If I could get a VPS for $2/mo for something like this, I would definitely swap off of my VPN provider. If you do a ‘build your own plan’ with Windscribe, it’s $2/month for me, and they easily saturate my symmetrical gigabit connection. Anything close to that price is usually an incredibly small amount of metered bandwidth comparatively. This month I’ve used something like 30tb worth of bandwidth without blinking an eye.
Nobody mad. Didn’t hurl an insult at you, didn’t crawl in the mud with you and act like a child. But you couldn’t stand your own ignorance, and you had to lash out because you didn’t understand. Tried explaining it to you, and you doubled down. No reason for me to be mad at you wanting to remain ignorant.
I thought MAGA were as dumb as you could get, but here you are proving me wrong. Way to go. The bar was pretty low and you still couldn’t step over it.
You have no clue whatsoever how internet security works, do you… and also anyone who has used a VPN will tell you that this is how it works. The instant you’re behind a VPN, you’re part of a block of IP addresses which are generally reserved for datacenter usage.
There’s some exceptions to this, as some VPNs are kinda shady and route through residential IP addresses, but a lot of the time when someone is trying to get around an IP ban, region lock, etc – they’re going to use VPNs. So companies the world over block VPN IP ranges by default for that very reason.
This is why you get the captcha requirements, this is why you’re clicking pictures of busses non-stop.
Doesn’t happen to me, but I don’t browse behind a VPN. People behind VPNs get this usually because lots of bad actors also hide behind VPNs.
Most users on Lemmy are Delusional. especially here in /c/Technology – turns out, this community isn’t for technology at all, but rather for bitching about silicon valley companies.
Can we get some actual tech related news please? This is just politics OF a tech company, not tech itself.
I mean, what is “Aether” in a historical/classical context? Would that fit?
Edit: I guess not. Aether seems to be more like…‘dark matter’ or ‘gravity’ than electricity.
