It was such a long time ago, I don’t remember. All I remember is that everything that required an internet connection was multiple times slower than normal. I don’t reside in a popular location so to my knowledge, I don’t think there’s nearby servers and such that would make my VPN connection ok. Although i could be wrong with my limited knowledge.

I had a family member and also a friend with a paid VPN that experienced the same issues so I don’t want to waste my money on it if I don’t have to, to be honest.

Awesome. Thanks to you both for your replies. Will keep the mobile data thing in mind, wasn’t aware of that in general.

Forgive me for my lack of knowledge but would all my devices in my home be under the same public IP address, whether wifi or directly connected to an ethernet cable? Or is it something more complicated than what I mentioned?

I have 4 firesticks in my home all connected to the same source (my provider’s modem) that’s connected via the ethernet adapter Amazon sells. Don’t plan on sharing my real debrid account to anyone outside of my home.
