I have a lifetime VPN I use for testing called Windscribe. It was very cheap on special at StackSocial.Com.

I have a number of websites I manage and limit access by blocking certain countries. This allows me to test if certain locations are blocked.

Also, on occasion there will be issues where I cannot access my sites or email. For example, recently there were issues accessing Chicago from Hawaii as one of the carriers had equipment issues. I was able to use the VPN to route my traffic from New York and get the mail that way, bypassing the bad connections from Chicago to the west.

Jerryh,

Got time for dumb questions? I paid for two years, downloaded, installed, and then connected to the VPN. My IP addy changes when connected vs dis-connected, so I “think” It’s working.

What now? Looked all over the help and got nothing. I have 8 tabs open in Chrome so when connected, does that mean all the tabs are now working via the VPN?

Or those tabs remain as they were, and I must open a new tab and now that one is on the VPN?

As you can see, this is my first attempt with VPN so a complete novice

I am new as well.

I am currently in Scotland. When I disconnected here, it no longer shows a US location, but rather Great Britain. However, when you wish to reconnect, simply go to “locations”, choose a city in the US of your preference.

Hope that helps!

Oh wow, I envy you!

I know how to connect. My Q is:
1-once connected, are all open tabs connected?
or
2-once conneted, I need to open a new tab?

many thanks
