Understood, but (a) how does that mean the company is really based/controlled by the PRC? (aside from ExpressVPN as you detailed
and(b) isn’t it the case that their paperwork/shell showing them in the BVI is the legal basis that they can avoid keeping and/or providing logs?
Try Virtual shield. It does not seem to do this for the Mac email, but yes it does it to the Outlook.
[(a) how does that mean the company is really based/controlled by the PRC?]
I use NORD
Paid or free version?
I ask because I believe ExpressVPN’s tech support is connected with their paid service. Not sure what options they offer for Free users.
I have not had this issue with KeepSolid VPN Unlimited.
There’s lots of reasons to have multiple email accounts - from personal business vs. personal to my case - where I have an account I use for anything that requires an email address, but I don’t really want to hear from them again (I call it a SPAM Filter).
They are on PAID version of expressVPN
re KeepSolid VPN Unlimited- are any outlook accounts accessed thru Mac Mail while the VPN is enabled?
thx.
Good recipe for a Mac Pro Laptop is ........
1. Proton VPN , NordVPN or PIA VPN
2. Proton E-Mail
3. Tor Browser setting “safest” ....
4. Tails OS
5. Zero personal data or media on your computer you use for surfing the net
6. WiFi Spoof that changes your MAC address every few minutes
Yes, but for exchange server/ outlook accounts, I use outlook app for that mail. I dont let it intermingle.
Thank you!
thx!
So when you use the Outlook application on Mac with that VPN on, outlook doesn’t break your email connection and demand verification or does it just keep working?
I have one outlook account that I access with Apple Mail.
From all the research I did when I was contemplating paying for service - the very best VPN (from a privacy perspective) is one that is based in a country that does NOT cooperate with US and other nation’s anti-privacy laws.
Obviously - as the info on ExpressVPN indicates - they are actually a Hong Kong company - thus have tentacles of China wrapped up - so no assurance of any sort of privacy.
A US Based company is still beholden to US laws and subpoena/court order power (including patriot act unconstitutional invasion).
I would have to look back at my notes from over a year ago when I was digging for details about which countries are most VPN friendly.
That is the likely scenario when dealing with VPN service. They, by design, reroute your internet traffic through servers and IP addresses that are not logical to your normal location and machine/local IP. So some authentication servers will complain and seek two-factor authentication. I”m not sure there is a total, sure-fire workaround
VPN Unlimited is what I use (It’s from a company called KeepSolid).
You and me both.

And no problem with that outlook account accessed in Apple Mac mail when your vpn is on? Thats the issue I am trying to solve! THANK YOU.
