Hey

 

I've been following linus since the very first beginning on youtube. NCIX and 'camera guy'
And to be honest, i value his word. I can say i bought several items, because he recommended it.

So after some thought i decided to get myself a decent VPN connection.
Got myself PIA. (Cause Tunnelbear just went darkside in march 2018)

 

Did the installation, payed for it.
Setup my vpn which was very easy. Got myself connected through vpn in another country (DUH).
Because of this action, my google acc (which i basically use for everything) went banana's.
Google noticed i logged into my acc from another country and blocked it all, i had to reassure them that some weird IP adress (i presume its a PIA IP adress in that specific country) is actually 'me'.

 

I thought i would be connecting every day to another country.
But it seems that would be a lot of google warnings.
So how does it work?
I just choose one country throught the PIA VPN and stick with it?
I assume PIA encrypts all my data throught their vpn in that other country.

 

Can someone with a bit of experience explain it?

Thanks.

There are a list of servers that you can connect to manually or automatically. I have about 5 US servers favorited so that it always autoconnects to one of those 5 specifically.
