What is Reddit's opinion of StrongVPN?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

And Sega Genesis had things like wireless controller, online play, CDs, motion control, a library of downloadable content, and the Dreamcast was one of the first home video game systems to be able to play online.

Problem was the ideas were there but the tech was not.

Before the iPhone, most mobile device screens were not capacitive touch, and included a stylus. And the OS was clunky, and almost required a stylus. Remember Windows Mobile 6? That was a horrible OS compared to how simple iOS was. I mean remember that this was a 2.8 inch screen (HTC Tilt), and we needed to hit the start button and then the programs. And this was a resistive touch screen (HTC Tilt).

And the HTC Tilt and the first iPhone were only 1 year apart.

Apple, while not an innovator, was very good at packaging products and dumbing them down for the public.

My site should work well :P but there are lots of great free VPN sites out there, personally one I've used is https://strongvpn.com which has a New York location.

Here's a free one, I am sure it would also work well: http://vpnip.net/america-vpn/

After a while, i followed from the link below. Did upto stage 13. Didnt do dns or anything. Internet is fine. What is my ip shows static ip provided by aaisp. Now the real problem is 1. I cant connect router to static ip although it shows on google my ip 2 after rebooting router l2tp never connects then i have to reset all and start again https://strongvpn.com/setup-mikrotik-6-l2tp/

My main purpose for static ip on router is i can have access remotely and 4g isp wont do any nat. Please help me out. Thanks

If your VPN "concentrator" is not on your router then you will need to mess with routing tables to avoid asymmetric routing or worse. It gets a little more complicated if IPSEC is involved but you mention OpenVPN and L2TP.

For starters, OpenVPN is supported on pretty much every device known to mankind. Try this: https://strongvpn.com/setup-ios-10-openvpn.html

I suggest you ditch L2TP in favour of OpenVPN. OVPN has a huge user base and has a very active development community. L2TP needs something like IPSEC bolted on to be properly secure and can be a right bugger to setup. If it helps I seem to recall that the Netherlands's govt did/sponsored a code review of OpenVPN and now use it for their VPN requirements (Google .... https://openvpn.fox-it.com/). Anyway OpenVPN is much more flexible and works very well because it is simply routed traffic and uses SSL/TLS which is very, very well tested (have a look in your browser right now and note the green thing notifying https is in use: that's TLS!)

If you have OpenVPN working then the only thing I would suggest is having one that listens on port 443/tcp. That will look exactly like an https website, to a packet filter firewall, rather than a VPN. That means that it will generally be looked on kindly by most networks. Very handy if you need to appear to be at home rather than where you really are.

Solving problems with blocked sites (from https://strongvpn.com)

You might want to make sure you do the following if you are still unable to see geographically censored websites such as Wikipedia, Facebook and others.

1) Are you on Windows 7 and using OpenVPN?

Please note - Make sure you start OpenVPN as Administrator, do this by right clicking on the OpenVPN software and choose "Run as Administrator" it then should allow you to surf as expected.

(before you do this make sure to exit out of the software all the way)

2) Make sure you have cleared your cache on your browser. Previous attempts will still be read on your browser and cause the same error page to come up. If you are unsure how to clear your cache on your browser, google it by typing "How to clear browser cache on Firefox" (or Internet Explorer).

3) If you have previously configured a proxy/socks for your browser, clear it.

4) Check and see if your security software blocked the sites. Sometimes this will happen.

5) Change your time zone - we have seen some sites read your time zone and this can have an effect.

6) Change your DNS to ours - As described here:

To change your DNS to ours for VPN do the following:

Go into Network Connections Right Click on the VPN connection, choose Properties Click the Networking Tab Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Click Properties Then choose the radio button "Use the following DNS server addresses:"

and put the following numbers in:

216.131.95.20 216.131.94.5

• !! Do this for all connected Network Connections

7) If you still can't see it, you could try another location in USA, it might be a particular issue with the IP.

8) For Mac's please also clear DNS cache by doing the following:

check and make sure - All traffic over VPN - enabled

then enter in the terminal

for OLD version of MacOS: lookupd -flushcache

in the Mac OS Leopard: dscacheutil -flushcache
