Seems like you are experimenting a lot on VPN. I generally use ToR. Can you suggest a good VPN for personal use.

Has to be ExpressVPN without a doubt when you're based in India or other countries. Used or tried over a dozen to narrow down to just this provider.

TOR has too much network latency, this is ok for certain scenarios but not all.

PS - I am not experimenting with those VPNs. I actually use them. ExpressVPN is my favourite.

Prime. Free shipping is just a bonus. Tried Netflix demo but the collection is poor. Hotstar is not for me. I'd rather rent a movie on iTunes.

Skillshare. IMO Udemy is Facebook and Skillshare is Twitter. Quick, to the point, short clips with more meat per minute.

Grammarly. Doesn't hurt to get a second opinion. It's especially useful for me coz I'm in the 'writing' profession. Full price seems high so I wait for a good 40-50% discount offer.

poloslg · 10th January 2018, 23:32

My list:

- Google Drive (1 TB plan)
- Spotify (Family plan)
- NYTimes.com (absolutely love their content quality)
- the-ken.com
- E2E Networks - for the bad boy servers running Team-BHP

- MailChimp (Team-BHP Newsletters)
- Tapatalk (for the useless Android & iOS Team-BHP Apps)
- Two other SaaS I'd rather not name (used for the Team-BHP Store)
- Amazon Prime / Prime Video
- Office 365 (annual plan)
.

- Google Drive 100 GB (Life saver. No need to backup different cameras into CDs and Laptops)
- Amazon Prime - free shipping for Amazon buff. Video is an advantage.
- Google Play Music - Great Fidelity and Location/Day/Time based playlists. Average collection though.
- Jio Mags - Free but worth 1k/month. Read most magazines and Chacha Chaudhary comics to my kid at bedtime. Nostalgic
- Netflix - Average colection, but sharing with a friend so not bad.
- Hotstar - Primarily for live streaming of cricket matches on projector and move.
- Runtastic Premium - Got it free via a hack. Worth it at this price.
- Ola Select - Sedan cabs at Hatch prices. Airport lounge access - 1 per day unlike Credit card plans. Have a hack to share it across family.

Well, not a home lab but I am interested in network and IT security.

sandeep.k · 11th January 2018, 13:08

Netflix ( I consider this indulgence at the rate I watch Netflix versus how much I pay for it - 650 per month )
Amazon prime ( Free delivery + video content at ~40 per month when I subbscribed, value! )
Itunes ( 120 per month and all the music in the world )
Hotstar ( only when I need to watch GoT )
Sunnxt ( at 50 per month, super value with good collection of south movies )
Google drive -100GB ( ~100 per month good enough to share photos with family )

Mine is something different than the ones I could see that are posted in the thread :-
Headspace App: got on a discount
Memrise App: for learning foreign languages
Amazon Prime
Netflix
Gaana

motorpsycho · 11th January 2018, 19:53

Kaspersky Internet Security
Amazon Glacier for Photo Backup - .005/GB, I use this to archive and backup Photos.

Planning to go for Amazon Prime, I do not have much volume of orders, hence still not subscribed.

lordvader · 11th January 2018, 21:18

Sorry OT but I'm surprised to see the down votes for Netflix.

It has an ever expanding collection of TV series and movies, prime/hotstar don't even come close. Regional movies/ TV series are under served, I'd agree.

- Netflix - 1 screen plan
- Amazon prime - delivery + stick
- Gaana (3 month subscription)
- Apple music (finishing off the 3 month trial)
- Tunnel Bear VPN
- dlife.in
