I've had a lifetime VPN unlimited for years, used to be reliable but been.a bit iffy last couple of months. 

I pay for an Iptv service don't always need it but sometimes I do. Get 4K streams through it and they're definitely not shit, the ones from Singapore and the US (Peacock) are often flawless. When I lived in Oz it was often a better picture than the legal streaming provided. Most countries show all games legally and some are exclusively streamed. 

Fuck paying what Sky want, I get everything and can watch it wherever I am by two touches on my VPN.

I think it depends what you want.
If you just want a VPN to hid where and who you are probably a freebe will do it.
However, if you want to get round sophisticated geofencing to for example watch sky sport or the bbc from outside the UK, you probably need to pay for a good one. I've used ExpressVPN, a bit pricey, but got round everything. I've watched bbc in Spain and 3pm Saturday kickoffs in the UK on my Spanish DAZN account.

Well you do come across like that to be fair.

I don't miss a single thing by not having a VPN, they're just another thing for the modern day cսnt.

Thanks all!
Nah, not at all, I just have zero need for a VPN.

Sometimes I try to watch a video on BBC sport and it tells me it's not available in my location, so what, no biggie, am I meant to fire up a VPN just to watch it? Not sure why anyone would need a VPN in the UK, unless you're one of these needy tits who feels the need to have to everything available to them and can't miss anything, which I suppose is a lot of people in today's cunty world.

Another 👍 for Nord.
Had it for several years now.
They will try it on when time comes to renew your subscription. Quoted me about £130 to renew back in August, waited them out and got it for about £70 (for 2 years) in the end.

I opted for NordVPN when I was in the middle east and access to several sites (like this one) was blocked.

Never had a real issue with them for ages, although under UNIX setting up was a bit fiddly and their upgrades tended to get out of sync with O/S upgrades; however they now seem to have got that monkey off their back..

I've never had a need for a VPN. I don't watch streams as they're ALL shit, and if there is some TV show or the like that I can't watch I can live with that.

Little bit more pricey than some but I ditched my cloud storage with other places in favour of theirs and it cut the cost a bit.

Really pleased with the reliability of the actual VPN as compared to others I have had in the past.

Can still watch Bakeoff immediately in another country .😉

From my experience that helps with the stream drop outs/freezing. Not quite sure why that works, but it seems to work for me.
Wils, I've also heard that Nord VPN is very good.
