If the former (which I assume) then I'll send you the link to the guys I use when I get home. Costs $36/year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21579 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Well I had to look up what this abbreviation stands for, thought it might be something to do with visible panties or something. After looking it up, not sure I'm wrong either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4377 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 As Rayvin suggests, the terms have become a bit misused.  Businesses use VPNs to use the Internet to be able to login in to an internal network remotely with associated encryption and controls.  Proxy servers use the concept of me connecting to a server in Sweden or wherever so I can use the pirate bay without interference. I suppose the term could be used as the login to the remote server is probably via a VPN but it's the subsequent IP masking that's the main aim rather than the login.  Clearer Renton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35062 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I was thinking about getting a proxy after it being recommended after installing Covenant (i.e. newer version of Exodus). Is it really necessary / likely I'll get a letter about copyright infringement etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4377 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) I used to use a vpn/proxy I got with giganews but they suspended my account for downloading copyrighted material via BT. This would have been TV and films as they had no problem with the terabytes of porn I downloaded from newsgroups. After a couple of suspensions I dropped the entire account. This suggests they were monitoring the actual use of the proxy which defeats the point.  I'm not sure regarding Kodi as I only stream rather than download - not sure if they care. Edited August 8, 2017 by NJS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, cheers. It's fairly cheap but, like I say, I'm not convinced it's needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I use my proxy for streaming - too risky not too now IMO. All the tech savvy guys I know switched to proxies some time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
