VPN Testing Reveals Poor Privacy and Security Practices, Hyperbolic Claims - Consumer Reports
The VPN industry is largely driven by marketing, not security. Consumer Reports identified poor privacy and security practices and hyperbolic claims.
Some internet service providers do not allow VPN and refuse to let you
connect to any VPN, e.g. Cogeco.
Down load the "DuckDuckGo" app and surf the net while connected to them.
They are free and don't track your traffic.
Anyone have experience using it?

Fortunately, I am not with Cogeco. That is dumb, because VPN is necessary to ensure privacy. The governments use VPN, I believe, for many of their services.
Nord has a decent rep.

Choosing the VPN That's Right for You
VPN stands for “Virtual Private Network.” When you connect to a VPN, all data that you send (such as the requests to servers when browsing the web) appears to originate from the VPN itself, rather than your internet service provider (ISP). This masks your IP address, which can be an...
So basically, the reason I want one, is because Ontario has banned people from playing poker outside of Ontario, and it takes way to long to wait for games to start. Places like BC are stilling playing against people from all over the world. Will a VPN work for this?
Netflix used to do this, and possibly still does. Some websites blacklist known up addresses. However, I have never heard of internet providers blocking vpns.
Maybe. It depends on which country you will use. Some vpn providers give you a free trial period to see if their services are acceptable to you. Try them out.
I don't understand your response. Netflix isn't an IP. The original post was about IP's that don't let you use VPN's.

Netflix notes the IP address that is requesting service. In this case, it would be the ip address of the vpn you would be using. If that ip address belongs to a known vpn server, Netflix will block access to that ip address. You must mean ISP, not IP.

I thought IP and ISP were the same thing. Internet Provider or Internet Service Provider. Didn't realize there was a difference.

IP stands for internet protocol

Think of it as the postal system for the digital world. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how it works:
- Addressing: Just like houses have unique addresses, devices connected to the internet, such as computers or smartphones, are assigned unique IP addresses. These addresses consist of a series of numbers (e.g., 192.168.1.1).
- Routing: When you send data, like a web page request or an email, it gets broken into small packets. These packets are like individual letters in a larger message.
- Packet Forwarding: Your data packets aren't sent directly to their destination. They go through multiple routers and switches on the internet, similar to how letters pass through various post offices. Each router reads the packet's destination address and decides where to send it next.
- Destination: Finally, your data packets reach their destination, which could be a web server, an email server, or another device. The destination device reassembles the packets to reconstruct the original data.
- Reply: If necessary, the destination device sends a response. This response goes through the same process in reverse, reaching your device.
In a witty and creative sense, you can think of IP as the language that devices use to chat with each other in the vast digital realm. It's like giving each device its own secret handshake so they can share information across the internet's intricate network of tunnels, switches, and data highways. So, whether you're browsing the web or binge-watching cat videos, IP is the unsung hero making it all happen.
Brave browser and opera both have free VPN's included. If you're doing something illegal that you might actually be charged with then they're not the best. But if you're only trying to play poker watch a movie too then there fine
True and it is not only Netflix. If you suscribe to online sports apps like DAZN or FuboTV, then they also recognize your VPN IP and then alert you to either use another IP address or turn off the VPN.Netflix notes the IP address that is requesting service.
