Virtual Private Networks

I've been torrenting on my WiFi using a private VPN but have gotten email notices from Lumen stating my IP was reported for violating DMCA from downloading , and repeated violations would result in termination. I thought that by using a private VPN - connected thru Singapore to the Netherlands - my ISP shouldn't be able to tell. I'm obviously doing something wrong, can someone please help me out? Thx!

I do not know what I have done, but every time I turn on the VPN and go do an activity which requires internet (web, Spotify etc) the internet shuts off. Like completely dies.

I really need help, I am not the smartest with technology, but I feel this came out of nowhere! I need help bad, and if you provide it I’ll be extremely grateful.

So I’m aware that Albania does have ads on YouTube and that you can relocate for different movie/tv shows. But what other fun uses are great for VPN.

I just subbed to a VPN last month for other things, but I realized, does this gives me extra protection to use public wifis? (The one from cafes and not just from a random stranger) and whats really the danger of connecting to public wifis if I don't have VPN? (I use to do this and so far nothing bad happened but maybe VPN would keep me safer)

So, never thought I would ask this, and didn't really have much idea of what is a VPN, so forgive the noob question.

But recently my company transferred me to Hong Kong, and I am realising a VPN is essential to what I consider normal activities. So can a VPN make my computer look like it's located somewhere else, depending on the country of my choice?

As in, may I get a public IP address belonging to north America while sitting in Hong Kong, so that openAI contents and other stuff are not blocked?

Also, I do a lot of crypto trading, and leaking my private keys (from my Trezor) is one of my biggest fears. Can a malicious VPN proprietor do that if they want?

Is it possible to have a VPN that’s not detectable by restrictive Government?

I have friends in a 3rd World country with extremely limited internet access. All social media and even email is blocked making communication virtually impossible. It used to be possible to bypass this with VPN but now that has stopped working too.

I would like to help my friends out if possible. I setup an openVPN but they can’t connect (I tried and it works with friends in other countries) so it seems they also block the VPN protocols not just the IP addresses.

Is they’re a hidden way of doing this? I read about the possibility of using SSH Tunnels with a proxy server but not quite sure how to set it up and if it would work as expected.

My friends use their mobile phones to connect to the internet and I could host a cloud server or on my home PC to give them internet access.

I’m tech savvy enough to follow tutorials but don’t truly understand everything in depth which is why I would very much appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.

Hello everyone,

I am setting up a Windows Server 2019 VPN using the IKEv2 protocol. The authentication method is configured with a RADIUS client, and everything works fine for my Windows users—they can connect to the VPN without any issues.

However, I am facing problems with Apple devices connecting to the VPN.

What I've Tested:

1. Tried different username formats, including domain and non-domain examples, such as:
   • [email protected]
   • john.doe
   • Various combinations in the VPN settings.
2. Ensured passwords do not contain special characters such as .-/\_.
3. Confirmed that my Windows PC can connect to the VPN when using a hotspot from an Apple device.
4. Imported the certificate into the Apple device, but it still shows as "Not Trusted."
5. Tested using hotspot so not to mess with subnets "192.168.1.xxx"

I would appreciate any guidance or solutions to resolve this issue and enable Apple devices to connect successfully to the VPN.

I'm just starting out with torrenting. My intention is to download only those movies/tv shows that I own the physical disk for, and usually only when my disk is too scratched to play well.

I've created a Linux VM using Hyper-V on my Windows 11 computer. On the VM, I've installed a VPN and enabled the advanced kill switch that only allows internet on the VM traffic if the VPN is connected.

The virtual switch that the VM is using is set up as external and I've set my Unifi router to forward the necessary port to the VM.

With all that said, the DPI that I have enabled on my USG is showing a bunch of torrent traffic. I'm super confused. I've confirmed that the VM has NO internet when not connected. I can't even ping a website. How is Unifi spotting torrent traffic? Does that mean that my ISP can spot torrent traffic?

