This is my experience using a paid VPN in 2024

VPN
21

i needed one to get on my minecraft server at work (i have free time its ok) i used the free one with proton mail and it works great for me, i had pia and yea same kinda issues you had but i was paying for it

22

I use cloudflare warp, it’s free. But yeah you don’t choose the location(which I don’t need so it’s fine)

23

I’m just using Tor for everything, but when I wanted to play Speedy Freaks I used Kaspersky VPN just to start downloading (since I’m living in Russia almost all new games under big gaming companies are not available, so I had to use vpn, then use windows command to start downloading of the game and then just disabled vpn).

24

it’s most likely the IP and not the provider

check your current IP on blacklisted databases.

I’ve had this issue a few times with PIA IPSec and openvpn, every time it was due to being on a list somewhere.

Been using Mullvad for ages never had this issue, even with multi hop.

If you can try using a different vpn server if your vpn has that ability.

27

set up Njalla through a wire guard interface. works like a charm

28

Can someone just please make a recapch- whatever. Yea someone make a way to bypass that already

29

Mullvad has this problem with at least 2 blog websites

I’ve been using Private Internet Access (PIA VPN) and it’s working just fine. I’m in the UK, so whether it’s a USA thing?

31

use windscribe, they’re cheap and I’ve never had any problem like that

32

I can confirm you can get the same experience for free with a free VPN.

33

All good here, I’m behind 7 proxies.

34

Just use Real-Debrid, they torrent for you and then you direct download the torrent off their server. They typically download the torrent quicker than you can, and their upload speed saturates my 500MB/s connection.

35

I paid for a clean dedicated IP through PIA, got rid of these issues save for the occasional Reddit search while signed out that gets blocked.

36

Use proton. I’ve had zero issues with it and I’ve used it for years.

37

I dont have that problem with the vpn i am using

38

Yo tbh pia is where I went when Google VPN vanished and I’ve had no complaints.

39

Regardless of everyone else’s very valid point about it being the end-point you’re using: at least 1 if not 2 of those errors has nothing to do with a VPN, at all. Either the site would’ve failed otherwise, or it’s a bad peering (which can happen on your normal IP).

I actually use a VPN sometimes to get around a known bad peering issue with my ISP (who just doesn’t care enough to fix it even though I’ve diagnosed and documented it pretty thoroughly for them)

I use mullvad and never experienced something like this
