No. Stay away from these sites. They’re only reason to exist is because they have builtin their promo-code into each β€œtry this vpn” button. Giving them a cut of whatever you end up paying for the vpn service. These promo deals that these vpn companies have going are also incredibly lucrative for those promoting them, often giving them 20-40% of the cut.

I think this is unfair because their articles are low quality and often just copied from other sites.

There are mainly 3 vpns you should consider:

  • MullvadVPN.
  • ProtonVPN.
  • IVPN.

  • runs windows.

Let me present to you https://bazzite.gg ✨ (I assume it’s easy to flash these things just like on the other brands)

Budget wise, maybe 50-80EUR per person.

Completely understand your frustration with this… This isn’t their first rodeo when it comes to these popup sales either… I know there have been multiple other posts about this here on Lemmy previously. Anyway keep us posted, I’ve done my part and upvoted the uservoice post πŸ‘

Thanks for the insight though! Feel like it’s a lot better trying than not to. Worst come to worst I continue using my mobile Hotspot which they pay for.

As far as I was told at least, they use Intune to distribute these, don’t think they want to β€œhand them out manually”.

Yeah, they do not officially support us using Linux. However, I would like to see whether Intune can be easily installed on Linux machines so that I can create documentation for those employees who wish to use Linux over Windows/Mac.

Intune is the only way for us to get Wi-Fi certificates(AFAIK), that’s why it’s needed. On windows it’s baked in or whatever, but obviously not on Linux.

Defo some good points! It’s just as soon as those polls are on a third-party site i feel like a lot less people are going to bother/engage with the poll - instead of a simple click in the lemmy-ui.
