Decent VPN

Post by black_guardian »

Do forum users agree on a decent VPN service that works but doesn't cost the earth?

Happy to take any recommendations as the free services tend to be naff.

I have a VPN bundled with my Kaspersky subscription which I use whenever I'm on any public wifi. Works a treat.

Nord VPN is good.

Bought a six month package with Express VPN, think it was 70 dollars or so and so far, so good.

Was thinking about getting one myself but are there any good ones that work with Acestream.
Second question , does acestream (and others) still have Prem league and other UK sport?

Been using NordVPN for the past two years, effective and very easy to use. Can be had for a few pounds a month depending on length of contract...

I use Hola on Google Chrome and it is brilliant as its free and does the job.

I use it primarily to access sites that are geo blocked, just as if you wanted to say access the bbc iplayer from abroad.

I've been playing about with a VPN.

And I can only access this site using it now (set to a UK address).

You sure you aren't using a Very Pedantic Network by mistake?

VPN's

Mainly aimed at those who enjoy technology and expats, what is the best VPN to use whist living abroad?

I use TunnelBear which allows me to access Betfair and Premiership matches on Talksport :vom: but the BBC is clever enough to see through it and blocks their coverage and also Iplayer.

TunnelBear is free for the 1st 500mb so I cant really complain, but I'm interested in alternatives that one of the great minds on here can vouch for. . .
