Seriously, I'm so confused. I run a VPN all the time and don't have any issues with my Apps not working. I'm just wondering how bad their config is.
Discussion
websites sure
but apps just not functioning?
nah
I haven't even had many issues with websites. I would say 95% work just fine. And the only apps that don't like the VPN are Hulu and Paramount.
yeah 95% is accurate
i had a mobile phone refill company block me recently
and occasionally services will put your account on the "restricted" list until you make a fuss
Also, check if your VPN is leaking traffic. execute this command when connected to your VPN. curl —interface eth0 (your interface, check with „ifconfig“) https://google.com
If this command times out, you are fine, if you get a response, you’re leaking traffic, i.e your IP is public.
