1- I use NordVPN no issues so far.
2- Pretty straight forward i learned it myself.
3- they have monthly, yearly or two years plans
@AkomoCombine @99reasons4truth
Which is better between NordVPN and ProtonVPN?
@TwistedWhim i heard good things about Proton VPN also- havent used it yet though @99reasons4truth
@AkomoCombine @99reasons4truth
I use Proton but most people I see recommend NordVPN. I am just curious if I am missing something significant.
@TwistedWhim i doubt it. Depends on your needs- Nord does have built in malware scanner and data storage. Also meshnet where you can link your devices and share files across them. @99reasons4truth
@AkomoCombine @99reasons4truth
I am not sure Proton has a meshnet. They do have malware detection and a separate storage app.
@TwistedWhim @AkomoCombine @99reasons4truth
Imo you don't need all they whistles and bells features - all they do is uae up resources and can have a big impact of devices especially the mid/low range devices
They add they features and say it helps with security and stops malware etc.... Blah blah its basically nonsense and a sales tactic
A VPN should just be a vpn and stay in its lane 😆
@ecksmc yep agreed-
i use the VPN and malware detector. I dont use its meshnet. 🤣
@AkomoCombine lot of people think malware detection = their devices are being scanned for virus like a virus scanner app/software does
Thats not the case malware detection, or blocker, is just a layer of protection against malware it doesn't scan your device for malware
Misleading people in other words
@AkomoCombine yeah malwarebytes is a good app to use
Personally, again just my opinion, I dont have a virus scanner, or anything like that, you don't really need one constantly running on android just slows devices down imo as long as you're careful with what you instal and watch where you go online, files you download, etc...your gonna be safe
That said I do check devices haven't been infected from time 2 time just don't have a piece of software running 24/7
@ecksmc oh hell no! i dont run a virus scanner like Norton - F that. Im just careful where i step online.
@TwistedWhim @99reasons4truth
@AkomoCombine @TwistedWhim @99reasons4truth on while were on malwarebytes they also offer a vpn service via their app
I do use malwarebytes browser guard on chrome which is free and worth using imo
Yeah all they "virus protection" app were usful and necessary like years ago before Android had security features but virus protection apps just went overboard with features over the years features folk don't actually need lol
Some OSes virus scanner software is deffo needed, looking at Windows 😆
@ecksmc @AkomoCombine @99reasons4truth
Imo, windows is a virus more than an os.
@ecksmc oh i use Malwarebytes for protection- Nord malware scanner is just on when i login to VPN. @TwistedWhim @99reasons4truth
