When I used Proton or Mullvad I usually had to switch it on and off when needed because of so many issues with sites/games/etc. blocking me. However, the last deal I picked up was for NordVPN and that one I’ve been able to leave connected at all times without any issue.

I will never ever use Nord or any company that floods every yt channel with sponsored ads

You’re seeing ads on YT? oO
Show threadHootinNHollerinMay 27
The ones the channel themselves have. Sponsor block doesn’t work all the time either if you’re referring to that

Ah, okay. I guess plenty of podcasts and sponsored stuff do include those.

I’m just using vanilla AdBlock for non-Chrome browser to view mainly shorts. Thanks for explaining.

Bro Mullvad has split tunneling for applications you can just do that. Mullvad is superior in every possible way to NordVPN. I mean most VPNs today do a solid job but Mullvad is peak for more reasons than you can shake a stick at.

Split tunneling is not a fix if I need to be in another country to stream the content that I want.

I’ve tried Mullvad multiple times and it’s my favorite for privacy but thats secondary to getting access to the content I want. That’s a personal decision, and I’m not saying it’s the right one for everyone.
