Only essential issues, please

Well G DATA was short term install, still not stable.

Switched to :

, i know i made a lot of negative comments about it, but since i have a license , why not use it.

So far no issues , works well with NordVPN.

And did a complete fresh installation of Windows 11, so no traces of any other old AV.
 
Dumped NordVPN, i got a 2 years subscription for free, but :

  • Slow as hell to boot/start up
  • Why Single Sign on thru Website ? ( this is slow and mostly will not work )
  • Connection drops all the time
  • The app is not very smart

Bought 2 years subscription of Bitdefender VPN, which i used before.

What servers and how many is BD VPN connecting to? Try going to ipleak.net to see. I know at one time they were using Google servers, but I don't know if it's changed since the last time I used it. There was also talk about them setting up their own servers, but I don't know if that's happened yet.
