Ventura - VPN - DNS issues

Hello ladies & gentlemen,


I used free version of VPN planet and then paid version of Cyberghost.

This caused very serious connectivity problems to the point where the machine, even when connected to the wifi router, could no longer access the internet. I received an alert confirming DNS problems, I wasted three weeks (yes it's true, I also have a full time job) doing research, no solution worked and I took the decision to reinstall a new version of Ventura causing other problems because the recovery system failed to install Ventura, adding to keyboard problems. I had to reinstall Ventura via internet recovery and the way to find out how to do it was full of pitfalls.

No user should have to experience such inconveniences. I'm not a MACOS specialist and I haven't studied IT. I buy these products to avoid such problems. I simply need to use a VPN to access French TV. It turns out that a basic need can not be met with a machine that cost 4 000 GBP.


My question is simple: which VPN do you recommend to avoid such DNS problems on Ventura?


P.S. Don't advise me to buy a new machine. Thanks for your help.


Merry Christmas

Michelle

It is not illegal, since I pay the content I am watching.
So according to you, it is illegal to hide IP address for security reasons?
Most of the time, my vpn is located where I live

Just because you pay for it does not make it legal to stream the content outside of the country where it is licensed.

Contact the service you are subscribed to and ask them how you can view the content outside of your country.
