Good, cause I was a little foggy about it.

This question in QA: Virtual HID USB Dongle[^]
Was posted on 3rd May 2012, and has remained unanswered.
It would appear the OP has just edited it to return it to the top of the QA heap! 
And if it wasn't him, who the heck is tidying up four year old questions?

Nope. Someone posted a spam answer, which has since been deleted.

Virtual HID Dongle?! Ingenious!!!
I've created one just now. However, it's virtual so you can't access it.

Ah...but no one can steal it either!

I had been thinking about subscribing to a paid VPN service, since NetFlix blocks me viewing a lot of their content when I come in through a proxy, like the free Hola; so, after some research thought I'd try NordVpn.
I went to their site and initiated a chat to discuss whether their service worked with NetFlix, and was impressed by how knowledgeable the support rep was; he quickly fielded my questions about my Firewall and AV software in-browser and out-browser. Gave me a list of US servers he said worked with NetFlix.
He offered me a free three-day trial (no credit-card info required. Downloading and installing their server-selector/manager software for Windows was a piece of cake. My initial attempt to select on of the servers on the can-fly-with NetFlix list somehow resulted in my connecting to the wrong server, so could not view content I wanted to see. Went back Nord's site, started another chat session, and got the same rep; who diagnosed the problem as my not setting the default server correctly. One browser shut-down, one cache-cleaning, and one server selection later: voila, I'm watching a NetFlix movie I wanted to see, but could not view before.
I must say I was impressed by the whole experience; this type of install-that-requires-configuration, and remote diagnosis of internet connections can be complex, frustrating.
Yep, I'm going to become a paying customer, and, no, Nord did not in any way encourage me to write this, or offer me any inducement to write this  Whether this VPN, or any other, is right for you I don't have a clue.
It's just nice to talk about software that "just works" once in a while !
Now ... DropBox ... MSDN's documentation ... data-binding in Winforms ... .NET's implementation of BitVector32 ... don't get me started.
cheers, Bill

I assume you missed Opera's recent announcement[^]?

Hi Richard,
I did see that announcement; I even downloaded their new dev version, but I didn't try their VPN.
I would assume, since their VPN facility is new, that they don't have anything near the infrastructure that a company with hordes of users, like Nord, does; however, that could be just another of my erroneous assumptions.
But, for me, I wouldn't want the VPN to be tied to a specific browser, and, while I enjoyed playing around with Opera, I am too at home in Goog-Chrome to just change horses ... for now.
cheers, Bill

It was US$3.99/month, when I saw it earlier today.

Thanks, Mark, they have a promo now of US $36 for a year, and that's what I intend to purchase when my three day trial is up.

Decent customer service is worth more than a few quid a month.

DropBox?? Just curious... what's wrong with DropBox?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is
