Experience of ViewQwest with Freedom VPN

[CaptainBullus]

Good to know it works via PS3. Do you stream from laptop to Apple TV using Airplay? and this is using VQ Freedom VPN?

Aye.

I don't have VQ but another VPN;

Should mention that although Viewquest calls it a Vpn, it's actually nothing like a typical VPN ....

On the plus side though, their service handles all countries at the same time where a regular VPN would require you to connect to appropriate country, one at a time.

Is that actually a good thing, all countries at the same time? Seems strange.

I would at least like the option of being able to choose my tunnel, but there must be benefits to have all-on at once.

It's not actually a tunnel, that's why. They just selectively proxy the sites they list as supporting to appropriate countries. As said, it's not a VPN. They're just calling it that because they accomplish one of the things many people purchase Vpns for - bypassing geo-blocks for streaming.

I hate proxies, whats the point in providing 200Mbps or more when all the traffic is being proxied?

As you have noticed, we run a pretty tight ship here. Our regulars prefer it that way (although makes it harder on the Mods, but the regulars pitch in to keep it clean). Thanks for understanding. - Moderator
