Unfortunately, I didn't say Free VPN. services are outdated but they are crap. That's a completely different statement. Therefore, the comparison makes no sense at all. Although off-topic, you are right. The cat needs definitely help , but in Munich, the state capital of Bavaria. It's far away from here.

First read and then write is always a good idea: This thread is about VPN in Windows XP. Nice cat, but unfortunately, completely misplaced and off-topic! And by the way, I already have a cat, and I do really know what to do with my time if I'm not wasting it in unnecessary posts. But in this case, I'm going to make an exception, just for you. I hope you appreciate that.

Avoiding Russisn, Asian or American VPN servers is a very good idea for a European, if possible, of course, and if privacy and anonymity is important. Due to many well-known reasons. It doesn't matter whether someone is located France or Germany. The connections are too slow, physically induced. Americans are feeding permanently NSA & Co, presumably and hopefully against their will. Privacy and anonymity do not really exist in the USA. Have fun with Ultrasurf, @msfntor! Data collectors are already looking forward to it. And give my regards to the NSA!

Unfortunately, not!

You should first use the search function before posting such "news"! The problem has been known for years. It has nothing to do with Legacy Update. MU and WU show the same misbehaviour. So I chose KB4486463 as a dummy update in one of my fixes long ago: Therefore, nothing new in the West! You seem to have used the AU/WU service never before. Otherwise, you'd have noticed that misbehaviour long time ago.

@artenox! Everything related to Proxomitron Reborn should be posted here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183295-web-browser-proxomitron-reborn-ptrongui-a-how-to-guide/#comment-1211610 In any case, Proxomitron Reborn is not a topic here and has to be considered as off-topic.

I use paid VPN services with no log policy as described months ago, and therefore I have the ability to choose from a wide range of servers. Only European servers provide good speed for a German or European user. And of course, I mean UK servers, too. Being more specific wouldn't make any sense unless you'd own appropiate licenses for the same services. In any case, the quality of VPN servers varies significantly. And, once again, nearly all "Free VPN" services are compulsorily crap in one way or another. But, as someone here always likes to say:

@D.Draker! Ok, I tried the search function of MSFN, too. Good news, no Russian influence and no operating errors! The search function of MSFN is not satisfying in many cases. I can't find a lot of things at all. Maybe, there is a content filter which does not allow to search for the string "VPN". Or it is too short. Anyway! Simply put, the search function is rather a malfunction in some cases!

Thanks for your kind words! Alternatives are always a good thing, of course. Unfortunately, the embedded TLS proxy in your Proxomitron Reborn is totally outdated. This is a quote from my article: And, my program package ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3 is based on ProxyMII and hence much more recent. This thread is about the pure TLS proxies That said, Proxomitron Reborn is not the topic here. There is a separate thread for that in MFSN.

What do you exactly mean?

When I am in the need of VPN, I use special European servers, but not German ones due some reasons. And, do not forget: Europe is Germany -> false. Simple Boolean Algebra! Maybe, the Russians are blocking your search function! Or, although I can hardly imagine it, your search settings were not particularly well chosen.

Did I say German servers? No. I said European servers! I wrote many posts with complete information about all important facts in terms of VPN. For example here: Or here: And here: For more, use the forum search! And, I do not use German servers at all. I choose my European servers carefully. I have more than 20 years of experience and in-depth knowledge of VPN in Windows XP. But that's not what we were talking about in the recent posts.

What world do you live in? If not American, then you have to use Russian servers? I haven't heard so much nonsense in a long time. Since you don't seem to know anything else, I'll give you a tip. We live in Europe and I prefer European servers. Pretty logical, isn't it?

More than very slow. I have tested it in contrast to you as it seems. I am interested in real facts and not in subjective opinions. Connections to American servers only are not a good choice. For many reasons!

Normally, @feodor2 released new versions nearly every two months. Now, it is more than three months ago since his last release. Hope all is well!

The description "both work well" is a very subjective thing. Unsolicited connection to American servers and a connection speed beyond good and evil rather mean "both don't work well". Which means you didn't test it. A few years ago is not today, unfortunately.

There is no Firefox extension for this "VPN service" called Ultrasurf. And, the Windows client is rather a joke. I had to allow all connections of this client in my firewall to get it work, which I never had to do before for a VPN client and don't like to do. Next problem, you can't choose a certain location. Therefore, I was connected instantly to the USA without asking me. No good! And for a European, certainly not! Furthermore, the connection is as expected very slow, not to mention security and privacy concerns in terms of NSA & Co. In general, I would really like to ask you if you have actually tested any of what you recommend here? I am just beginning to doubt that.

All offered versions on Mozilla are for Firefox browsers 91.0.0 and later. And regarding old, abandoned versions for a VPN service, if they exist at all, don't work anymore in general.

Hello @soggi! Wish you and your family an unproblematic and quick recovery! I had my first SARS-CoV-2 infection several weeks ago, despite triple vaccination, and still suffer from a permanent coughing. Very persistent! But I hope you and your family get through it without any problems! Kind regards, AstroSkipper

This topic is about VPN in Windows XP. Browsec VPN is an VPN extension for Firefox browsers 91.0.0 and later. In Windows XP, there are no browsers which this extension can be installed in. Therefore, I do not understand such recommendation. It is rather misleading and off-topic.

Unfortunately, Chrome 49 is an old, abandoned browser. There is no one who will fix or modify such old Chrome browsers. Therefore, I don't think that this will ever be fixed. The only hope is that it can be fixed by a polyfill script or an extension like Chromefill if it can be done with that. At the moment, however, the Chromefill extension does not even solve the problems with GitHub. It would have to be updated considerably, which has probably not been the case recently. So all in all, there is little hope.

Ah, it was you! Ok, joking aside! Thank you for reading my article! Hope you could enhance your knowledge and you enjoyed it. What is so complicated? Actually, there is nothing complicated. To be honest, it is quite simple. In the first post, you will find everything that has to do with TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 proxies. Also a lot of background information. It is a complete article containing all the necessary information about these proxies and the programs provided here. Perhaps, this has overwhelmed you a little. You don't necessarily have to read everything, but can also concentrate on what information is needed. Writing such an article was a lot of hard work, by the way, not to mention the programming work. Proxomitron is a local HTTP web-filtering proxy. In contrast, the TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 proxies ProxHTTPSProxy, HTTPSProxy, ProxyMII and my program packages ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu provide modern nag-free HTTPS connections for an HTTP/HTTPS proxy such as Proxomitron. Therefore, they cannot be compared with each other. They are different and do diferent jobs. Therefore, your statement is kind of pointless. If you have any questions referring to my article, and this seems to be the case, do not hesitate to ask here! Kind regards, AstroSkipper

If you can't interpret an answer or don't understand it either linguistically or in terms of content, please use a translation service! And Google can't translate properly. So if you used the Google Translator to understand my answer, then this inappropriate response is clear to me: "Take it easy, pretty please." If not, then you need to improve your English considerably. My reply was meant to be friendly, hence the Sherlock. PS: And please stop guessing what others might think! It's a pretty bad habit! Do not think for others! Others have to think for themselves, and they will do that, of course.

That would be misunderstood politeness! Even though English is not my mother tongue, scientific contexts must be presented correctly, otherwise it would be worthless. That's how it should be in the natural sciences.
