I'm currently compiling a list of every survivor bonus video but I'm already stuck on Borneo. I want to know if this list I'm making actually has everything and so I want to share links to the sites I'm taking these video names from and want to know if that's all the season has. If not, please tell me in the comments. I also don't have sources for some seasons at all so I would love for you to send some links :)
I also want to know if these even are the insider videos or not

1. Is MV3 killing Adblockers like people say? while MV3 is more restricted than MV2, it will not kill adblockers.
   
2. Is Google killing adblockers? no, there is Adblockplus, Adguard and uBlock MV3 complaint extensions in the store.
   
3. Why do people say Google is killing adblockers then? It's based on not understanding how adblockers filters/rules work.
   
4. Will I see Youtube ads because Google is going to workaround how adblockers work? Not exactly, Google can't do anything about it, the method used in MV3 is the same way ads are being blocked in MV2, which is by injecting a JavaScript snippets. The only way Google can do anything is if they completely change the way they deliver their ads, for example, embedding them just like Twitch does it.
   
5. I heard adblockers can't update lists frequently like they do now because lists are included in the extensions and reviewing extensions take days, is that true? Yes, that's true, but recently google added a Skip review for eligible changes to extensions that will take care of that (you can read it on their 'developer chrome' blog), and Developers can publish SAFE STATIC RULES updates without needing to go through a review by the extension store. This means Adblockers can normally update their lists and they will be available to users within minutes. This also only applies to extensions that use declarativeNetRequest API, which is aimed at Adblockers and how they do things like updating lists. In fact, this what Google says in their blog about it: "In Manifest V3, developers of content filtering extensions make heavy use of the Declarative Net Request API. These extensions rely on filter lists which can change often and need to be kept up to date for users. We already support dynamic rules and we are adding this option to make sure developers can continue to offer the same set of capabilities in MV3."
   So while the concern is true, how can these factual actions taken by Google, like improving MV3 DNR limits based on Adguard and Adblock Plus feedback, and this skip review for CONTENT FILTERING extensions, can translate to some people as Google is killing adblockers and Google this and Google that? well, it's just a contradictory logic.
   

