Need VPN and Password Manager that meet certain criteria. Help!

Due-Lengthiness-8512 · March 11, 2025, 5:50pm

Hello there!

I’m looking for these two services, and during research I found out that NordVPN also offers a password manager service. Also, Dashlane offers VPN with certain subscriptions, so I don’t know what services are the best and if there are other better options.

My situation is special because the VPN of choice has to be able to work with services like Netflix, Disney+ and Globoplay, and therefore, I need it to have servers in Brazil (in cities like São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro).

Lastly, it would be great if such options were (relatively) affordable.

Thank you, in advance.

Not sure why you have the request for both a VPN and a password manager in the same post.

I don’t have a lot to say about VPN choice, though if you are running Netflix through it, beware that may violate their terms of service.

As far as a password manager, you should look at KeePassXC (locally hosted) or Bitwarden (cloud based). Both are good open sourced products; they just have different takes on solving the same problems.

Why do you need a VPN? This is required reading to keep you grounded about 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.*
