Longtime Mullvad user, always been happy. But when Mullvad was still a small service it was unusual to have any problems when browsing the web with their IPs.

Recently, many services can detect you're on a VPN when using Mullvad and block or ban you, which means they've become successful enough that there are countrer-VPN databases including all of their IPs.

It's the same with Nord. I have to pause my VPN any time I want to access Fextralife wikis

Ah, Fextralife. For when you want the top half of the screen taken up by a video advert, and the bottom half taken by a giant consent form.

The day we strayed from GameFAQs was a dark day indeed.

It's pretty awful but it's always the first search result for anything souls related. It's bearable with an adblocker though

This is Bing Chat's killer feature. Search for a specific game question and it'll just spit out the answer with no bullshit.
