Q: Why can't my Windows 10 device reach the internet when VPN is connected but my Windows 7 one can?

I'm in China with an old Win7 netbook and a new Win10 tablet. Formerly, either device would work on Wi-Fi with or without VPN but of course I needed VPN for Google, Facebook, etc. Recenently the Win10 tablet's Wi-Fi goes to "limited" each time I connect to VPN and returns to normal each time I ...

hippietrail

well there's now two ways for google to index the questions and answers so no problemo

looks like it's not just similar to in hong kong but like it will actually be sent to hong kong so probably another fee on top and thus more expensive

@MarkMayo, at 9, this may be the highest number of concurrent open bounties in history. Certainly within my own experience I have never seen so many. Tomorrow with the opening of the competition, there is a chance to make it 10 depending upon their expiries.
