I only use this when I'm using a torrent program. Blocked Charter from seeing what I'm downloading. I got tired of them emailing me saying I'm breaking the rule on downloading movies. So far it works. Have something to do with the open IP.
By the way. You probably need to check for IP change when you use one. That way you will know it works or not. It will say what country and IP is. This is a good website for checking. https://whatismyipaddress.com/ip-lookup
