Xbox is pretty much like the PS5 when it comes to VPNs since you can’t just install VPN apps directly on the console. I’m trying to use one on my Series X mostly for accessing region locked Game Pass stuff and switching between store regions.

I’ve been looking at providers like NordVPN, ExpressVPN, and Surfshark because they all support router setups for Xbox. I also noticed some people prefer using Smart DNS instead of a full VPN since it usually keeps speeds a bit faster.

For anyone already doing this on Xbox, what setup worked best for you? Is Smart DNS enough or is running the VPN through the router the better option overall? Also curious if certain providers seem to work smoother with Xbox traffic than others

Looking for a VPN that’s affordable but still reliable for daily use and streaming movies from different regions

Mainly care about decent speeds and not getting spammed with captchas every hour

Any solid recommendations right now?

Using Pop OS and trying to pick a VPN since Linux support feels very different depending on the provider

Right now I’ve been checking out Mullvad ProtonVPN and NordVPN because they all seem to support Linux properly Mullvad gets praised a lot for its clean CLI setup Proton has both a GUI and CLI while Nord mainly sticks to CLI

For people daily driving Linux which VPN client has worked best for you Any distro specific issues with WireGuard support or setup problems Curious what long term Linux users actually rely on

I'm looking for a reliable VPN extension for Chrome because I don't want to install a full app. I've heard that NordVPN has the best Chrome extension with multi-hop and split tunneling. I've also heard that Surfshark and Proton VPN are solid picks. I've also heard that StrongVPN works great for streaming. I'm wondering which Chrome extension is most reliable.

The thing that concerns me is that I need something that won't slow down my browser. I've heard that some free Chrome extensions have security issues. I'm also wondering if browser-only protection is enough. I'm trying to figure out which Chrome VPN extension is actually reliable vs just marketing. Which Chrome extension is most reliable? Should I use NordVPN? What about Surfshark? Is Proton VPN good? Should I try StrongVPN? Have you used VPN extensions? What worked? Would you recommend it? Should I use a full app instead? What about free extensions? I'd appreciate advice about Chrome VPN extensions.
