Don't use VPN services.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

  • There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

* jobs that Django couldn't. For example, you may have a Django app
* managing your user accounts and another real-time service or application
* running on Node, then you probably will need to read Django user session
* to authenticate users in the Node project.
*
* This gist is not production ready yet, but it demonstrates how could it
