Lord Tin Foilhat tinfoilhat, dumb question. but does the vpn ONLY work on the computer using the software? example: i'm downloading some stuff on my desktop right now, with the vpn going. its connected to iceland. when i do an IP check on my laptop, it shows my comcast IP.

I'm assuming most VPNs only allow one piece of hardware to be connected at a time?

correct, only works on the specific device unless you set it up on your router to do it to all devices on the network.

most will allow 1-5 connections. Connect the laptop while the desktop is connected and see what happens. Or you just make another free account. If you are using ProtonVPN, I think they are 1 connection per free user

Ya its already off. Its just weird. I'll physically exit the program and then sometimes when I wake the computer, the program will start up and try to connect. Not always though.
hm weird. can probably turn off the "start when windows does" too

or it would be a scheduled task in windows task scheduler to start up

Kind of didnt keep track of my data usage this month and I'm close to going over for a 3rd time in a row (been downloading shows for Plex so I dont have to use Hulu, Neflix, etc for repeat shows) and now I need to ration out my datas like some poor until Sunday. I never noticed how dark my living room can get at this time of day.

That's why I changed my Comcast plan to unlimited data...I had 2 strikes against me and didn't want to worry about going over again.
