What about phone battery on mobile?
which one do you recommend? i tried mullvad paid with btc, but found it slow and got blocked more. proton seems to work better.
No significant impact
Using Mullvad for years
Unfortunately, many sites completely block you out for using a VPN. It's an awful practice, but it happens.
I use Proton, but it's free so we're the product, I hear all Proton vpn traffic goes through a centralised service, so it's technically not fully private.....apparently
they have a paid tier. it's supposed to be faster.
Happens to me like once in 3 months
Use Mullvad
There are countless examples where this doesn't work.
My bank blocks Mullvad.
I've been doing it for years.
None of my banks does.
Well, one of three of mine does.
Just ai'd it, apparently Proton uses cloudflare to route vpn traffic in circumstances where their own servers are unavailable, so ultimately as calle said. Mullvad is the way
Good to know
Great tip. Mullvad for the win
I try to do this, and yes using Mullvad, but there are certain apps and sites that always block the IPs
Noted
I'm blocked from reddit and I'm so much better for it
Tailscale all the things, with Mullvad exit nodes.
Calle is working to make banks obsolete
....And when VPN is blocked, use a ressidential proxy over VPN...😬
Better to pay with bitcoin (LN) anyway.
Look into Obscura.
(Disclaimer: am tiny investor, but that’s cause I like it)
I'd say about 1/4 of the sites I use block it. Some of these sites are for work / business.
*unless you're using ssh to communicate with any device on your local network.
gotta retry it then and play with the config i guess.
It detects that, no need to turn it off.
🤔 ive never had one on. ok i turned mine on.
i know im muted, it's ok calle
i saw on the mutable thing
Thanks for this comment. I didn't realise it was possible, but I checked the settings on Mullvad and turned 'local network sharing' on.
Muchos Gracias!

This is why NWC or LNC is cool when you want to reach your distant LN node compared to Tailscale or Orbot. No need to turn off your working VPN.

Of course, if it’s available to use.
Yes, but his OP doesn’t work across the board. Plenty of services block or restrict when they know you’re connected to a VPN
mine has ON since 2017 ☺️