But this post is not exactly about MV3 or to defend MV3, the only truth we know is that MV3 is the future in Chromium browsers, and nobody can do anything.
The purpose of this post is to explain how Adblockers work and why MV3 while more restricted in what MV2 allowed extensions to do (Mv3 adds positive and negative things), there shouldn't be big issues for most adblocker rules to be implemented and work and do what Mv2 did. In terms of adblocking, that's what matters here anyway, if a rule is working or not, even if they miss some other features they had, like an easy to use slider or a buttons.
Adblockers aren't doing any magic, a dev anti-adblock implementation might not work in MV2, just like it won't work in Mv3, because adblocking is always evolving to cover many cases where trackers and ads are getting through. This is why you see some scriptlets being implemented just to address a single site, because sometimes that is the best approach, and sometimes a single scriptlet or a different type of rule will cover many at the same time.
So no, this is also not to justify the creation of MV3, but MV3 wasn't made to specifically damage adblocking, MV3 is the whole extension platform, so every extension will be affected. Of course, the explanation behind MV3 is to give Chromium browsers the power with native APIs to do the filtering and everything extensions do, they say it is for performance, battery and security reasons, but in terms of adblockers it doesn't matter if true or not, because right now most major MV3 complaint adblockers are able to block, hide and modify most of what MV2 are doing.
Is MV3 perfect for adblockers? no, but also that can be relative and depends on the website, it works fine in some websites, in others it needs some work. Also, MV3 keeps evolving so it will not have the same features today that they will have in a year, just like a year ago we didn't have userScript and DNR limits were terrible and there was no skip review for static rules.. etc etc.
So of course, I believe many arguments against Mv3 are also based on pure lack of logic and reason, like think about this, why would Google provide Declarative Net Request API, if they don't want extensions to do that? if they wanted to kill most of Adblocker effectiveness they would have done that, the browser can do it natively for developers so why provide an Extension API if the plan is to limit and kill adblockers? that's how some people's logic doesn't make any sense.
Their claims is also based on their lack of knowing how Adblocking rules work, and they think everything is just the doom of dooms by not knowing how Adblockers do what they do, like cosmetics. Do people even know all it does is add display: none !important to an HTML element? that's all it does, and that can be done by every adblocker today, MV2 or MV3, if they are developed correctly. There are some Mv3 that are more advanced than Mv2 adblockers for example.
So this is more to let some people drop the fear and misinformation, with the concepts of Adblocking and the manifestv3 extension platform. It's okay to have some doubt and be uncertain about stuff, but making claims like "google is killing adblockers" or "Google will stop supporting adblockers" are just ridiculous.
And this is why:
First, Like I said, Adblockers don't do 'magic' to do what they do, Adblockers fundamental idea is very simple in the way they do their job, this is because everything done by the Adblockers can be done by anyone using the same features to create websites and all, like Devtools, Block Network Requests, Modify or Add or remove CSS properties, attributes, classes, nodes, modify headers, modify CSP inject JavaScript snippets which would allow to have access to many APIs like remove or set cookies or local storage items, set functions or stop then from running, close windows, stop popups from opening... etc.
This means Adblockers can't be killed because if Google were to block Adblockers for doing simple tasks like that, most other extension would be blocked, for example: 7tv or Betterttv inject JS in Twitch so Twitch page replaces words by images. Dark Reader or midnight-lizard will modify the CSS to modify the way websites look. Something like Inssman or ModHeader will modify and add and remove the request and response headers, and make other advanced stuff that would work like what Adblockers do to do their job.
So for Google to block adblockers, they need to change completely the way web technologies are made, this is also because when you open devtools, a page is an open book, you can check anything a website does and modify it and even retain some changes after you reload the page when you use Sources -> overrides. So it is not possible for Google to do that.
If people think Google could block extensions based on name? Adblockers can just drop the use of "adblockers' in their name and move on. If people think Google could use the Static rules (in MV3 rules that come with the adblocker have to be reviewed by Chrome Extension Store), well, Youtube currently doesn't use any essential static rule for its adblocking, maybe for anti-track purposes but not really for the video ads, so even if Google were to block Adblockers based on other types of rules like Scriptlet injection, there will be an official list to load in the adblocker that will do the job. Adblockers are allowed to use custom rules, and since scriptlet injections rules are not counted towards any Dynamic rules limit in DNR, then you can add as many as you want, because the limits in DNR are for DNR not other types of rules that don't touch the API.
Yes, Adblockers support many type of rules to achieve anything they do, this is important because it seems for the way people comment or write their posts that they think Cosmetics are the same as a Network Request filter and they all obth are limited to DNR API, people should finally stop thinking thata rule can be treated the same as another, especially when we talk about DNR limits.
DNR API is ONLY about Network Request filtering, this is, anything that the browser connects to when loading a page, you can see all these connections in Devtools -> Network, and you can use the Network Request Filtering inside Devtools to achieve the same an adblocker would do (maybe better, since Devtools has access to anything, even extensions, while extensions can only see pages, no internal pages or other extensions.). These ones are the only rules that count towards the limits of declarativeNetRequest API which is replacing WebRequest API. Other rules, like cosmetics or scriptlet injections are not counted towards the limit, so basically, anything that looks like example^ or example$domain=test, example/ads/*$xhr,scriptare the only ones that have to do with DNR API, but if they are simple cosmetics example##.class or Scriptlet Injections example##+js(scriptlet), they are not going to use DNR.
This is very important to understand, because most people make Cosmetic filters either by using native CSS selectors or pseudo-classes or Procedurals (selectors made with JS), and something like Youtube and others use scriptlet injections to achieve the adblocking capabilities, not network request becasue the ads don't get delivered that way or because modifying the way ads are delivered will not get blocked easily by Youtube or any other provider.
So Google can't even do much about adblockers in Youtube, because they would have to change the way ads are delivered to achieve that, just like Twitch did, and even in Twitch there are still workarounds like a scriptlet that lowers the quality to 360p while the ads are running, or extensions to proxy the connection to countries were ads are not implemented. This is the only way they have been able to fight a little the way uBlock, Brave or Adguard implementation to block Youtube ads, by changing a little the JSON stuff, but in 8 months Youtube hasn't been able to do much.
Now, about Anti-adblock technologies, this is not new, any website have been using similar methods to try to scare people and annoy people to disable adblockers, some are more effective the ones, some are not avoidable by simple methods and you need to allow some connections, but basically browsers can't tell if you are using Adblocker or not, what developers do is they build a logic to assume you are using an adblocker. Youtube latest anti-adblocker trick, was to go to Easylist, see an element that is being HIDDEN by cosmetics, and tell the page "if this element has the CSS display: none !important; then display the anti-adblock notice" nothing that wasn't fixed in 3 seconds by filter mantainers, that's it, not anything big to combat adblockers, just what any other website has been using in years, but something like Youtube hasn't really done much to fight adblockers in months for the way scriptlets were made by Adguard and uBlock with tons of research behind them on how to effectively implement them.
So why are people still stuck in the idea that Google can do anything about adblockers? it is fime to stop. Yes, Manifestv3 brings changes some negative changes, but also some positive ones, also some limits and all that, but it's not going to kill adbockers, especially when Google keeps making the extension platform more powerful by adding more APIs, for example recently they added userScripts API, which seems to be amazing allowing extensions to inject JS code natively, easy, without sacrificing performance, and since the idea of Manifestv3 is letting the browser do all the job by native APIs, then the performance between MV3 extensions shouldn't be an issue anymore, now it will be about extensions offering or not specific features and how devs improve and expand the extensions without killing the browser or opening security issues or something.
BTW recently Google made some changes to improve DNR limits. - More Static Rules: Previously only 50 static rulesets could be added per extension and only 10 enabled simultaneously. they were increased to be 50 simultaneusly and 100 rulesets in total. - More Dynamic Rules: 5000 were the limit and it was increased to 30000, but this is only for DNR rules: block, allow, allowAllRequests or upgradeScheme, while other dynamic net request rules stay at 5000. This is the change that was made based on Adguard and Adblock Plus feedback, because between internal lists and custom lists the 5K was too low and hit easily. You could see other limits by finding MAX_NUMBER_OF_DYNAMIC_RULES in Chrome's documentation.
So the limites are not the end of the world either, even if you were going to add your own rules.
Adblockers have evolved, they are not simple network requests and then cosmetics to hide whatever leftovers display in the page, this has needed years of researching and implementations, but they are not going away, because there are already MV3 complaint extensions in Google Extension Store, some are more capable than others, some offer most of the MV2 counterpart rules parity, some need work but it doesn't mean the effectiveness of the adblocker is gone.
These are some of the rules adblockers relay on, of course some have more value than others.
But in Adblocking world, If a rule exists, it will only be valid if the Adblocker supports it, there is no magic here either, a rule is either supported or not, this is why lists have thousands of rules, manually updated by humans everyday and all adblockers I tested, and why it is important for adblockers to find a way to support most of the rules they previously supported, sometimes an adblocker might support a rule and not the other like injecting CSS code in any HTML element, so it's not a limitation of the platform and how developers didn't care to give that feature or not yet.
Of course, if you don't believe me, you and anyone can test these rules and see if their adblocker of choice is effective or not, or if the rules you need to achieve X or Y exist, their documentation should easily let you write your own rules, so anyone could easily write a rule and adapt it to each Adblocker's syntax and see if the adblocker has the support for those features or not. I have done this for years and have made lists, of course Adblockers are always adding new type of rules and evolving so it is hard to keep up, especially if a rule is not documented because it is experimetal and might or not be implemented in the end.
Anyway, these are the main types of adblocking rules so you can see the differences:
Network request: They will block anything you see in Devtools -> Network tab, the most basic one is example^ and they can use modifiers to filter them more and be more specific: document, domain/from, scrpt, 3p, image, xhr, css, popup, redirect, redirect-rule, to, other, media, all. The first part before the $ is the URL the browser sees, the modifiers after the $ are just ways to filter them to be more specific if necessary. So, it requires a bit of reading to know how to write rules but it is easy, especially cosmetics, but for example you can set up to block specific images in specific domains you use test.jpg$image,domain=example or a script when it is loaded as a third-party connection test$script,3p This is what blocks as an Adblocker, any other rule can block, but this is the main one in charge of that and modify or block network request.
Cosmetic: example##.test this are the ones with native CSS selectors and pseudo classes. All it does is whatever you 'select' by using CSS selectors and pseudo classes, will be added the property display: none !important, and that's it, they don't block, only hide whatever element is selected, which is always a misconception of people when they say "Adblocker X is not blocking ads" but it is a static image that just doesn't have a specific rule set up.
Scriptlet Injection: example##+js(scriptlet) these are one of the most important filters in recent years, increasing the importance because injecting JS is powerful, and allows to do too many different things. But for example you could use a scriptlet to stop visibilitychange and then videos won't detect you tabbed out and stop them, so it is a whole world on its own, it is the biggest type of rule, because it allows to do almost anything with a website by injecting JS and using APIs like any pages does, this is the future of adblocking and it's like a reverse-engeneering type of thing, so instead of you building a feature by using JS in a page by a web dev, the adblocker is going stop or remove or modify what was built with JS by using the same JS that is native to the browser, again, no different than what you can do in Devtools. I wonder if Mv3 complain extensions will allow us to use our own scriptlets eventually, userScripts API should be the new better official API way of doing it as far as I know, it only needs dev mode to be enabled and it should allow users to download or add their own JS code to inject in pages, but I am not an extension developer to know the exact details and the performance compared to what MV2 extensions do when injecting scriptlets, but I am positive about it especially when it is a API provided by the browser and all.
Redirection rules: example$redirect=resource or example$redirect-rule= or ABP would use something that has the syntax $rewrite=abp-resource:resource this basically will replace a network request and use a local modified resource, this means you can replace a JS file with a noop one. This is important becuase it's frequent to detect adblockers based on network requests not being delivered, so this will allow the page to think it got the file, but since it is useless, nothing trackers or ads will happen, so you can block the request and faking the deliver of the file.
Content Security Policy (CSP): example$csp=default-src;sandbox;script-src This is not used often but it is very powerful. It works for a whitelisting stuff from a page, so you will add what you want to whitelist depending what you want to do. There are similar ways to achieve that in some adblockers by using $to (at least both $CSP and $to are supported by Adguard in MV3).
Procedural cosmetics: example##.test:upward(:has-text(TEXT)) some use the :contains() instead of :has-text(). But these are just non-native selectors made by JS, they allow amazing things but are slower than native CSS selectors and pseudo classes, so make things easier depending on situation at the cost of performance.
Action operators: :style() example##.test:style(css property) (or in Adguard = example#$?#.test {css property}), :remove(), :remove-attr(), :remove-class(), pretty useful to modify the websites and remove elements instead of hiding them, when hiding is not enough, remove-attr and remove-cass are still available in the form is scriptlet injections, since you have to inject JS to achieve what they do, but using them with normal CSS selectors, looking like normal cosmetics gives more flexibility for the rules and how they are applied in a page, like if an element changes in the page.
There are also the Specific or Generic rules, Generic are the ones that will apply to every page, specific will apply to specific domain(s), and there are also the exceptions, so rules are not applied to specific domains or completely to override something that was added by a filter list, same as $badfilter and other rules that are used in filter lists but users rarely use.
Most of rules that were in MV2 have been implemented in MV3, and the more time that passes the more an adblocker will evolve one way or the other, which is exactly what adblockers have been doing for years.
But in the end, people can test all this and drop the idea of the Evil MV3, because there already 3 major adblocking extensions in the store that are MV3 complaint anyway, some have more features than others, some already support all the same supported rules that they had in Mv2, some will include advanced features eventually, so people should just wait and see, there is still time for Extension Store to hide Mv2 extensions, and for Browser to completely remove Mv2 support, so rushing to judge based on ignorance shouldn't be a thing anymore.
Extensions in the store:
Adblock Plus: This seems to be the only official mainstream MV3 adblocker at the moment, it replaced the MV2 version sometime ago, so their decision to do that shows they were ready for it.
It works fine, every previous rule that was reported to be supported by MV2 in their documentation How-to-write-filters works, also, it allows you to use your own Custom Adblock rules and lists, It also has a logger through devtools.
The only problem people will notice is that it is still the same freemium extension as before, maybe more aggressive now because you need a subscription to unblock some features/lists, but you don't need that because you use any list you want, and you can write your own filters, unless they add scriptlets or something restricted only to premium users, then there is no reason why you can't make them yourself.
It seems to do a good job blocking Youtube ads, in my quick test of watching many videos. ABP compared to uBlock and Adguard has been fast, but lacks many important rules I like to use, so in terms of being for advanced users, it is not, but it works and it is fast. So missing some features like injecting CSS in a page, or adding your own scriptlets is not something I expected for it to have. But for general use it works great.
In the end they just switched all their million of users (between Edge, Chrome and Opera extension stores) to MV3, and I am sure nobody noticed the difference.
uBlock Origin Lite: This extension is also a separated extension from the MV2 conterpart, but it seems to offer good support for the rules.
There are one serious limitations though, no custom adblock rules or lists at the moment. But obviously it is not a limitation of MV3 when the other 2 extensions offer it.
It is really hard to test what exact features it supports or not compared to the MV2, for that single reason, no custom adblock rules.
But It seems to block Youtube ads fine in my experience, so it should be easier to do things when they add custom adblock rules and all that, but seems like it is in a decent spot.
But I made a reverse way of testing rules, a quick one because I didn't want to take hours doin it.
I opened the filter lists and searched for any random rule hltv.*##.leftCol > div [data-link-tracking-page="Widget"]:upward(.leftCol > div) that has :has() and :upward(). If the rule is not present in the domain, I would just create the HTML node structure and see if it works or not.
Well, they work, so it supports procedural cosmetic filters. The only problem I encountered that is not present in ABP or Adguard is that when I modified the rule, the rule has to be come invalid and show the element, for example an attribute, but when modifying the attribute the elements were still hidden with the display: none !important property, which is not what they have to do, like it's not watching the DOM correctly, but it is not an issue people will encounter, but more lika a behavior issue in how other adblockers work.
I also encountered some issues, where cosmetics are not being applied, if I go to cgpress you can see the right side has am ad leftover, but if you use devtools, you see that span[data-ez-ph-id] is in the list of cosmetics being applied, so it works but for some reason the other property being set by the page with display: block !important; is still being applied and not being overriden by what uBlock Lite is adding so you can remove the !important added by cgpress devs and the element will be hidden properly.
But this means it is not the adblocker not being able to do it, it is just it is not applying the cosmetic correctly in some cases, which is something the dev has to fix because ABP doens't have an issue for example.
uBlock Lite is also able to inject CSS with the action operator :style(), if you go to uBlockorg website, you shall see a message that says "uBlock is unrelated to the well-known uBlock Origin." in red, well, that's injected by the adblocker with the :style() action operator. So it supports most good rules, and while it is hard ot test without custom user rules, it's great and fast.
Adguard: Adguard is a separated extension "MV3 Experimental", it offers more features than ABP, by features I mean, rules. The logger is only present if you build and sideload the extension though, no official support for that yet, like ABP implemented, but It allows custom adblock rules and lists.
It seems to have the same issue as Adguard MV2, the performance of ExtendedCss (procedural) cosmetics is a little slower than what you would get in ABP (MV2 or MV3) and last time I reported and issue with native :is() pseudo class, but who knows when they are going to fix it, the issue is present in both MV2 and MV3, so it is not a MV3 issue but Adguard being Adguard.
But it works for the most part, seems like it has some little issues with the Scriptlet Injections though, so it runs when you load the page but then the scriptlet doesn't get injected anymore, which would affect Youtube adblocking, but doesn't mean that they won't improve it, because I tested uBlock Origin Lite and ABP as well and the issues are not there. Since uBlock Lite can do it, we I hope people won't blame MV3 and think it is MV3's fault.
But it offers great features like being able to inject any CSS property you want by using #?#.selector {style}, or you can use $csp to modify the CSP permissions in a page, and $to and many rules you can read in thier Github and the kb page How to create your own ad filters, and while it still doesn't support the great advanced list of rules the MV2 supports, it is closer and closer on each big release. Of course not having a logger makes it hard to test and see what rules are being used by Adguard in the normal version (you can get logger in the dev built version) but we hope eventually all this will be resolved when installing MV3 matters, I guess the most important thing to resolve is the Scriptlet Injection and how it is not working correctly, but other filters seem to work okay... we can only wait and see but Adguard's business comes from adblocking, so you hope they will have the extension ready soon, because Scriptlet Injections is like the most important filter in my opinion, and it's what important sites like Youtube need. So while it supports great features, that single issue is problematic, but it should be okay soon, it was working fine before, it will work fine again.
So... Will people still say Google can kill adblockers after reading this? probaly. Some people might think who am I to 'teach them anything' or don't care about what I wrote in this post and want to get stuck intheir ideas, but at least I am the kind of person who has found and reported bugs in how adblockers apply their rules, misbehaviors and limitations and workarounds and everything like that, this is because I meddle with adblockers enough to do all that. If someone needs a rule or a solution to a problem with a page, I am sure an Adblocker might be able to solve it. This is another thing about adblockers, they have evolved so much to do more than just adblocking or antitracking, you can use its features for so many thing, that you can completely change websites by modify their CSS, not just colors but position, size of the elements etc... I still hope some people learned something and how adblockers are easy to test and experiment with and even if MV3 Adblockers are still not feature parity with MV2, that doesn't mean they are going anywhere, or they can be killed by anyone like Google without changing the whole web.
Any questions about adblockers, I never have issues with that, any rule peopel need, I can help with that too. I know some people are weird on the internet, maybe too passionate to have a conversation, but I still hope someone learned anything from this post. I tried to cover everything I could to explain the details, so I hope I covered most of it so if people are interested they can go to each Adblocker documentation, see what feature they support and maybe learn how to write their own rules and how to fix their web by themselves if necessary.
Thank you very much for reading and have a good day.

