VPN:s still working?

It comes and goes. Disruptions do seem a bit more frequent, and more server hopping is required. Sometimes I have been bumped almost immediately I change server, but switching router on and off again (reconnects DNS) seems to fix that.

The problems of the past couple of days are not the norm. At the moment I’ve been lucky if it connects and that’s been when I’ve fiddled about with protocols. Even then when I manage to get it working it will only last a little while before all goes down again :o(
Definitely a crackdown eh? Using express myself.

Another thing seems to help for five minutes if using phone is to just go airplane mode for ten seconds then try again.

Probably resets a few things but doesn’t last.

Yes, I think there is targeting of particular vpns. I am using a different one, and had a similar problem a week or so ago. Sometimes only on for a few seconds, but mine has settled down now.

I have had problems with ExpressVPN for weeks now in have given up on it for the time being, but there's a good chance this has mostly had to with my own stupidity and impatience with having interactions with the pedantic A-hole unimaginative and rigid humorless character of computershit generally - 0/1 my ass...

@alienew problem with express is that it’s probably the most popular one to use in China, so they’ll target it every time.

Just downloaded and started using wife’s as never heard of it. It works fine lol

I wish to add the word 'post-human' to my description of computershit above.
Then, of course, there's the added problem of control-freakery, which we should remember is a human problem, but now exacerbated by Internet technology in the service of the Power-hierarchy....

@alien I used ExpressVPN for many years but about six months ago it stopped being reliable (I am in the US). Switched to ipvanish

@Geezer
Can you access Chinese sites like Youku, Tudou, etc. with this VPN from the U.S.?
