u sure about that? I used a "reliable" VPN once and had crazy drops and slow speeds all the time lol. sometimes even the big names ain't as solid as they make out to be. imho u gotta test it urself before trusting those uptime claims, bruh.
careful with assuming everyone's experience is the same lol. I actually set up VPN on my router w/o much fuss, used some online guides and it worked fine. People make it sound way harder than it is sometimes, might just be luck tho. I prefer it over apps tbh, just feels more consistent.
yo u ever try it like a year ago? i swear back then it was kinda fire but now? feels like trying to catch smoke. one day it hits, next day it's dead as hell lol. i dunno bruh, maybe i just got unlucky but yeah, imho dead rn.
bruh lol that's so typical. u get hyped about some cheap proxy and then ur data gets all jacked up. imho always do a proper test first, don't trust the hype straight away. been there, done that, learned my lesson lmao
if u wanna test speed more consistently, try using a tool like oxylabs. it has real-time rotating proxies and API speed checks built in, so u get more accurate readings without havin to manually refresh. just my 2c, bruh. lmao
careful with free VPNs bruh, like 70% of em log ur data or sell it lol. heard some even inject ads or slow ur connection by 50% just to keep the lights on. people forget u get what u pay for and most free VPNs just hide stuff from u not protect u. risk ain't worth the free ride, trust.
different angle: u ever think maybe the reason it feels like a waste is cuz ur not targeting the right links? like maybe u just finding dead links but not the ones worth replacing? idk lol
try testing ur VPN speed at different times of day bruh, it can change a lot. also, check multiple servers in different regions, not just one spot. lol
honestly actually, just a heads up, in ur title u said "responses" twice. kinda confusing lol. maybe u meant "response" or "responses" but not both? small typo but might make ppl think u don't proofread ur stuff. i was gonna reply with a tip but u already beat me to it. lmao
last month i tried scaling a bit and same thing happened, bruh. the more i spend, the less i get back and it's like the offers just shut down or sumthin. feels like they got some kinda throttle or just don't wanna give u the same flow lol. ur not alone on this, it's kinda wild how fast stuff...
careful with old guides, fr. I set up a Pi VPN a while back and thought everything was good but the kill switch never engaged cause of some routing issues after disconnects. spent hours messing with iptables and rules just to realize the routing table was jacked. gotta double-check that stuff...
been doing this 3 years and honestly, i saw networks hide stats and push shady traffic more often than u think. like, once i caught a network dodging audits and hiding conversions, it was sketchy as hell. so yeah, gotta watch out for that stuff. lol
