Since yesterday freerepublic.com's server refuses a connection when I use VPN. Any other VPN users have this problem? All other websites are accessible to me.

Posting this via “Tunnel Bear VPN” with no issues.

They have 500mb per month free if you want to do some testing:

Your routing table is prolly being modified by the VPN service.

Using the terminal, console, type:

route print

to see what the default route is before and after connecting to the VPN. The default route is 0.0.0.0. The Gateway should be the same before and after. Also name resolution when connected to the VPN:

nslookup freerepublic.com

I know that it’s an old thread but if to speak about security I trust only to fineproxy private server, https://buy.fineproxy.org/eng/index.html . I know that hackers are very clever nowadays and they can very easy steal your personal information. So I prefer to hide my IP address when it’s possible + I use tor browser always.
