    Proxy vs. VPN

    So i usually use proxies for different accounts, but that can be time consuming when i am shifting between them. If i purchase a VPN, how does that work? Do i just enter the vpn info (or whatever you have to do, ive never used it although im assuming you do something similar to a proxy), and then i am free to login my accounts without having to do anything in between? Help a technologically challenged individual out please

    In a simple way, a VPN can be a program or extension in your browser, you can active or deactivate it with a simple click, you just select the country you would like to be in, but you can't use it for multiple tasking, like for example score send in two different accounts at the same time. So, it's easier to use if you want to manage an account at once

    Oh, also... if you would like to try free vpn service to see how it works ''tunnelbear'' it's a simple/good one

    i understand that, but does it change your ip? in other words, if i switch neopets account, will neopets know i am visiting multiple accounts from the same ip, or is my ip blocked completely? sorrry im a noob.

    Payed VPN service guarantee to hide your ip, but, let's say you have account A and account B and you want both to be in the same country: US, but in different locations, with proxies you get two different one from the US and configure them in your browser, with VPN you activate it for the US, log in account A, then deactivate it and re activate it for US and log in account B, cause you will get a new ip every time you turn it on. In the case the VPN works by extension you will have you ip changed in the browser is installed, and your computer ip will remind in the other browsers but if it works by a program your whole computer will work with the ip used by the proxy. This is bases on my own experience, as long as I know all payed VPNs work the same, but I'm not an expert

    With my VPN, I use CyberGhost 6, you log in and pick your country but then you can also pick what city you want to log in from and favorite it so if you want to log into an account from the same IP every time, it's no problem. I've heard covermyass is another good provider.

    Proxies are better for cheating. If you're actually playing go with a VPN

    I think proxy is better...

    I really need some good proxys so I can run programs (like the Stealth CORE) on my shells at the same time I'm playing with my semi-legit main

    btw, if anyone knows how to get some always-working elite proxys, I am really interested.

    I don't use programs [i'm just stupid for managing them xD] so, all i need for softly multi accounting is a VPN.

    I use tunelbear, is not unlimited.
    Does anyone have a suggestion of a VPN extension?
