Alright, I gotta vent a bit here. So I decided to give a dedicated IP VPN a shot, thinking cool, I get a static IP for better stability and maybe some added security. First use case, streaming geo-restricted content thought it'd be smooth, right? Nope. Still got blocks on Netflix US even with a dedicated IP. Tried switching regions, still the same crap. Then torrenting, expected a big boost in privacy but nope, VPN still got flagged for some reason. Honestly, feels like it's just a marketing gimmick for most providers. Sure, a dedicated IP can help with certain business setups but for the average Joe wanting geo-unblocking or some peace of mind? YMMV. The whole thing feels like paying extra for a feature that doesn't really deliver. Anyone else been burned by this or just me? Just tired of throwing cash at these "premium" options that end up being meh.
