Do you use a VPN?

Yebo,

@work and home

Why I use a VPN - Energy Expert

there.

 

[TimBru14]

Only use a VPN to connect to company resources from an external network.

As far as I am aware I cannot use one on my main WiFi router due to me needing access to our network from outside our network for our CCTv, alarm, etc. I do use a work VPN while at home though.

Do you have an option "allow LAN traffic"?

On my router?

 

[AlphaJohn]

Work: Private VPN
Home: Surfshark for viewing pleasure.

Other: Zerotier to "call" home and for Lan gaming.

When I am on Public networks definetly. Do my best not to sure Public networks though where I can help it though.

 

[Mzezman]

Are there any VPNs you can run on a USG for whole home VPN or with policy based routing?

 

[Japied]

Yes, I do not want cANCer to spy on me.

 

[Demented!]

Yup, all day everyday

 

[Cstar 0711]

Best two for free usage after months of research;

Windscribe
or
HotSpot Shield

Thanks for the recommendations. Been looking around and all I get is sponsored endorsement

For work yes (don't have much choice). Personally, I rarely use it.

Opera has a basic VPN built into their browser, which I use for nefarious purposes, like torrents. Don't judge me....

Its ok you'll only experience judgement here if you don't use torrents..

 

[The_Ogre]

ExpressVPN to get past geolocation
Home to connect to my home network
Work to connect to my work network

 

[Barbarian Conan]

Yes, everyday. How else can I work from home ?

You would be surprised. The company I work for still maintains split systems sadly, but the newer part is pretty much VPN free. Everything is cloud based, from source control, to documentation, to HR systems etc.
For the older part I still need to log into a VPN for everything. Even though it's fast and I get full line speed, it still sucks.

Personally, no VPN.

Some will say I need to internet harder, but in what way?
Georestricted content? That almost never happens these days. Privacy? Meh.
I trust the security between google and I or my bank and I more than trust sending all my traffic through a third party.

The dirty P word that we shall not speak of on MyBB? Is it really necessary in SA?

 

[InvisibleJim]

I use a VPN to connect to the office. I don't use a privacy VPN but then I'm almost never on public wifi or another untrusted network.

 

[jacosmit]

Oh, various VPNs, depending on location and what I want to do.
VPN to my home - Supplement and help out with browsing by reducing ram usage on my local laptop.
VPN at home - If we need to reach a certain area to view media from there.
VPN on my phone - Various app and connection, also for above reasons or just to privatize my surfing.

 

[Paul C]

I have one of the best, NordVPN.
Use it just for Netflix in other regions, still a bargain

I tried Nord for Netflix, but it kept showing the SA version, no matter which country I picked. Is there a trick I'm missing?
