VPN

[talkativesprout]

Little explanation please from the network engineers.

I have flashed WRT successfully onto a Linksys router (primarily for ad-blocking...soz ric) and then heard about using it for VPN namely Fireguard...Now is that. Using it as a VPN client with a paid for service or is it a personal VPN using magic to obfuscate my traffic for free?

I am using pure vpn, $3.33 per month on a 5 year plan. The speed is very good and there are a large number of servers across the globe.

I’m using “private internet access” which is £65 for 3 years with 3 months free on top. I like it as it can be used on unlimited devices so the whole family is covered. Not sure about renewal as that was allegedly 85% off, £390 would be a piss take!

I also got a dedicated IP but had to choose a specific country to attach to so not sure I do that again (£80 for 3 years)

Some simple tests with fast.com suggested I had higher speed with it than direct on virgin media, maybe 10%

Really? That’s shit on Virgin if so, assuming that’s just for specific sites?

It was just me calling fast.com - you’d think a speed test site would be prioritised!