Unblocked Games 2025

As we approach 2025, the world of unblocked games continues to evolve, offering more exciting and accessible gaming experiences for students and gamers alike. Unblocked games have always been a popular choice for those looking to enjoy their favorite games during school or work hours, bypassing network restrictions that typically block gaming sites. In 2025, this trend is set to reach new heights with advancements in technology and game development.
One of the key features of unblocked games in 2025 is the integration of cutting-edge web technologies.

The variety of games available has also expanded significantly. From classic arcade games to modern multiplayer experiences, unblocked games in 2025 cater to a wide range of tastes and preferences. Popular genres include action, adventure, puzzle, and strategy, providing endless entertainment options for gamers of all ages. Additionally, educational games have become a significant part of the unblocked gaming landscape, offering fun and interactive ways for students to learn and practice new skills.
Security and accessibility are also top priorities for unblocked game sites in 2025. Developers are implementing robust security measures to protect users from malicious content, ensuring a safe gaming environment. Moreover, these sites are designed to be easily accessible, with user-friendly interfaces and intuitive navigation, making it simple for anyone to find and play their favorite games.
In conclusion, unblocked games in 2025 represent the future of accessible gaming. With advancements in technology, a diverse range of games, and a focus on security and accessibility, these games provide an enjoyable and safe way for students and gamers to relax and have fun, anytime and anywhere.

So I've recently been testing popular VPNs to see which ones are best for downloading torrents. Some VPNs offer P2P servers, but I don't even know if these are necessary if the VPN allows torrenting anyway?

1. NordVPN for Torrenting

• 6,400+ servers in 111 countries
• 700 Mbps download speeds (see youtube and reddit torrenting subs)
• Easy access to all torrenting websites
• Double-VPN servers route your outgoing traffic through two servers for better encryption
• P2P servers for fast and secure file-sharing
• Threat Protection tool blocks ads, malware, and trackers from infecting your device
• No-logs VPN with RAM servers
• IP, WebRTC, and DNS leak protection
• 10 simultaneous connections
• No port forwarding
• Passed numerous privacy and security audits
• Subscription starts around $3/month with a coupon

I've tested NordVPN for a few months and was pretty impressed. By using NordLynx, I got a reliable and fast connection on both close and remote servers. I was also able to unlock popular torrenting sites like The Pirate Bay and 1337x, and my IP never got blacklisted.

