Wonder how many NVDA users use a VPN and if it adds any problems when

That expressvpn client use to give me so many annoying issues it was
find once I got connected but still. If it has gotten better good on
them. A lot of these clients are rage inducing.

The usual advice is to use the OpenVPN client instead--it works with many
VPNs
in place of their own software, and is supposed to be more accessible.

I tried using Express VPN last year but its client was very hard to navigate with NVDA. I figured out how to connect to a VPN but it connected to only one in the whole time I used it whereas I was hoping to choose from a range of available servers.

I let my Express VPN account lapse when my year's membership expired.

All controls on the Express VPN window were not labelled ... there were at least five "button" buttons. I did speak to their tech support team about this but they were not much help ... I'm not sure they really understood what screen reading software was :(

I want to get  VPN . . . I like my privacy.

To be honest, there are only 4 or so reasons to get a vpn.

1.  you work in public networks constantly or places where you want to
be secure.

2.  you want to avoid geoblocking for netflicks or something.

3.  for business things you do.

4.  you want to be a scam bater or hacker or something.

5.  you want to do torrents and pirate stuff.

I have rarely needed one.

I don't do it for business, but my brother does.

Geo blocks to for somethings.

Since its basically alegal, torrents well say no more.

I don't pirate so I don't need it.

Giles that was pretty much my experience with express vpn, it was
pretty fast though. Just the windows client sucked. Now I use
VPNSecure. It works will enough for connecting and disconnecting from
different servers

Hi.

For what it's worth, I've just signed up with express VPN. I've created
shortcuts on my desktop to automatically connect and disconnect from my
preferred servers. Each country only has a few locations to choose from
but it seems to be working fine for what I need if used via open VPN.
downloading their config files isn't hard and neither is configuring the
open VPN client to connect/disconnect automatically. I can put
instructions on list on how you can automate connections if anyone wants
them, this would work with any VPN that supports open VPN.

Cheers,

Mo.
