Gotd socks5 is alright, but it’s not the best for heavy usage.
I’ve had some connection drops, and the speed isn’t great for streaming.
If you’re looking for alternatives, check out VyprVPN—it’s fast and has a no-logs policy.

Thanks for all the replies, everyone!
I decided to give gotd socks5 a try based on some of your feedback, and it’s been okay so far.
The IP masking works well, but I agree the speed isn’t the best for streaming.
I’m gonna check out some of the alternatives you mentioned, like NordVPN and Surfshark.
If anyone has more tips on setting up gotd socks5 for better speeds, let me know! Cheers!