2. Surfshark Torrenting VPN

• 3,200+ servers in 100 countries
• Unlocks popular torrenting platforms
• 10 Gbps servers for fast and reliable torrenting
• Obfuscation hides VPN traffic
• An audited no-logs VPN with RAM servers
• Intuitive and minimalistic UI
• No port forwarding
• Unlimited simultaneous connections
• Very affordable (frequent coupon deals)

This is another solid VPN imo. Surfshark performed similarly to NordVPN. With WireGuard I achieved nearly identical speeds, although torrenting through remote servers was a bit slower. Surfshark consistently unblocked all torrenting platforms I've used.

3. ProtonVPN

• 4,700+ servers in 90 countries
• Unlocks most torrenting platforms
• WireGuard support for consistent connection
• Obfuscated servers
• Swiss-based no-logs VPN (audited)
• Supports port forwarding
• 10 simultaneous connections

I've only tested a free version of ProtonVPN, and I got mixed results. While it allowed me to access most sites, my download speed was underwhelming. Also, Proton VPN blocks torrenting on all free servers, another drawback. Has anyone had a better experience with a premium version?

4. ExpressVPN for Torrenting

• 3,100+ servers in 105 countries
• Unblocks torrenting sites
• Zero logs policy and RAM servers
• No port forwarding
• Decent speed
• 8 simultaneous connections
• Pricey subscription starting from $8.32/month

ExpressVPN uses a Lightway protocol that gave me a reliable but slower connection than WireGuard. At times I was annoyed, as my download speed was nearly halved. Considering the price, it wouldn't be my first choice for torrenting.

5. Mullvad for Torrenting

• Great reputation as a privacy-focused VPN in Sweden
• 684 servers in 44 countries
• No logs (audited like NordVPN and Surfshark)
• No port forwarding
• Expensive at $5.44/month with no discounts for long-term subs
• No blocks on torrenting servers

6. Perfect Privacy

• No-logs VPN with dedicated, bare-metal servers
• Port forwarding support
• Unlimited simultaneous connections
• Expensive subscription (costs $8.95/month, nearly 3x more than Surfshark)

I haven't used Perfect Privacy for a long time, as I find it overpriced. Its speed and consistency were frequently unreliable, switching from decent to lukewarm.
I used to use TorGuard for torrenting, but I found the apps are buggy and speeds are not great.
So that's it. What VPNs are you all using for torrenting and why? Are there any good services I missed?

Ok, as the title says, I'm looking for the best VPN for Netflix. I've been researching the world of Netflix VPNs for the past few weeks and I'll share what I've found. But what are others using to access different Netflix libraries from around the world?
From what I see, there are five big-name VPNs that consistently work with Netflix.

1. NordVPN for Netflix

• 6,300+ servers in 111 countries
• Unblocks 17+ Netflix libraries, including the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, and more
• Fast and consistent speeds (I got over 700 Mbps on US servers)
• Double-VPN servers route all traffic through two VPN servers for improved security.
• Obfuscated servers conceal that you’re using a VPN, which is important for countries where VPNs are illegal.
• Threat Protection feature (blocks ads, trackers, malware, and phishing sites)
• 10 simultaneous connections
• Affordable at around $3/month with the coupon

Based on my experience in using NordVPN for most of the past year, I found that this VPN can easily unlock Netflix. Depending on which server I connected to, I could unlock different Netflix libraries, gaining access to new shows.
NordVPN also works on Hulu, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime and BBC iPlayer.

2. Surfshark VPN for Netflix

• 3,200+ servers in 100 countries
• Unblocks 15+ Netflix libraries (all major regions)
• Double-VPN servers route all traffic through two VPN servers for improved security.
• CleanWeb - Stops intrusive ads, malware, and trackers
• Unlimited simultaneous connections
• Most affordable option (they have various coupons and deals going on)

My experience using Surfshark. Similar to NordVPN, I was able to unlock many Netflix regions quickly with Surfshark VPN servers. I never experienced the infamous proxy error, nor did my server get blacklisted. I found that Surfshark performed similarly on remote and close servers, and I never experienced lag.
Surfshark also works on Disney Plus, Hulu, BBC iPlayer, and Amazon Prime.

3. ExpressVPN for Netflix (Good, but expensive)

• 3,100+ servers in 105 countries
• Unblocks 10+ Netflix libraries
• Fast speeds
• 8 simultaneous connections
• Expensive at $8.32/month with the cheapest plan

I have not tested this one. Anyone have any experience using ExpressVPN with Netflix? Is it worth the high price?

4. IPVanish

• 2,400+ servers in 75 countries
• Unblocks 10+ Netflix libraries
• Fast speeds
• Unlimited simultaneous connections
• Around $2.20/month with two-year plans
• Based in the US (not great for privacy)

IPVanish claims to be the best VPN for Netflix on its website, but I did not have the best luck with it a few years ago. That said, a lot can change over time. I have not tried using this VPN with Netflix in years, so I'm curious to hear if anyone else has tried it.

VPNs that I found to not work with Netflix

Ok, I know Netflix and VPNs are a cat-and-mouse game, where Netflix will block some IP addresses, then the VPNs will get new IPs to unblock the service. That said, these are the VPNs that I've found to not work well with Netflix:

• Mullvad
• CyberGhost
• PIA
• PureVPN (very buggy VPN app on my Windows laptop)
• Hotspot Shield (free version)
• ProtonVPN (free version)

Ok, that summarizes my experience of testing out VPNs with Netflix. What VPNs do you use with Netflix?

