[Trainer-Talk] looking for an accessible and high quality VPN for the PC

Tue Nov 24 03:58:28 UTC 2020

Hello:

I use a service called Hide.me VPN, which is somewhat accessible with NVDA. Most of the settings listviews and buttons are labeled. It appears that some work has been done on it to improve accessibility because when I started using it a few years ago, it wasn't that accessible. 

http://hide.me/

They offer 10 GB for free and one can renew (or extend) the plan as many times as one likes, and they claim to do "no logs" on your activity. 

Happy VPNing

Hi, I was typing too fast and so didn't spell it correctly. It's NordVPN. The site is www.nordvpn.com. My mistake.

Hope that helps.

> Hello, the two main VPN services that I have used are Private Internet Access, PIA, and Mordvpn. With both of those, I found that the native Windows client is not the best. Not even using the Jaws touch cursor or the nvda review mode seems to make it work better. However, considering how much I like the services because of everything else they offer I have decided to continue to use them but when I do it from Windows I will simply use openvpn, which is a free and open source software. Both VPN services that I mentioned have openvpn configurations that you can manually configure. It takes a little more work but it makes it completely accessible to use a VPN from windows. Also, if you are only interested in applying VPN protection to your browser, the Mordvpn Chrome extension works very well.
