user555 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 In the office the Wireless network is not encrypted (password filled in the browser). Can using VPN at the office provide me with a safe connection? If so, is there a VPN service you recommend for Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandrabbit Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 The latest version of Chrome now has a built in vpn although there are no UK servers included in the list of servers the last time I looked. Some corporate networks don't allow you to use your own vpn, I've been kicked from a network and have had to have the IT department reset my login when I've tried to use a vpn over a customers network.

hansnl Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I use ExpressVPN for 3 years now. Works fine on the desktop, on the mobile, and simultaneously. It is not a free service, but servers all over the world. Also works on 3G. Did I mention the service if you have problems is very helpful?

I use Identity Cloaker and have been for about 8 yrs and it's allowed me to bypass censorship in China, Egypt, Iran & Venezuela plus a few others plus it has a great range of countries where the servers are located.

Does uTorrent goes over this VPN? What exactly do you want ? I'm confused that the need for an encrypted line. How much do you want to spend and where do you want to end up? I have a 500GB seedbox in France for torrents and I run a VPN client on my MacBook to my server because some apartments / hotels won't allow me to access the server. It's not a lot of good it you want a node in the UK but it allows me to maintain a ratio on a few private trackers. It costs me 500B a month.

Caxa Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Hi, I've used the free version of Cyberghost for ages. (The free version has a few spoilers to persuade you to pay, but you don't have to). It has many servers including UK and USA. http://www.cyberghostvpn.com/en_us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sendintheclowns Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I'm with 'Confused'.... everybody has different circumstances and different needs. So, backing up, why does the OP need VPN at work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tengtai Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I use PIA, https://www.privateinternetaccess.com and it works just fine. I pay $6.95/m and it's worth every cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user555 Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Quote So, backing up, why does the OP need VPN at work? @sendintheclowns The Wifi there is open, and I simply want to securely use services and apps such as: Google, finances, and other web services.

recom273 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Rude <deleted>Can using VPN at the office provide me with a safe connection? Yes, of course it can any web search could have revealed the answer.If so, is there a VPN service you recommend ?Yes, people have suggested plenty for free .. Can you use them for torrenting? - No, they are used for watching TV.You need an VPN with an OpenVPN key and you use a VPN client on your computer.What's the best VPN for you? One that provides this.What happened to the ability of explaining yourself properly in the first place .. Paranoid or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user555 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hi, thanks everyone. My question was simply about using web services over open Wifi Networks, And if the security concern can be answered by VPN. Thanks for your answers everyone. Matter solved :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Is it your business? If so, feel free to use risky behaviour. If it isn't, ask your IT people and play by the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeptic7 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 PIA...Private Internet Access. $40 USD/yr. Excellent VPN and cheap compared to most. Secure and has auto-connect, which usually connects to a Singapore server here in Thailand...or has many countries to manually choose from. Excellent product, easy to use and great value!