I have NOT bound the interface in qBittorrent to the VPN interface (it's still set on any interface), however, my understanding is that the binding only matters if there is a chance that I could open the application before I enable my VPN connection. The advanced kill switch in the VPN application makes that impossible.

Because I'm only downloading content that I own, I feel confident that I'm well within the parameters of "fair use" (USA-based). Still, I don't want to be pestered by my ISP.

What am I missing here (I've checked for leaks...none detected)? Why can the DPI on my Unifi router see this traffic? Should I be concerned?

Hello,

 I live in China where the use of VPN is mandatory if you want to access YouTube or any western site...

I have an Apple TV that I wish to connect to Internet but I need a router (or any other device) that has an integrated programmable VPN, accepting OpenVPN for which I have already a subscription. The setup of the VPN should be friendly as I am not mastering this technique :(

As I don't need the WiFi function, it is therefore not essential and should be able to disable. Ideally I would like to remove the antennas for storage purpose.

I was checking the Routeur WiFi AX 3000

Thanks for helping me doing the right choice

If a site can detect I'm using a vpn, it sort of defeats the whole point right? I don't know how much this changes based on the vpn you use but its concerning.

My company uses a VPN for home office. We're obviously only supposed to use it for work related things.

Usually I don't have any problem with this. I always leave the VPN connection window open to remind myself to log out after I finished work. However, I've had a few cases where I shut down my PC after work without disabling the VPN, or had a crash, or Windows Update decided to restart my PC, and I didn't realize I was still logged into the the VPN because my OS "helpfully" decided to reestablish the connection on its own once I turned the PC back on.

Is there any way to disable this behavior, so even if the VPN was on when I shut off the system, after a restart I always need to manually connect to it to get back in?

I got banned from somewhere for ban evasion, but they have no rules prohibiting making a new account but i got banned for evading a ban. So I was wondering if this is the only way to change my IP address.

I few years ago I used some tool which automated the setup of a VPN server on google cloud.

It open had a vpn client by the same name. I cannot remember the name of the tool and am having trouble finding it.

Does anyone know of a tool like that?

Usually I would setup openvpn on digital ocean but I remember this tool being very easy to use.

I would like to add a Turkish payment method to my US account. I saw another post that would create a whole new account, but I am having issues with completing it.

I’m looking for something that finds where you can stream a show on a platform but also shows the languages its available in before hand, (eg, Made in abyss: available in Japanese with English subtitles in [country].) or something like that, it‘s hard to explain and I’m having a stroke myself typing this.

Is there an easy way to connect netflix to chromecast whilst a is connected?

The original post: /r/vpn by /u/Plague9601 on 2024-11-25 14:22:22.

Are there any search engines like ”stream with vpn” that show the available languages of subtitles and stuff? Because I don’t want to search the entire list of which countries have a lot of English speakers :/

Typically can a single VPN account be used on computers at two different locations?

Also, if at a given location I have multiple devices ethernet and wifi-connected to my cable modem can I selectively use VPN protection on ONLY a SINGLE computer or device at a time, on that network and not affect any other computers that share the IP address - that is the other ones would function normally as they would without any VPN protection but just the device i am actively using has the VPN protection. Thanks!

I'm a bit new to VPN's in general, but I'm trying to add my VPN service to my router page at msirouter.login. I have openVPN and the UDP for the server I'm trying to access, but I still cannot seem to get the VPN onto the router itself (it's just working correctly on my primary PC). Any help appreciated.

Hi guys, I just started using a VPN and couldn't be more satisfied with my performance. However, once I turned it off, my Wi-Fi network completely disappeared. I'm not sure why that happened, and what can I do to regain it back?

Hello guys.

I'm noob at the so excuse the level 😂

I travel a lot internationally and I'd like to be able to connect to a computer which is running at home 247 and pretend that I'm home when I'm away.

Is there a SIMPLE software solution with a gui that I could configure for that ?

Thanks for the help
