[Technology] What VPN would you recommend?

[Robinjakarta]

I use ExpressVPN, and have for the past 4 or 5 years.

It's always worked well for me, although that is from somewhere that isn't the UK.

Whether Nord or others are better value for money etc I'm not sure, but I'm happy to stick with this on a 'if it aint' broke don't fix it' basis.

Similar here mainly from Asia including China and also the UK. Not cheap, but wouldn't be without it. #28 above also refers.

Seems to me that the payment process is the weak link as Paypal payments for instance reveal e mail addresses

Mullvad imply that they don't.

Any Nordvpn user want to pm me a refer a friend link, I need a month to month and think their referral scheme might save a few pounds both sides? Cheers

Edit: referral received, thanks for pms

I've used AVG security for many years with built in VPN but can never get BBC.CO.UK overseas, always .COM
Someone told me Sky block iptv on their broadband, true?

On my laptop I use Tunnel Bear, seems to do the trick.
On my phone I use the cleverly named VPN.

I was using PrivateVPN up until a few months ago when it stopped working with BBC services.

Now I pay $5/month for a UK private VPN server with static IP through is*hosting. It's been fine for accessing UK content so far, but obviously it's just a single country and I'd have to pay extra to use a VPN server in another country.

Surf Shark for me. No issues over last couple of years

I’ve used NordVPN abroad and it’s worked well.

This. I got a deal using a code I heard on The Cycling Podcast.

I've used Express VPN for a few years now and generally have had no issues. Sometimes had to cycle through the UK locations to get iplayer to work. Recently, they've massively improved their Linux client and there's apps for your phone and amazon firestick.

Express VPN for me too, I wouldn't be without it.
I find it reliable when wanting to watch SkySports, TNT, BBC iPlayer and ITV when overseas.
I've used it frequently in Aus, NZ, India, Caribbean, Japan, Canada, Europe of the last few years.

It allows me to choose multiple countries to pretend that I'm in apart from the UK, therefore I can also watch my mates NBC log-in pretending I'm in USA to watch live Saturday afternoon games when they are not being televised on UK TV.

I chose Express VPN because it was recommended as being reliable and easy to use. It certainly ticks both of those boxes.
I think I pay about £56 a year.

Another vote for express vpn here - I occasionally have to use it to log in to us companies and it works very well

I signed a two term with Nord that’s up for renewal this summer and never had a problem

Brave. Browser and VPN. Blocks pesky adverts including YouTube ones. Browser with ad blocking and tracking limited is free, VPN is 10pcm or 100 a year
