May 30, 20187 yr I know absolutely nothing about VPN's but I am considering setting one up for my house. Not a tin foil hat type person but I'd like the extra layer of privacy. My internet/wifi is from ATT if that matters. Are they worth it? Do they work? What do I need to know and what is the best way to set one up? Any suggestions are appreciated.
May 30, 20187 yr avatar explains a lot. just my amateur take - i use them on a device by device basis rather than my whole home network. i've heard a vpn can sometimes be problematic with services uch as netflix, so i like the ability to be able to control it on an as-needed basis.
May 30, 20187 yr also, i use ip vanish mainly because it was on sale and right in front of me. here's a list from cnet: https://www.cnet.com/best-vpn-services-directory/
June 25, 20187 yr I was about to start a new thread and found this one.Anyone else have thoughts? Are they worth it? Just someone else tracking your shit? Which ones are good, not good, etc?

Which ones are good, not good, etc? Do you have something to hide? If so, yes, it's an added layer of security. Defense in depth, if you will. ***VPNs do not turn off internet cookie tracking***

June 28, 20187 yr Yeah reddit mlbstreams is easy to use for Stros games. I've used CyberGhost in the past and had no problems with them. I'm thinking of cancelling all of the hulu/Netflix/Prime shit and just using CyberGhost for P2P stuff.
