SpyVPN: The Google-Featured VPN That Secretly Captures Your Screen | Koi Blog

Most people turn to a VPN for one reason: privacy. And with its verified badge, featured placement, and 100k+ installs, FreeVPN.One looked like a safe choice. But once it’s in your browser, it’s not working to keep you safe, it’s continuously watching you.
Never use VPN add-ons for your browser. Unless you get them along with your paid VPN. You should run your entire network through the VPN, not just a browser.
Do you not run into issues doing this? I'm constantly having to split my VPN or disable my VPN for certain logins to work, such as banks, government sites and shit.
Most people don't need to run everything though a VPN. That just slows everything down. You would normally only use them to access resources on a private LAN such as when working from home or accessing your self hosted services when away from home.
Seperate browser for Clearnet /KYC
For example "mullvad-exclude trivalent"
I actually go further and have seperate VMs with different networks (VPN1, VPN2, whonix, i2p, or clearnet
That way split tunneling feature Is not needed and I can have 2 mullvad clients on lockdownmode connected at once
For some games and websites I have to turn it off yeah. Or at least switch the server to one that isn't blocked.
It's a shame that websites are allowed to track and block VPNs.
That's why I temporarily disable it for some websites
Unfortunately that means disabling my entire network VPN anytime I need to bypass a VPN block. And also makes switching between different servers significantly more complicated.
I use my paid vpn extension (Nord) to select a Country for twitch.tv which isn't served ads. However I would all my traffic go through that specific vpn as it causes trouble with other appe/pages. So being able to cnveniently switch my IP per domain is pretty nice sometimes.
Curious, what country doesn't get twitch ads?
It is a paid VPN luckily though. The issue is with "free" VPN browser add-ons.
There's also different adblocker rules and extensions for twitch ads.
Not to be confused with "Tor Browser" (not a VPN, just providing clarification)