Introducing...the Scrub
The derogatory term “scrub” means several different things. One definition is someone (especially a game player) who is not good at something (especially a game). By this definition, we all start out as scrubs, and there is certainly no shame in that. I mean the term differently, though. A scrub is a player who is handicapped by self-imposed rules that the game knows nothing about. A scrub does not play to win.
Now, everyone begins as a poor player—it takes time to learn a game to get to a point where you know what you’re doing. There is the mistaken notion, though, that by merely continuing to play or “learn” the game, one can become a top player. In reality, the “scrub” has many more mental obstacles to overcome than anything actually going on during the game. The scrub has lost the game even before it starts. He’s lost the game even before deciding which game to play. His problem? He does not play to win.
The scrub would take great issue with this statement for he usually believes that he is playing to win, but he is bound up by an intricate construct of fictitious rules that prevents him from ever truly competing. These made-up rules vary from game to game, of course, but their character remains constant. Let’s take a fighting game off of which I’ve made my gaming career: Street Fighter.
In Street Fighter, the scrub labels a wide variety of tactics and situations “cheap.” This “cheapness” is truly the mantra of the scrub. Performing a throw on someone is often called cheap. A throw is a special kind of move that grabs an opponent and damages him, even when the opponent is defending against all other kinds of attacks. The entire purpose of the throw is to be able to damage an opponent who sits and blocks and doesn’t attack. As far as the game is concerned, throwing is an integral part of the design—it’s meant to be there—yet the scrub has constructed his own set of principles in his mind that state he should be totally impervious to all attacks while blocking. The scrub thinks of blocking as a kind of magic shield that will protect him indefinitely. Why? Exploring the reasoning is futile since the notion is ridiculous from the start.
You will not see a classic scrub throw his opponent five times in a row. But why not? What if doing so is strategically the sequence of moves that optimizes his chances of winning? Here we’ve encountered our first clash: the scrub is only willing to play to win within his own made-up mental set of rules. These rules can be staggeringly arbitrary. If you beat a scrub by throwing projectile attacks at him, keeping your distance and preventing him from getting near you—that’s cheap. If you throw him repeatedly, that’s cheap, too. We’ve covered that one. If you block for fifty seconds doing no moves, that’s cheap. Nearly anything you do that ends up making you win is a prime candidate for being called cheap. Street Fighter was just one example; I could have picked any competitive game at all.
Doing one move or sequence over and over and over is a tactic close to my heart that often elicits the call of the scrub. This goes right to the heart of the matter: why can the scrub not defeat something so obvious and telegraphed as a single move done over and over? Is he such a poor player that he can’t counter that move? And if the move is, for whatever reason, extremely difficult to counter, then wouldn’t I be a fool for not using that move? The first step in becoming a top player is the realization that playing to win means doing whatever most increases your chances of winning. That is true by definition of playing to win. The game knows no rules of “honor” or of “cheapness.” The game only knows winning and losing.
A common call of the scrub is to cry that the kind of play in which one tries to win at all costs is “boring” or “not fun.” Who knows what objective the scrub has, but we know his objective is not truly to win. Yours is. Your objective is good and right and true, and let no one tell you otherwise. You have the power to dispatch those who would tell you otherwise, anyway. Simply beat them.
Let’s consider two groups of players: a group of good players and a group of scrubs. The scrubs will play “for fun” and not explore the extremities of the game. They won’t find the most effective tactics and abuse them mercilessly. The good players will. The good players will find incredibly overpowering tactics and patterns. As they play the game more, they’ll be forced to find counters to those tactics. The vast majority of tactics that at first appear unbeatable end up having counters, though they are often quite subtle and difficult to discover. Knowing the counter tactic prevents the other player from using his tactic, but he can then use a counter to your counter. You are now afraid to use your counter and the opponent can go back to sneaking in the original overpowering tactic. This concept will be covered in much more detail later.
The good players are reaching higher and higher levels of play. They found the “cheap stuff” and abused it. They know how to stop the cheap stuff. They know how to stop the other guy from stopping it so they can keep doing it. And as is quite common in competitive games, many new tactics will later be discovered that make the original cheap tactic look wholesome and fair. Often in fighting games, one character will have something so good it’s unfair. Fine, let him have that. As time goes on, it will be discovered that other characters have even more powerful and unfair tactics. Each player will attempt to steer the game in the direction of his own advantages, much how grandmaster chess players attempt to steer opponents into situations in which their opponents are weak.
Let’s return to the group of scrubs. They don’t know the first thing about all the depth I’ve been talking about. Their argument is basically that ignorantly mashing buttons with little regard to actual strategy is more “fun.” Superficially, their argument does at least look valid, since often their games will be more “wet and wild” than games between the experts, which are usually more controlled and refined. But any close examination will reveal that the experts are having a great deal of this “fun” on a higher level than the scrub can even imagine. Throwing together some circus act of a win isn’t nearly as satisfying as reading your opponent’s mind to such a degree that you can counter his every move, even his every counter.
Can you imagine what will happen when the two groups of players meet? The experts will absolutely destroy the scrubs with any number of tactics they’ve either never seen or never been truly forced to counter. This is because the scrubs have not been playing the same game. The experts were playing the actual game while the scrubs were playing their own homemade variant with restricting, unwritten rules.
The scrub has still more crutches. He talks a great deal about “skill” and how he has skill whereas other players—very much including the ones who beat him flat out—do not have skill. The confusion here is what “skill” actually is. In Street Fighter, scrubs often cling to combos as a measure of skill. A combo is a sequence of moves that is unblockable if the first move hits. Combos can be very elaborate and very difficult to pull off. But single moves can also take “skill,” according to the scrub. The “dragon punch” or “uppercut” in Street Fighter is performed by holding the joystick toward the opponent, then down, then diagonally down and toward as the player presses a punch button. This movement must be completed within a fraction of a second, and though there is leeway, it must be executed fairly accurately. Ask any scrub and they will tell you that a dragon punch is a “skill move.”
I once played a scrub who was actually quite good. That is, he knew the rules of the game well, he knew the character matchups well, and he knew what to do in most situations. But his web of mental rules kept him from truly playing to win. He cried cheap as I beat him with “no skill moves” while he performed many difficult dragon punches. He cried cheap when I threw him five times in a row asking, “Is that all you know how to do? Throw?” I gave him the best advice he could ever hear. I told him, “Play to win, not to do ‘difficult moves.’” This was a big moment in that scrub’s life. He could either ignore his losses and continue living in his mental prison or analyze why he lost, shed his rules, and reach the next level of play.
I’ve never been to a tournament where there was a prize for the winner and another prize for the player who did many difficult moves. I’ve also never seen a prize for a player who played “in an innovative way.” (Though chess tournaments do sometimes have prizes for “brilliancies,” moves that are strokes of genius.) Many scrubs have strong ties to “innovation.” They say, “That guy didn’t do anything new, so he is no good.” Or “person X invented that technique and person Y just stole it.” Well, person Y might be one hundred times better than person X, but that doesn’t seem to matter to the scrub. When person Y wins the tournament and person X is a forgotten footnote, what will the scrub say? That person Y has “no skill” of course.
You can gain some standing in a gaming community by playing in an innovative way, but that should not be the ultimate goal. Innovation is merely one of many tools that may or may not help you reach victory. The goal is to play as excellently as possible. The goal is to win.

Hi guys, I'm Brazilian, leaving abroad for a long time. All my family is there, and I keep in touch with them. In Brazil I have only a Saving account ("poupança") with Caixa Econômica Federal. When I want to pay boletos I used Caixa web app.
However, it's not the most confortable because sometimes I have to ask a relative to go to the bank for this or that thing. For instance, there's a "virtual key" used for it, and if I miss it once, it's blocked and only me can unblocked it, visiting the bank.
So, what options do you know for paying such boletos directly from abroad, using an international credit card. I have no Brazilian credit card, nor Brazilian mobile phone. I do have all the documents, including the CPF.
It means that option like RecargaPay or PicPay won't work, because they require Brazilian phone number.
Thanks.

