Looking for a reliable 'proxy us' service – any recommendations? or Does 'proxy us' actually work for - SecureCircuit77 - 31-08-2024
"Does proxy us actually work for bypassing geo-restrictions?"
Hey guys, so i’ve been trying to watch some shows that are locked in my region, and someone mentioned proxy us.
But like... does it *actually* work? Or is it just another sketchy service?
I don’t wanna waste time setting it up if it’s gonna get blocked instantly. Anyone got experience with it?
Also, is it slow af or decent for streaming?
Thanks in advance! 🙏

* "Is proxy us safe, or should I avoid it?"
Yo, so i’m kinda paranoid about privacy and stumbled on proxy us.
But idk, some free proxies are straight-up malware traps.
Anyone used proxy us long-term? Does it log your stuff or is it chill?
Also, any better alternatives if this one’s risky?
Thx! ✌️

I’ve used proxy us for a few months now, and it’s *okay* for streaming. Not the fastest, but it gets the job done if you’re just trying to watch shows.
Some sites block it tho, so you might need to switch servers occasionally.
For better speeds, try Windscribe or NordVPN—they’re more reliable for geo-unblocking.

Proxy us is hit or miss tbh.
Worked for me on Netflix US for a while, then stopped. Had to mess with settings to get it working again.
If you’re just testing, go for it. But if you want something stable, pay for a proper VPN.

Nah, proxy us is sketch. Used it once and my browser started acting weird.
If you care about privacy, avoid free proxies.
Try ProtonVPN’s free tier—way safer and actually keeps no logs.

It’s decent for basic stuff, but don’t expect 4K streaming lol.
Speed’s alright if you’re close to their servers.
Also, some sites like Hulu detect it fast, so YMMV.

Proxy us is *technically* safe, but I wouldn’t trust it long-term.
Free proxies often sell your data. If you’re just bypassing geo-blocks temporarily, it’s fine.
For long-term use, Surfshark is cheap and works better.

Wow, thanks for all the replies!
Seems like proxy us is kinda risky and inconsistent.
Gonna try ProtonVPN’s free tier first since a few of you recommended it.
If that fails, might just splurge on NordVPN. Appreciate the help!

Used proxy us to watch BBC iPlayer from the US.
Worked for a week, then got blocked.
Their support is nonexistent, so don’t expect help if it breaks.

If you’re paranoid, avoid proxy us.
Even if it’s not malware, it’s probably logging your traffic.
Mullvad VPN is a no-BS option if you want real privacy.

It’s *alright* for light browsing, but buffering hell for streaming.
Also, some servers are straight-up broken.
Wouldn’t recommend unless you’re desperate.
