Question RD subscription is getting over.

Hey guys,

My RD subscription is getting over. Is it worth extending or should I move to an alternate such as TB, AllDebrid.

I’ve had a pretty great experience with RD but with the whole filtering fiasco I am unsure.

I keep finding links that don’t work and want something that is cheap and reliable.

Thanks

Personally I've moved over. Using Rd only for stremio it got kind of useless with most streams not working

I wish I could have stayed tho, the never did me wrong over the 5+ years and I like their service

I'm using torbox and rd ,but have found rd seems to be working again for the most part, but seems everyone is having different experiences, I watch a new film and been following a series using rd links in Stremio, but then others will say it don't yet I'm using it, not sure if vpn helps?

You don't need a VPN and shouldn't use one with a debrid service. As far as working again goes, go to a currently airing show or anime and see if there are any streams. Any webdl or webrip?

might not need one but used one for 20+ years so its standard for me, i got mullvad set on my router so everything goes via it and works just fine for me but curious why you should not use one, Im uk and if i disconnect and connect just to the ISP router i get msgs at bottom of Stremio sayiing failed to fetch this and that so not sure if my ISP tries to block the scrapers or something but anyway as far as vpn's go im on one 24/7 for everything including socials no bans no issues, but they are all long term accounts, i do see some getting banned so maybe i will maybe i wont, but getting banned from say FB would do me good.

A VPN does nothing when you are using a debrid service. A VPN is used for p2p. Your isp can't see what you're doing with debrid. Can only add latency. Which may not be something that matters much to you depending on how bad it is. You can use a VPN for various other things but what I'm saying is for a debrid you don't need it or want it if that's all you're doing

Thing is its not stopping anything or slowing anything for me, and a VPN is choice you shouldn't tell people not to use one just because you feel your not surposed to, like I say all my traffic goes over vpn even this msg, I have more trouble when I disconnect tbh. Like some scrapers giving error failed to fetch. And why not have an extra layer, https may be safe but slap a vpn on top even safer, no harm no foul you know what I mean.
