Speed was good, unfortunately for my use case had some show stoppers. Pros: -It worked good on Linux. -Custom pricing plans (you can pick exactly which nodes you need and only pay for those) available month-to-month, makes it easy to try Cons: -Android app couldn't remain connected as I move from mesh WiFi pod to pod. It would think its connected still but I would have no internet connectivity until I manually reconnected the app. (Everytime I crossed my house I would have to manually reconnect). -No port forwarding (torrents) Ended up switching to airvpn. Use "openVPN for Android" which handles the mesh pods, and openvpn on Linux as well. Works perfectly. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] troglodytis@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Port forwarding is available with Windscribe.
