I just read the security post about the user who received the AT&T letter. Do you think it was possibly caused from DNS leaking? ---

**Gentlemen,** I just watched a video by Tom Scott on the eleven Forum where he basically says because we all have HTTPS that we don’t need a VPN and that we are give all our information plus credit card info to the VPN company that are all owned by 2 or 3 big corporations. He also says that people who push the product makes $$$. I have Nord and it nothing but aggravation and customer service is useless fixing my issue. All I want to do is go to [Trijicon.com](http://Trijicon.com) and I keep getting 403 Forbidden. Please educate me, all I do is stream movies, do I even need a VPN? **Thank You.** ---

No, for that website you do not need a VPN. Instead the problem is Browser settings. Unclick the https only or if possible continue advanced etc. ---

Hello Troy, I just want to ask what you think of Surfshark VPN’s Antivirus Protection. I subscribed to Surfshark long ago when you were using and recommending it. I subscribed to their Antivirus Protection and so far, it seems to be working. Now you are using and recommending Vipre Antivirus. Is it better than Surfshark? ---

Troy, I understand the hesitancy to use a credit card when purchasing a service, i.e. IPTV, RD, etc. But are you comfortable giving your drivers license to a crypto company like Coinbase, Topper, etc? I saw that revealing a document such as a drivers license is a major way to be the victim of identity theft. Thoughts? ---

So now new patrons allowed. patron cost expensive since the last time I looked. How come? How can you pay for a debrid and totally keep your name out of it? I was told to buy a prepaid card. Good. How to send the money and get the code to create debrid and keep your name and location private in can the movie police confiscate a debrid home log in files?
