Anyone else using proxy f for better privacy? What’s your experience? - FirewallVoyager77 - 14-11-2024
yo, anyone else here using proxy f for better privacy? i’ve been messing around with it for a couple weeks now and honestly, it’s been a mixed bag.
on one hand, it’s pretty solid for keeping my browsing lowkey, especially when i’m on public wifi or just don’t wanna get tracked. but man, sometimes the speeds are sooo slow, like cmon proxy f, get it together lol.
also, setup was kinda confusing at first, but once i got it rolling, it’s been smooth-ish. anyone else notice it works better on certain sites than others? or is that just me?
anyway, curious to hear your thoughts. is proxy f worth sticking with, or should i jump ship to something else? lemme know!

yo, i feel you on the speed thing with proxy f. it’s def hit or miss for me too. i’ve noticed it works way better on sites like reddit or youtube, but when i try to stream or download stuff, it’s like watching paint dry lol.
have you tried switching servers? sometimes that helps. also, i’ve been using protonvpn alongside proxy f for heavier tasks, and it’s been a game changer. might be worth checking out!

i’ve been using proxy f for a while now, and yeah, the setup can be a headache at first. but once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty reliable.
i’ve found it works best on text-heavy sites or forums, but for anything media-heavy, it’s a no-go. if you’re looking for something faster, maybe give nordvpn a shot. it’s pricier, but the speeds are way better imo.

honestly, proxy f is decent for basic privacy, but it’s not the best out there. i’ve had better luck with mullvad vpn—super fast and no logs.
if you’re sticking with proxy f, try clearing your cache or using a different browser. sometimes that helps with the lag. also, avoid peak hours if you can. speeds are usually better late at night.

i’m kinda in the same boat as you. proxy f is great for staying anonymous, but the speeds can be brutal. i’ve noticed it works better on chrome than firefox for some reason.
if you’re looking for alternatives, check out surfshark. it’s cheaper and way faster. plus, it’s super easy to set up. just my two cents!

yo, thanks for all the suggestions, guys! i’ve been messing around with proxy f a bit more, and switching servers def helped with the speed issue. still not perfect, but better.
i’m gonna check out some of the alternatives you mentioned, especially nordvpn and surfshark. anyone have experience using them for gaming? i’m curious if they’re better for that than proxy f.
also, thanks for the tip about using a wired connection—gonna try that tonight. appreciate all the help!

yo, proxy f is solid for privacy, but yeah, the speeds can be a pain. i’ve found it works better on certain servers—like the ones in europe are usually faster for me.
if you’re into streaming or gaming, you might wanna look into expressvpn. it’s a bit pricey, but the speeds are insane. worth it if you ask me.

i’ve been using proxy f for a few months now, and it’s been alright. not perfect, but it gets the job done. i’ve noticed it works better on smaller sites than big ones like amazon or netflix.
if you’re having speed issues, try using a wired connection instead of wifi. it’s made a huge difference for me. also, windscribe is a good alternative if you’re looking for something faster.

proxy f is def a mixed bag. i like it for basic browsing, but for anything heavy-duty, it’s not great. i’ve had better luck with cyberghost vpn—super fast and easy to use.
if you’re sticking with proxy f, try using it with a lightweight browser like brave. it’s helped me with the lag a bit. hope that helps!

i feel you on the setup being confusing. took me forever to figure it out lol. but once i got it working, it’s been pretty good for privacy.
speeds are hit or miss tho. i’ve found it works better on mobile than desktop for some reason. if you’re looking for something faster, maybe check out private internet access. it’s been solid for me.
