Do any of you subscribe to a VPN?
We do. Surfshark, down here is a good one. I don’t know if you need it, trust it, can afford it, whatever.
The reason I subscribed to a VPN is because there are different channels on the computer, on YT, Netflix, Disney+, etc., that we can’t get because we are not in the US.
Problem solved. For the most part.
Do you even know what a VPN is? For anyone that doesn’t, it’s a Virtual Private Network, meaning that the address your compute is using is not necessarily the one that the broadcasting company thinks it is.
When our VPN is active, (you can pause it anytime you want), it appears to the computer that we are in the US, and depending on the city I choose, we could be in any major city, in any state. Actually, if we want to, we can choose any major city, in any country around the world.
Once in awhile, I want to watch MasterChef US, but can’t without the VPN. The computer tells me that the episodes are not available due to blah, blah, blah. So, I activate the VPN, and what do you know?! The episodes are suddenly able for play.
Love it. I don’t use it for anything more than that at the moment, as I don’t feel it helps with the few things I do on the computer normally. Definitely not getting our money’s worth out of it, but am enjoying watching videos I would not otherwise be able to watch.
Until next we meet, stay happy, healthy, and safe. Wash, cover, and protect yourselves.