Hello my english is solo self lern from web so sorry for grama/miss spelling. Im also complete noob in terms of my knowledge of cryto just have some overral understanding and what i was able to educate myself from those past 2days.
TLDR on the bottom.
So my father was searching for some investing opportunitis and come across pulse investments ( the site looks scammy can't find information about it on the internet and those key word looks way to good to be true) Make account and then get some personal assistant(scamer) loaded the account with around 7k$ and get acces to trading platform they use. The asistant basically trade for him, just tell him what to do he follow and they bring the account to i think 11-13k$ i think it took like 1-1.5month(i dont think any of this is real and its a scam from the begining). Then the real opportunity arrives arbitrage trading you know you can't lose on it... but its good only with bigger account... So they start that and they imiddietly get good resoults and he get convinced to load the account with more, those oportunity dont come often so he did with i think around 9k$(also i think he took loan for this...) they make the account to almost 70k$(more then he ever has, he was raising me and my sister alone from very early) and then he wanted to withdraw to pay the loan and get the initial investment back so he will be left only with the "profit" for futher investments.
The asistent say to him there will be big tax to pay(19%) but theres a way to avoid it with cryptocurrency. Basicaly when you trade on legitime trading platform you need to pay 19% from wining im my country, but any crypto currency is not yet regulated so its free from tax atm. So instead geting the money directly to his bank account from this scam trading platform he get convinced to make Metamask wallet and he will get pay with cryptocurrency and then they can convert this to fiat currency avoiding tax. And he may have some overall idea what crypto are but he didint educate himself enought. So they sent him those ~70k$ in tokens that they tell him is Tether USDT his accoun addres 0xb67D725052638cB88F5D5333160C6cc6BC659A30. He did receive 69546 tokens that are named USDT but they looks to me like they are personal tokens that are just named this way and have 0$ market value, token addres 0x56f19562f2f25b4f9bd61f2e8319528c2a3ea6bb
After receiving those tokens he did get email from MetaMask support (whih its not posible from my research MetaMask never ask of your email unles you contact theirs via chat and want to submit ticket, i checked this making my own metamask account and chating with assistent from MetaMask on their site and confirmed this to be true) that hiss account is blocked due to receiving bigger than the average amount of money and they need to check from what resource he get it they afraid of money landry, gambling, human trafik etc... and this need veryfication and he need to veryficate his MetaMask account to. ( And again from my research MetaMask is decentralized platform on web3 that will never ask for veryfication?) But he ofcourse can unblock hiss account if he send 2.33ETH on his own account confirming he has acces to this kind of money on regular basic, but he has only 3days to do so or the account is blocked to futher veryfication. He did tell the whole story to hiss assistant from that scam trading platform he tell him that it might happen and if they dont send that 2.33ETH that account might be blocked for long time and they might pay tax if MetaMask send info to authoritis. So he take a loan around 9-10k$ for that 2.33ETH to unblock MetaMask(ofc it never ben blocked but he didint thought of even trying if he can send those tokens somewhere, or he did try but diding know you need some eth on your account to pay gas fee for transfering tokens) and his assistant help him send the money but they were sending from fiat currency to ETH so they overshot and send 2**.**3519 ETH insted of 2.33 u can se it on eth scan transaction from 05.29 10:07 and this eth was transfered 8min later to unknow addres that token he received is either malicious contract or his PC must be compromised i guess ? I did check the contract on revoke and his adress dont have any aprovals confirmed but i also read that malicious contract need approfal forr all other curreny but not for eth is that true?
Then he get another email saying that he send to much of eth and theyirs bot didint detect it and they cant unblock it manually only the bot can do that but he will need to send another 2.33ETH but id need to be exactly that ( like you even can transfer exact number when you converting from fiat and transfering from 1platfor to another i think thats not posible right? theres to many variables to do that) He did get also another email from "fca"(Financial Conduct Authority) that his account is under veryfication and he need to send more informations including of his id photos for his account to go from normal account to licensed account and ofc he didint check the email adres and send all the info and id photos on the whim...
Btw i might mention that my dad did invest his money for like 15/20years but he was doing it on normal legitime platforms just normal stock platforms, never ask for money to invest anythink never take a loan to invest in anythink, and from what i know he was on small + around the same as inflation so it was better than the money layin on the bank account. So i thought he knows his way around the internet and trading market and will not get scamed but it sems he break all the rules in the book.
And thats when i get a calll from my dad that he need to borrow 9k$ he did say he win some money but his account was blocked because they send all the money in one go instead of small amounts, then he did try to unblock it by sending money but they send to much and he need to send another 2.33ETH. From the first time he tell he need to send money to unblock somethink i was worried because theres not even 1legitime firm that would do that, no one would simply use it. I jump into my car and go to him to se whats up with all of it he showed my that site and his metamask wallet and those emails. First thoughts the site promise things that way to good to be true for free. In email they say he need send minium of 2.33 not exactly thats another think, but i didint belife those emails from the start but was trying to explain to my father that it makes no sense and theres always a way to do somethink manually in financial sector not only with bots. Also the tokens he received on MetaMask wallet has no evaluation to $ that sems weird to me but dad say thats because the wallet is blocked. I did try to convert those tokens to anythink else or send them somewhere to se if that accound is actually blocked but didink know at that time you need some eth to cover gas cost. Did also check that he indid received that 2.35eth he send but his wallet showed no eth that also sems weird to me, even if account is blocked that eth should be on the wallet in the balance thats what i thought.
I did remember that you can check wallets in crypto so i did sit down and educate myself for some time and check his wallet adrres on ethscan and follow on that token adress he received and on the site that adres has poor reputation and is checked with spam and phising with big fucking red alert and from that on i started slowly realized what is hapening. Asked father to not send any money futher its all looking fucking sketchy as fuck. Did also checked that 2.35eth he send he didi receive it but it was send to some other adres like 7-8min after receiving it. I beg father to dont do anythink futher and go home and educate myself whats going on. What i figure out : I think that pulse-investment is a scam from the start and its all fiction he get scam from the begining there was no trading at all just some fake program imitating it. MetaMask don;t have your email adres so logically they can't send any to you, and theres only 1person know that dad received tokens at what day and at what time and thats his assistent so its phising email from that site. That token he received is some kind of personal token with 0value that is just named USDT(dad thought is Tether USDT) idk if its malicious token or not ? MetaMask is decentralized on web3 and will not ask you to verificate your wallet so his wallet indid is not blocked he just dont have eth for gas so it just sems he can't use it. I did send him some eth oh his wallet to prove him his wallet is not blocked and he send my some of his token and send himself on his KuCoin adres to, and it all go thru so i was right his wallet is not blocked and this is some fake token just with the same name. U can se this on ethscan its all those 1/2/2token transfers.
Idk what to do i think he slowly starts to realize what the fuck happened but still is disbelif(like sayin his email is integrated with chrome so thats how MetaMask know his adres...). Also i think im the only person knowin of this should i tell his wife and my sister i think they should know. But he did cover for me when i was teenager(self harm) and now it fills like i will betray him, but this will effect not only him but his wife to.
Also i think that money is all gone and theres almost 0% chances to recover it thru any legal actions, at least thats what i read its almost imposible especially that cryptocurrency.
Our actions should probably be report to police, he should block his all documents and make new one. Should close his other trading platform he send his info and where he have other accounts to speed up the verification proces thats what he was told in that fca email, can they make some mess in there? What else we should do.
TLDR Father looks up investments oportunitis finds pulse investments they "make" money fast on fake platform. Want to withdraw been told he can avoid tax with cryto, make MetaMask wallet been sent fake USDT token, then receive email hiss account is blocked send 2.33eth now to unblock it he did that, but it was not exact number. Then ask me to borrow and i get very suspicius form the start.
His Walet Adres 0xb67D725052638cB88F5D5333160C6cc6BC659A30 Token Adres 0x56f19562f2f25b4f9bd61f2e8319528c2a3ea6bb
I think he still don't belife he get scamed idk what to do

But he ofcourse can unblock hiss account if he send 2.33ETH on his own account confirming he has acces to this kind of money on regular basic, but he has only 3days to do so or the account is blocked to futher veryfication. He did tell the whole story to hiss assistant from that scam trading platform he tell him that it might happen and if they dont send that 2.33ETH that account might be blocked for long time and they might pay tax if MetaMask send info to authoritis. So he take a loan around 9-10k$ for that 2.33ETH to unblock MetaMask(ofc it never ben blocked but he didint thought of even trying if he can send those tokens somewhere, or he did try but diding know you need some eth on your account to pay gas fee for transfering tokens) and his assistant help him send the money but they were sending from fiat currency to ETH so they overshot and send 2**.**3519 ETH insted of 2.33 u can se it on eth scan transaction from 05.29 10:07 and this eth was transfered 8min later to unknow addres that token he received is either malicious contract or his PC must be compromised i guess ? I did check the contract on revoke and his adress dont have any aprovals confirmed but i also read that malicious contract need approfal forr all other curreny but not for eth is that true?
Then he get another email saying that he send to much of eth and theyirs bot didint detect it and they cant unblock it manually only the bot can do that but he will need to send another 2.33ETH but id need to be exactly that ( like you even can transfer exact number when you converting from fiat and transfering from 1platfor to another i think thats not posible right? theres to many variables to do that) He did get also another email from "fca"(Financial Conduct Authority) that his account is under veryfication and he need to send more informations including of his id photos for his account to go from normal account to licensed account and ofc he didint check the email adres and send all the info and id photos on the whim...
Btw i might mention that my dad did invest his money for like 15/20years but he was doing it on normal legitime platforms just normal stock platforms, never ask for money to invest anythink never take a loan to invest in anythink, and from what i know he was on small + around the same as inflation so it was better than the money layin on the bank account. So i thought he knows his way around the internet and trading market and will not get scamed but it sems he break all the rules in the book.
And thats when i get a calll from my dad that he need to borrow 9k$ he did say he win some money but his account was blocked because they send all the money in one go instead of small amounts, then he did try to unblock it by sending money but they send to much and he need to send another 2.33ETH. From the first time he tell he need to send money to unblock somethink i was worried because theres not even 1legitime firm that would do that, no one would simply use it. I jump into my car and go to him to se whats up with all of it he showed my that site and his metamask wallet and those emails. First thoughts the site promise things that way to good to be true for free. In email they say he need send minium of 2.33 not exactly thats another think, but i didint belife those emails from the start but was trying to explain to my father that it makes no sense and theres always a way to do somethink manually in financial sector not only with bots. Also the tokens he received on MetaMask wallet has no evaluation to $ that sems weird to me but dad say thats because the wallet is blocked. I did try to convert those tokens to anythink else or send them somewhere to se if that accound is actually blocked but didink know at that time you need some eth to cover gas cost. Did also check that he indid received that 2.35eth he send but his wallet showed no eth that also sems weird to me, even if account is blocked that eth should be on the wallet in the balance thats what i thought.
I did remember that you can check wallets in crypto so i did sit down and educate myself for some time and check his wallet adrres on ethscan and follow on that token adress he received and on the site that adres has poor reputation and is checked with spam and phising with big fucking red alert and from that on i started slowly realized what is hapening. Asked father to not send any money futher its all looking fucking sketchy as fuck. Did also checked that 2.35eth he send he didi receive it but it was send to some other adres like 7-8min after receiving it. I beg father to dont do anythink futher and go home and educate myself whats going on. What i figure out : I think that pulse-investment is a scam from the start and its all fiction he get scam from the begining there was no trading at all just some fake program imitating it. MetaMask don;t have your email adres so logically they can't send any to you, and theres only 1person know that dad received tokens at what day and at what time and thats his assistent so its phising email from that site. That token he received is some kind of personal token with 0value that is just named USDT(dad thought is Tether USDT) idk if its malicious token or not ? MetaMask is decentralized on web3 and will not ask you to verificate your wallet so his wallet indid is not blocked he just dont have eth for gas so it just sems he can't use it. I did send him some eth oh his wallet to prove him his wallet is not blocked and he send my some of his token and send himself on his KuCoin adres to, and it all go thru so i was right his wallet is not blocked and this is some fake token just with the same name. U can se this on ethscan its all those 1/2/2token transfers.
Idk what to do i think he slowly starts to realize what the fuck happened but still is disbelif(like sayin his email is integrated with chrome so thats how MetaMask know his adres...). Also i think im the only person knowin of this should i tell his wife and my sister i think they should know. But he did cover for me when i was teenager(self harm) and now it fills like i will betray him, but this will effect not only him but his wife to.
Also i think that money is all gone and theres almost 0% chances to recover it thru any legal actions, at least thats what i read its almost imposible especially that cryptocurrency.
Our actions should probably be report to police, he should block his all documents and make new one. Should close his other trading platform he send his info and where he have other accounts to speed up the verification proces thats what he was told in that fca email, can they make some mess in there? What else we should do.
TLDR Father looks up investments oportunitis finds pulse investments they "make" money fast on fake platform. Want to withdraw been told he can avoid tax with cryto, make MetaMask wallet been sent fake USDT token, then receive email hiss account is blocked send 2.33eth now to unblock it he did that, but it was not exact number. Then ask me to borrow and i get very suspicius form the start.

