VPN in Mauritius by Qb2015
Does anybody use a VPN in Mauritius to connect to BBc Iplayer & ITV Player? If so,which one do you have? I have Mauritius Telecoms 20 Mbps service but recently am only getting 2Mbps when using my current VPN.
Hi there, If you are looking for a VPN just to watch movies and not necessarily for full cyber security, I would recommend using Opera browser instead of Chrome or any other browser. Opera has a free integrated VPN in it and so far has worked ... Read More

Khmer women and beards/mustaches by madmax888

You seem like a man who really loves his wife. I think it is very nice from your part to consider shaving your beard. My personal advice ( coming from a guy with a manly full beard I have been sporting for years ), DO NOT SHAVE, unless it is your ... Read More
