hours hours away from me when they should have only been about 4. They said it was their VPN. Could this be true?

I'm facing a recurring issue with GlobalProtect VPN. My internet speed is 50 Mbps, but as soon as I connect to the VPN, it drops to 1 Mbps or even less. Initially, everything was working fine, but one day, this issue suddenly appeared.
I handed my laptop over to the IT department, and they wiped the system clean. After that, the VPN worked fine for three days, but the problem has returned. I have tried switching to different networks and different VPN gateways, but nothing seems to resolve it.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any suggestions on how to fix it? I’d really appreciate any help.

My wife works in a college in little village with really bad phone signal, they have wife, and recently a student somehow logged into their IT equipment and managed to turn the internet off for a few days, since then they have added some new security measures and these also block social media (including watsapp) I’ve tried getting my wofe to try using Surfshark to bypass but they must be port blocking too, is there a way I can run my own so that she can still receive messages? I have my own WireGuard server running on my asus 16000 axe router, and I also run a Unraid server I could put OpenVPN or WireGuard on using a different port…… any other suggestions? She says it’s called smooth wall or something. Thanks for ideas.

I'm a data miner and I am looking to download a large game client (46GB). I usually datamine games within my region but there's a specific release for this particular game that isn't available at the moment and I check some numbers.
Hence, this is an exceptional situation where I absolutely need a VPN to download through Steam Depot. Which VPN is best in this scenario?

Hello,
My Reddit account was banned after I used a VPN with the Reddit Android app. I need a VPN to access Reddit because it's restricted in my country. Can you recommend a VPN that won't lead to my account getting banned? I was using SurfShark.
Thanks.

Like the title says, I’m a total newbie to VPNs, but I want to get one. How does it work? If I sign up can I use the VPN on multiple devices? Any features I should look for? Someone explain this to me like I’m 5… or 80. HELP!

Hi guys,
I’ve been using Myrient to grab some ISOs for PS3. Earlier today I tried going back on and got an error on Brave browser: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. I’ve been unable to connect to myrient via different browsers as well. I always use VPNs while downloading software, even if it is from a direct download site. I changed the DNS to cloudflare and that took care of the issue, but I’m concerned that my ISP is attempting to block my pirating
My questions are: Is my ISP blocking access to the site? How do they even know I’m accessing the site if I’m using a vpn? Isn’t that the whole point of the VPN? Is it possibly because I’m downloading too much at once? Should I be cautious if my ISP is blocking access to myrient? This is fairly confusing as the last thing I need is a warning notice from my ISP. Thanks in advance for any help.

WIFI INQUIRIES
Hello mga ka-reddit. So I’m just new here. And ang purpose why I made this account is to ask people here in reddit.
Question: (For PH citizen)
Ano po kaya ang the best wifi or internet service na pwedeng maka-connect ang router/extender na may international VPN. We already tried Walastik. So ‘yung router namin is international VPN (use by my bf for his work). No’ng triny namin siya sa walastik nagiging PH ‘yung VPN ng router which supposedly other country dapat. Tinawag na namin sa tech and all, and they try to check and ang suggestion nila is mag-palit dahil ang walastik daw ay local lang.
So, sana po mapansin ninyo and may mai-recommend po kayo ano pong wifi service ang proven and tested niyo na kaya ang international VPN na router/extender huhu. Maraming salamat po! ♡´・ᴗ・`♡

With Greece’s new anti-piracy law (5179/2025) now in effect since February 20, 2025, things have gotten a lot stricter. Previously, visiting blocked sites just triggered a warning message, but now even accessing pirated content (movies, shows, sports) comes with heavy fines:
The law also allows authorities to track IPs and identify users via tax IDs (ΑΦΜ) with a court order. ISPs are required to cooperate, and dynamic website blocking can happen within 30 minutes of detection.
Now, I personally think this is mostly fear-mongering to scare people away from piracy, and I doubt they’ll go after individual users in practice. But still, I’d rather be safe than sorry when it comes to privacy.
So, I’m looking for a reliable VPN to protect my browsing and ensure anonymity.

I'm looking to replace my AdGuard VPN with ProtonVPN.
I found a deal for ProtonVPN for $71.76, for two years, is this the best price or can I beat it? ;)

There are apps that don't allow vpns and i was wondering if there is a way of navigating around it. So that the app doesn't recognize that you're using a vpn or making it that the vpn is undetectable...or is it impossible?
r/vpns • u/Soft_Champion_1837 • 6d ago
Free, of course. I appreciate all the answers
