LindaH Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Anyone familiar with Disconnect? http://mashable.com/2017/06/13/how-to-stay-anonymous-online/#_fHmHI41gmqS The $49 sale price for a lifetime subscription looks like a good deal, but I don't know anything about it (or much about VPN's for that matter). I'm not really interested in paying a monthly fee for a VPN. LindaH 2014 Winnebago Aspect 27K 2011 Kia Soul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Laninga Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 I run the Opera browser which comes with a free ad blocker and VPN. Works great, is totally free. I use it on my MacBook, my Win 10 machine, and my Android devices. On Android, there is a separate VPN, also free. There are some things to be aware of, like on some of my bank accounts I have to turn VPN off because they won't allow an anonymous connection. But you can't complain about something because it works well!

Ron Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 I just went to the "disconnect me" website and my Java Script Blocker detected that they were using canvas fingerprinting - hummm.

Better to have a single site know than every other site . At least you know which site has that singular information . Seriously , an example , I use a weather site for obvious reasons . That site has 37 sub requests for information which get get blocked by Disconnect . Goes around , comes around . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaH Posted June 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Has anyone tried to buy Disconnect from the Mashable site -- and been successful? I purchased it on Saturday and received a Confirmation email. The email was blank, but the Subject line had the Confirmation number. I did not receive any download link. Despite emailing them three times about the situation, I never heard anything back, so this afternoon, I put in a dispute with my credit card company. Seems like Mashable is a scam site?