I think he still don't belife he get scamed idk what to do

I (f20) went on a dating app and got dm from this dude (m21?) who was relatively good looking and seemed friendly. We chatted and I felt relatively safe as we were similiar in age and I got the impression of a friendly person. So we exchanged personal contacts.
But things felt uncomfortable as this person started texting with a more flirtatious undertone? (Calling me couple nicknames and cussing etc…)
I felt awkward after two days of texting as when asking about hobbies I got back answers that felt pretty incompatible with me.
E.g// What do you enjoy? ANS: Philosophy. When I mentioned nerdy hobbies I liked, the response was fairly off putting (Essentially saying that web novels were gay etc…)
Eventually I received a deleted message from a second contact (Which I ignored), idk maybe this dude was sharing my contacts?
I believe that mystery contact that messaged me was prob the same person as after ghosting I got responses like: “You blocked me? … I won’t talk to you again”. I didn’t block this contact and just deleted it, as I felt that was the right move.
After a few weeks another response from the unblocked second contact: “Hey fatty”.
Safe to say I made the final decision to block that contact.
I can see that some people can be bad at texting and that I over read situations. But I felt this person was pretty disingenuous. Which presents the question AITA? I think partially, but to what extent?
In general I was posting to get a better perspective of the situation from third parties.

If you try to unblock more than 10 people, you will soon find that when you select 'unblock', nothing happens.
This is because there is an unseen throttle on how many unblocks you can perform in a minute.
This only shows up in the logs, but is not exactly a bug, so I thought it might be helpful to instead spread knowledge that this is the case, to save people some time.
It shows up in the logs like so:
[0042.45] DevOnline: WebRequest_X_40 SEND: https://api.epicgames.dev/epic/friends/v1/\[...\]/blocklist/\[...\]\
[0042.57] DevOnline: WebRequest_X_40 RECV: 429 {"errorCode":"errors.com.epicgames.common.throttled","errorMessage":"Operation access is limited by throttling policy, please try again in 47 second(s).","messageVars":["47"],"numericErrorCode":1041,"originatingService":"friends","intent":"prod"}
[0042.57] Log: WebRequest_X_40 type: HTTPError, message: {"errorCode":"errors.com.epicgames.common.throttled","errorMessage":"Operation access is limited by throttling policy, please try again in 47 second(s).","messageVars":["47"],"numericErrorCode":1041,"originatingService":"friends","intent":"prod"}
[0042.57] ScriptLog: EOS: HTTP request failed with error: Operation access is limited by throttling policy, please try again in 47 second(s). (errors.com.epicgames.common.throttled)
There's presumably a good reason for this, it would be nice to see feedback in the UI but it's a rare use case and I doubt it's worth the dev's time unless it's a quick fix.
Irrelevant and even more uninteresting info about why I was doing this spoilered to save you braincells:
I was unblocking people because I had quite a large block list, about 50-100, from when I started RL and played a lot of 1s, plus some people harassed me after I played a streamer smurfing in mid ranks and lost badly. Seems pointless to block toxic people to me now, and I have concerns about the community integration with Epic, as I get framey when I have a lot of people in my friend list online - so I culled my friend list and then thought, why not cull my block list also. Maybe that will save some CPU cycles somehow.

Zelle began as a popular payment platform to make quick transfers to friends and family; in the wake of P2P success, Zelle business accounts have become equally useful for instant, no-free transfers between customers, businesses, and vendors. However, many users have reported that their Zelle payment failed at some point since they started using the service.
If this happens to you, there’s no need to panic. Zelle payments may fail for many reasons, and easy fixes are usually available. In this guide, we’ll look at possible reasons your Zelle payment failed and how to rectify each situation. We’ll also shed light on possible repercussions of payment failures and offer guidance on recovering funds when they disappear despite a transaction failure.
Top 6 Reasons Why Your Zelle Payment Failed & How to Fix It
A red X above the front and back of a pink credit card after a Zelle payment failed.
Failed payments are frustrating, especially when action from the recipient is dependent on the receipt of your payment, as can be the case with P2P (Peer-to-Peer) payments. For instance, suppliers often won’t release stock until they receive a payment from you, and some contractors won’t start work until they receive a deposit. This can present a setback in stock availability or delay projects.
In some cases, securing a property, booking travel, or securing a seat at a conference is subject to receipt of a payment. If your payment fails, you may risk losing out to someone else who snatched the last available spot.
The first step to fixing a failed Zelle payment is understanding why your (or your customer’s) payment didn’t go through. Here are six of the most common reasons for failed Zelle payments—and what to do if they happen to you.

1. Technical Problems and Glitches

As with any tech-driven solution, glitches and other technical issues can cause Zelle payments to fail. These issues might include server downtime, Zelle app bugs, or device or internet connection problems.
Server Downtime
The Zelle app depends on internal company servers to maintain communication between network banks. If Zelle servers are experiencing downtime, there’s usually nothing you can do except wait until Zelle resolves the issue on their side. You can check websites like DownDetector to see if there are any known outages.
Server downtime generally doesn’t last too long, as Zelle understands the impact these issues can have on its clients and reputation. Zelle thus aims to minimize server problems and sort out issues ASAP.
Application Bugs
If you’re using the Zelle app on your mobile device and experiencing payment failures due to a buggy application, try updating the Zelle app. On an Android device, open the Google Play Store, search for “Zelle,” and tap on it to open the app page. If updates are available for download, you’ll see an option to do so.
On an iOS device, launch the App Store. Tap on your profile picture, scroll down to “Available Updates,” and look for Zelle. Tap the “Update” button if available.
Device or Internet Issues
Sometimes, payment failures result from issues with your device or internet connection. Ensure your device has a stable internet connection, and try restarting it to troubleshoot any temporary glitches. Additionally, clearing your browser cache and cookies can sometimes resolve issues if you are accessing your bank profile in a web browser.

