Updates tagged with vpn on Hacker Poesy!
lnxw48a1: Whatever update $EMPLOYER installed a few days ago, it took 20 minutes to get logged in and connected to the #VPN today. With the older laptops, that wasn't unusual, but these ones run much faster.

lnxw48a1: I remember contacting #VPN provider #PIA (Private Internet Access) to cancel my account months ago. Today, I get a message from them telling me that they won't try to charge my (prepaid gift) card next week when the account actually expires. Yeah, there's a reason why I do things that way.

lnxw48a1: I think the #VPN issues are largely resolved. Now, do I want to deal with the $EMPLOYER laptop this evening?

lnxw48a1: On my cellphone ( AT&T #ATT_Wireless ), there's some weird proxy that interacts badly with this instance's security settings. I'm attempting to figure it out, but I might have to use a #VPN every time I'm away from #Wi-Fi until I figure it out. This never happened with #Sprint.

lnxw48a1: This is supposed to be $EMPLOYER day, but they're in the third consecutive day of #VPN issues. While it may not affect me (I won't find that out until I attempt to connect), this is happening week after week.

lnxw48a1: http://status.hackerposse.com/url/21496 It sounds like their claims are a little inflated. Able to bypass deep packet inspection? Not likely, though their techniques may temporarily evade the pattern matching that leads to URL blocks. If $ISP does not block #VPN, that might be a better option than #GreenTunnel.

lnxw48a1: I am not sure whether it is #Win10 or the #VPN, but one of the two is having a little trouble today. Downloading updates is really dragulent today. (Dragulent as in "slow and draggy".)

lnxw48a1: Ad: “Over-55 Singles in [my town’s name]” Hmm. I don’t go to AARP or arthritis / constipation / geriatric medicine sites, so I think they’re just shooting in a dark room as far as age goes. Maybe I’ll have to keep the #VPN engaged, even from $HOME, to deflect the other part.

lnxw48a1: LOL. I doubt I'll use it now. I created an account on a second-tier webmail service for a particular need. Immediately after creation, they blocked me from using it. I asked why and the reply said something about "Abuse Dept" ... it took me a few days to figure it out: I was using #hotel_Wi-Fi, and of course, #VPN. They decided that meant I had ill intentions.

lnxw48a1: It is mostly okay using the #Android tablet on my hotspot (no #VPN) when I’m out of high speed data. Everything works, just slowly. The #iOS tablet is on the supposedly faster #hotel_Wi-Fi (with VPN) and some things work intermittently, if at all. Before you ask, yes, I did try putting the iPad on the hotspot without the VPN. No improvement.

lnxw48: So I bought a prepaid #hotspot, but most of the time in the places I'm staying, cell coverage is so poor that it won't connect or it connects only at exceedingly slow speeds. #hotel_inet (whether #hotel_wifi or the occasionally available Ethernet port) is usually hideously bad, even before the #VPN connects.
