Did you manage it in the end?
Btw a quick heads up in case you don’t know. I saw someone else mention that vpn as well. Looked it up and it seemed a bit too good to be true with it being free and residential IPs. Well, here’s the catch: they add your ip address into the pool that everyone uses with the app on your PC (it’s mentioned in their faq).
You might just be doing something innocuous, like loading up your psn. But there’ll be people doing dodgy stuff, illegal activities or spam and it’s potentially going through your network and you’re responsible for that. Very dangerous.
I saw someone mention they got blocked from accessing many websites from their regular internet (suspected AWS ban), and that’s when they found out about the catch and found terabytes of data used up through their network.
Not even the worst case scenario, but it’s easy to imagine and quite probable gmails/email accounts, various social media, etc, getting banned as people use those for spam activities. Especially with your IP being UK which is more desired by spammers than most other countries.
Uninstall the program ASAP. Not close to worth the risk.
If your IP is dynamic, I’d also switch it out after. Some internet service providers change your IP after you turn your router off for 10-20 mins or however long. Check how it is for yours.
Which vpn did you end up using?
Just some random one from the play store called free vpn, it has a unicorn as the logo. Someone recommended it to me. You can watch multiple ads to get to use it, or do what I did and do the free Google play 7 day trial to avoid the ads (and immediately cancel the sub so it doesn’t charge you in a week).
Worked for me first try. Added funds, then subbed.
Alright. Thanks man!
