    Every single time I am on a mobile phone on Opera, and I have a VPN running, I get asked to click on 5 bicycles, 10 buses, 8 cars, 9 bridges. Whatever it asks me to select!

    Anybody else find that is rather annoying? :(

    And just about each time this occurs too, should I choose to clear my cookies.

    I don't use a VPN, so don't know. I can say that while people legit use them to be anonymous...so do a lot of spammers, so there are most likely things like that in place to determine if you are a bot or not.

    Yeah. That's a big problem too.

    I remember before they invented the security they have now, you would get all kinds of dodgy private messages.

    Unless you want to view or listen to some thing in other countries.No real point on wasting money it.There are Free ones but Most VPN's Tend to slow down your internet connection.They are all so unsafe in public places.Too many spammers and hackers use them in order to scam people out of money.

    Really depends on your usecase and vpn provider. I use it to watch stuff in England or the USA and that's about it. Norton's service is surprisingly good.
