1. Describe the problem:
I am an active VPN user, and their unreliability drives me crazy. Services are constantly blocked, speed is unstable, and the connection can drop at the most inconvenient moment. The same VPN might work perfectly on home Wi-Fi but fail completely on a mobile carrier's network. There is no way to know in advance whether a specific provider will work in the network and location I need.
2. How often does the problem occur?
The problem occurs daily. Every time I connect to a VPN on a new network (café, public transport, another city), I play roulette: will it work or not? This disrupts workflows and is extremely irritating.
3. What attempts have you made to solve the problem?
I've tried several popular paid VPNs. I've attempted to find reviews and ratings, but they are static and don't reflect the real-time situation "here and now" across different networks. As a result, I use several simultaneously, which is both inconvenient and expensive.
4. How much are you willing to pay for the solution?
I am willing to pay for one reliable VPN that works guaranteed. But I am even more willing to pay for an independent monitoring service that would show in real-time the speed, stability, and availability of all major VPN providers across different networks and cities. This would help make an informed decision when subscribing.
