1-29-24: Do not download their program for "browser helper". Use ONLY the stand alone program that does NOT integrate with browsers. Their download program is VERY intrusive and requires removal from windows add/remove and I have had it come back w/out my knowledge which could be a real security risk. Their tech support is top notch and answers inquiries quickly. Their feed is SLOWWW changes IPS w/out your approval or knowledge until you check, so you could be surfing from Lagos Nigeria when you least expect it. US server almost non-existent Not every site is fooled and some will block you but most will not. Does not work with Craigslist, and CL sucks anyways.
11-7-23: Good support. Answers emails and actually reads yours. Do not install the browser helper-installs a program that you must use windows to uninstall as it loads w/out your permission and does so even if blocked by firewall. Must be removed by windows remove pgm-very intrusive. Free tuxler is ok but some sites recognize it and block it, such as google, so they are detecting you're using a proxy even if you disable webrtc and block it. Too few free ip changes leaving you with Pakistan when you want USA.
9-2022: It would be nice if some company could come up with a similar vpn that actually works WITHOUT it d/connecting to some place in africa w/out your knowledge. Sure tell everyone you're in Africa when you selected NYC? hhahahahahah what a joke. Pay for this bs? Not me.
6-2022: Flakey to the max. On redeeming quality is it gets you through. Hacked extension will send you to Africa IP without any warning.
Cannot be used with firewall, requires all your defenses be down to use it.
But, as I said it does get u thru.
1-10-22: Noticeable improvement. They need to offer a way to select cities for free users. Some sites are blocking you because they keep changing your ip, often without your input. Slow to connect, often have to make several attempts.
11-10-21: this review applies to the stand alone tuxler program.I would never use it as an addon to FOX as it is a dangerous program, increeasing your rise of hackers since you must disable your firewall to use it. Sites are now detecting this addon and blocking connections to their site as a result. It is not longer a free ticket to proxy banning websites, but instead puts you on a block this connection list and you will get cannot connect error message, regardless of which country/proxy you select under tuxler. I another words for these sites it is useless. If you don't have a REAL residental proxy you will not be able to connect with tuxler and they might even delete your account. Also frequent problems slow or no loading of the program where you cannot even get a connection to anything. Junk not worth paying for.
10-3-21 New problem, connect connect to main server. As if THEIR/ISP firewall is blocking connection. Requires changing ISPs or mac address to get in. Either blocked or extremely slow to connect. Still problems with initial given IP (residential) working-have to change it usually first page load. It's dangerous to have to disable your firewall to use this program, open invitation to be seriously hacked. Also quite slow, sometimes unuseably slow They have a new competitor but for chrome only and it's not any good. This is the only vpn that does what it does, even if incredibly badly, haha.
