I used to be very into high tech and computer stuff but over the years I've let a lot go. I could not believe how much had changed when I simply wanted to get a good TV last year. It was mind boggling. Now, I'd like to get a VPN and although there is a TON of info on the net, and lots of options, I have no clue which to purchase. I would like to be able to keep using Netflix and APrime, and now understand that they might be blocked when using a VPN. Also, I have an Orbi set up (thanks to recommendations here) and I see where you can set this up on the router. Sounds like the smart move to me, but I really don't know. So my question: Does anyone here have good recommendations not only on what VPN service to get, but the best way to install it so all devices in the house are covered? Or should I just put it on my laptop and call it a day? Thanks in advance! And yeah, it sucks getting old.
The Orbi has an option to buy bitdefender and install it on the router and unlimited clients. That covers Tablets, Computers, and Phones. That comes with 200m/month VPN service with geo switching capabilities.
Bitdefender also offers a standalone VPN service that is about $50 a year. BitDefender VPN
I have had some friend that have used Witopia and spoke highly of it.
there are times I have to turn it off as certain website linked from google will not connect and some work email needs to know where I am located.
Thus why I like locally.
Agree Orbi is great!
You can then make your upstream DNS server something like Smart DNS Proxy that can be used to unblock geo blocked things.
Now I'm grandpa Simpson, yelling at them to fix the VCR.
