BoingBoing’s $39 offer for lifetime proXPN seemed like the ticket and I bought it. What’s the reality?
My Time Warner internet is 50Mps download - proXPN mostly delivers 2-12Mps. If I experiment, connecting to their different servers (Chicago, NYC, Miami,) especially during ‘off’ hours it can jump to 36Mps, but checking download speed again a few minutes later usually shows it’s back at the 2-12Mps speed. Their tech support dances around the truth of what is actually going on. Their software can’t just launch the service on booting without the app launching also. It’s got an option to launch without the app but that doesn’t work.
50Mps yeilds 2-3Mps service. I wish I’d known.