1. Closed or Suspended Recipient Bank Account

The reason your Zelle payment failed could also be due to a problem on the recipient’s end. Zelle will decline your payment if the recipient’s account has been blocked.
In this case, the recipient must restore their account to receive payments from anyone. They will usually need to contact Zelle support directly to address the issue. If they enrolled through their bank’s app, they may also need to contact their banking institution to get the account unblocked.
Once Zelle (or the bank) reinstates their account, try making the payment again. It should be successful this time round.

1. Incorrect Recipient Contact Information

Even if it’s just one incorrect digit or character, wrong recipient contact information arises as a frequent cause of digital payment failure. If your Zelle failed payment, check with the recipient to ensure you have the correct details.
Sending someone a payment request from Zelle is an easy way to ensure that the paying party uses the correct information. By issuing a payment request from the recipient’s side, the sender has to respond by authorizing the payment—instead of entering their details from scratch.
Zelle will decline the payment if you send a payment to an email address or mobile number that does not exist. However, if you send a payment to an incorrect mobile number or email address registered with Zelle, you will send money to the wrong person. As part of the user policy, Zelle will not reverse or refund payment once you have authorized it.
Always confirm that you have accurate recipient details. After successfully making the first payment, save the recipient in your profile to have the correct information for future payments.
New Recipients
If you are sending a payment to a new recipient, such as a supplier who recently signed up for Zelle, verify they are enrolled with the service beforehand. With US Bank, for instance, a purple “Z” will appear below the recipient’s name if they are registered with Zelle. This way, you’ll know you have the correct details.

If the recipient is not registered with Zelle, they will get a notice after you pay. The notice will provide instructions on how to register and access the funds. They will need to do so with the mobile number or email address you sent the money to; if they don’t register within 14 days, Zelle will return the funds to you.

1. Insufficient Funds

If you try to pay with insufficient funds in your linked bank account, the payment won’t go through. You will receive an automated error message; the notification will usually explain the reason for payment failure.
In this case, the fix is pretty straightforward. You must transfer more money into your Zelle-linked bank account to ensure enough funds are available. Once you have done so, try again.

1. You Have a High-Risk Business

Zelle prohibits using its services for certain business types, often classified as high-risk businesses. This includes the sale of firearms and related products, pharmaceuticals, sexually oriented materials, gambling, cryptocurrency, and pyramid schemes, among others.
Zelle will suspend, freeze, or terminate your account if you are suspected of using the service for any prohibited industry activities—even if your business is legitimate. Most digital payment platforms and wallets, including Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, prohibit high-risk business transactions; however, all is not lost.
A merchant services provider can help find safe and convenient payment processing solutions for even the most high-risk merchants. They offer multiple payment methods, allowing your customers to pay in a way that suits them, and they won’t freeze client accounts since they’re equipped to deal with high-risk industries.

1. You’ve Reached Your Daily, Weekly, or Monthly Transfer Limit

Every bank in Zelle’s network sets limits on the maximum amount of funds you can transfer. Limits vary by bank and can apply to daily, weekly, and monthly transactions. When registering your Zelle business account, it’s important to confirm transaction limits with your financial institution—and plan payments accordingly to avoid payment failures.
Zelle will decline the transactions if you try to make any payments over the transfer limit. In this case, you’ll have to wait until a new limit period starts. For instance, if your daily limit is $500 and you have already reached this amount, you’ll have to wait until the next day to complete any further transfers.
What to Do if Your Zelle Payment Failed But the Money’s Gone
If your Zelle payment failed but money was taken from your account, check the payment status. If the payment is “pending,” it means the recipient has not yet enrolled with Zelle. They will, however, receive a notification with instructions. As soon as they complete their registration, they will receive the funds.
On the other hand, if the payment status says “completed” but the recipient did not receive the money, contact your bank or Zelle ASAP. They can investigate the issue and determine the reason for failure if it is not automatically returned.
Before contacting your bank, ensure that you have used the correct sender details and have not exceeded your payment limits. Zelle payments are irreversible and cannot be canceled or refunded if you make an error. Furthermore, Zelle does not offer purchase protection.
Given these caveats, Zelle may not be the best payment method for transactions in which you’re not entirely sure of the receiver’s safety or legitimacy. Consider using a credit card instead when purchasing supplies or services from new vendors—this way, you will at least have some purchase protection.
Payment Methods for Success Beyond Zelle
Whether it’s a frustrated customer, delayed arrival of stock, or overdue wages, failed payments can cause many complications and have numerous knock-on effects. Although Zelle offers free and fast transactions, its limitations can make it less than suitable as the primary payment method for a growing business. Its lack of versatility and business integrations makes it time-consuming for business owners to manage their finances and offers little payment flexibility or security.

Hey everyone,
Recently, I was helping a friend, who had just finished a bootcamp, by coding a small React project together on a Zoom call. She found it really helpful to pair program live, and it made me realize that there might be others who could benefit from this kind of support too.
A few of my friends, who are also experienced software engineers, and I have been in similar situations ourselves (and still are when we’re learning something new). It kind of made us miss college, where you could just go to office hours and have a TA or professor help you out.
So, as an experiment, we’ve registered codingofficehours@gmail.com. If you’re stuck on any kind of software engineering problem, feel free to email us and we’ll try to help! Across the group, we’ve got a fairly diverse set of experiences - web dev, AWS, various backend stacks, some hardware, firmware, desktop. If we think we can unblock you, we’ll send you a calendly link and grab time for a zoom call.
Please share this with others who might find it useful. Good luck!

What Does Open Proxy Mean on Instagram?

Instagram has stringent rules regarding its usage, and encountering an "Open Proxy" error indicates that you won't be able to access the app or website from the device using the flagged IP address. This typically means Instagram has banned your IP, rejecting all data requests sent from it.

What May Cause This?

1. Excessive liking, commenting, or following/unfollowing accounts.
2. An IP address associated with past malicious activities on the platform.
3. Using public Wi-Fi that has been exploited for malicious purposes.
4. Unrecognized login attempts or posting unusual content.
5. Clicking on links from unfamiliar sources.

How to Fix Instagram Open Proxy Error?

The first step is to try unblocking access directly through Instagram support, though success is often limited, especially if your actions still violate the platform's rules. Another option is using an Instagram proxy. An Instagram proxy acts as an intermediary server, masking your device’s IP address and providing an additional layer of privacy and security. This setup allows your device to communicate with Instagram via the proxy server, which forwards your requests on your behalf.

The Power of Instagram Unblock Proxy

Beyond resolving IP bans, Instagram proxies offer various advantages, such as managing multiple accounts, growing followers, and scraping information. Here’s what you can do with Instagram unblock proxies:

1. Access Unblocked: Proxies can help bypass restrictions in workplaces, educational institutions, or countries. While VPNs provide comprehensive security and privacy, proxies are faster as they do not encrypt the entire internet connection.
2. Manage Multiple Accounts: Instagram allows up to five accounts per user. Proxies are essential for handling more than a few accounts, preventing your IP from being flagged by Instagram.
3. Grow Followers: Multiple accounts with unique profiles and content strategies can attract more followers. While this approach may not be entirely ethical, adhering to Instagram’s guidelines ensures sustainable growth.

How to Use Instagram Proxy Effectively?

1. Assign One Account per Proxy: Allocate just one account to a distinct proxy to prevent potential banning issues. Choose high-quality, reputable proxy providers with IP rotation and advanced security features.
2. Scrape Slowly: Use web scraping tools or custom scripts in programming languages like Python. Mimic human behavior by adding random pauses between requests and limiting concurrent requests.
3. Avoid Free Proxies: Free proxies are often unreliable and insecure. They are usually overcrowded, slow, and may not provide privacy or anonymity. Known free proxy IP addresses are actively blocked by Instagram.

OkeyProxy is a top choice for Instagram proxies. Offering rotating residential, static residential, and data center proxies, OkeyProxy’s rotating residential proxies, obtained from authentic residential users, make your Instagram bot nearly identical to real users, allowing you to automate tasks without the risk of being blocked.

Hello,
