Solved Brave VPN package queries!!

Alexey2912 · Mar 15, 2024

Hi, I use Brave as my default browser on my laptop and cell phones.

I have a few questions about it's monthly/yearly package for approx. $100/- which includes firewall/data protection, ad blocks on all apps, and a VPN, for up to 5 devices.
They say it would increase the internet speed too.
Would it be wise to subscribe or just get a VPN like Express VPN?

Hoping to hear back your expert thoughts.

Thanks.

Hi,
Please kindly ask them how this is accomplished.

Also, what is the reason you feel you need a VPN?

VPN does the exact opposite in terms of internet speed. When you use a VPN, your data is encrypted before being sent over the internet. This process, adds additional steps in the data transmission process. This extra step can slow down the speed at which the data is sent and received.

If you want faster internet, use the money for fiber internet subscription.
You should never pay for an internet browser. I don't know exactly what you do on the internet but don't waste your money on something you can get for free. Use something like Tails portable OS for secure browsing outside of Windows OS.

I shall, I don't require a VPN, but is included in the premium package offered.

Why not make your own VPN.
You can rent a virtual computer in any country. VISA and Mastercard are accepted.
It doesn't seem to be very expensive and not too complicated. At least a little interesting.
