bbabythai Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I'm currently using the Swiss based VPN called 'Proton'. But it constantly causes my laptop to hang. When I open my laptop proton tries to re-open and theres a bug. I open the app and it says 'proton not responding'. I quit the app but chrome does not work. Its a wind up to be honest. I want a VPN that not based in the good old United states of America and one that does not keep logs. Its not so important but if you also use one that I can pay in crypto currency I would be interested. I have tried before 'Express vpn' and Nord..... But they also have annoying messages. For example if I try to shut down my laptop theres a message 'do you want to shut down xxxx vpn'. I want a quality user friendly and robust VPN. I will not consider any free VPNs thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HB9CPW Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Hi, NordVPN works perfect on Android phone and Win10-PC, i don't receive any unwanted messages. Will renew the contract because it's fast and no dropouts. Regards, Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I've been using Ivacy (Singapore based I believe), loads of servers around the world, pretty fast, solutions for many devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlover Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I've been using 'My Expat Network' for 15 years now. I first signed up when I was in China and since then in Egypt and now here. It is totally reliable and once you've enabled it, you would hardly be aware that it is operating. Visit their home page right here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably Windows asking that as it knows there are apps running. You only need to click on YES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I can recommend PureVPN. You can select several different contrives to use for the VPN. Note it is not free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistral53 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I am also using Proton VPN for the last 4 months - I have absolutely no problems whatsoever, very solid. This sounds more like a settings problem on your side. I used VPR VPN before and had way more issues, it also having twice the ping time as Proton. The only part I don't like about Proton VPN is the lack of Thai based servers, but Singapore is faster than what I had with Thai servers with VPR.

MrJ2U Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 VPN's are always going to bog you down. Unless you're doing something against the law why bother? Streaming pirated movies isn't really going be a problem here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worgeordie Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I use Browsec (paid version) and have done for several years, it's based in Russia, that's OK for me, some of these other well know brands of VPN 's are owned by Chinese companies, so.... Its so easy to use, its an app in the browser, just click it on ,or leave it on, I have tried other's and they. were not so easy to use . regards worgeordie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browsec VPN - Free VPN for Chrome Quote How does Browsec make money? How does it make money? The simple answer is the same as Mozilla Firefox. Google receives money from advertisers but, instead of paying out search royalties to other browsers, the money is transferred to the Chrome part of Google. Chrome makes money by saving Google royalty expenses Edited August 21, 2021 by IvorBiggun2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante99 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Proton working well for me. Did have some problems similar to yours but did a complete uninstall and emptied caches, then reinstalled and all was fine. I think it was the cached stuff causing problems.
