Based Mullvad, once again

I really wish I could use them but it never works with my streaming services. I've had to stick to Proton or NordVPN for reliable streaming :(

[–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 2 points 28 minutes ago

Even proton is super exposed to the web, I hate nord but they're the only one I've ever used where you barely ever get captchas or broken apps

Have you tried all the extra settings they have to bypass blockers? There’s a lot of ways to change things to get it to work.

It's probably been a year or so since I've given Mullvad another try, so maybe it's time I do that soon.

something that works for me is trying different servers until one gets through, i.e. it's not in the site's blocklist. Then I favorite that server and use it whenever I need that particular site

If only they allowed port forwarding

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 hour ago

When I read the post about that, my guess was that Mullvad would quickly work in it. I am happy to have been right.

Wuuut?!!

EDIT: calm down, no panic needed

[–] Abyssian@lemmy.world 22 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

You're not the boss of me, I'll panic if I want to.

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 13 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah man it's your party, you can panic if you want to.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 12 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

You would panic too if it happened to you

And now I have a pavlovian urge to dance. Thanks Richie Simmons

[–] Abyssian@lemmy.world 10 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You can dance if you want to.

[–] pressedhams@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You can leave your friends behind.

[–] ItsNotImportant24@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 hour ago

Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance, well they're no friends of mine
