[Technology] What VPN would you recommend?

[ofco8]

Have decided I need a VPN but know little about which suppliers are best.

Who do you use and why?

 

[Superphil]

Opera browser has one built in

 

[Is it PotG?]

Depends on your volume.

Free or paying?

 

[East Staffs Gull]

Really depends on what you intend using it for. Heard good stories about using NordVPN to access UK content overseas.

 

[trueblue]

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

 

[Birdie Boy]

I'm abroad and permanently use surfshark on my phone and firestick. If you pay for it, you get decent speed. Occasionally I stop and restart it on my phone but rarely on my firestick. I paid for 2 years, very good value.

IPVanish very good especially if you have multiple devices as works on IOS, Windows and Android

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Had Nord for a few years now

You can buy via Quidco for a decent cash back as well

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Surfshark - very good.

Previously had Nord which was also okay.

 

[chickens]

NordVPN if it’s all about accessing region protected content from elsewhere.

Mullvad is a lot cheaper if you just want to ensure the world’s intelligence agencies have to do a bit more work than is cost-effective to harvest your private communications and browsing habits.

 

[Doonhamer7]

I use NordVPN

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Nord VPN for me too

 

[PTC Gull]

Another shout for NordVPN as well. There are some good deals out there that gets you a low monthly fee and extra months. Info here. https://nordvpn.com/coupon/nord-site/. Also they merged with Surfshark earlier in the year.

Another Nord user here. A must at this time of the year for Strictly!!

VPN for getting around geo-blocks, I use Nord. The 'onion over VPN' feature is a must for anyone looking to use Tor in my opinion.

Do you VPN users have a specific country that you select when using your VPN and connecting to a server? Does it really make a difference? I'm interested in getting a VPN but want a reliable connection when doing so. Cheers.

A paid for service you definetely can. Some free ones too but they may have limited options.

Thanks for replying. My question is what country do you select from your list of options when using your VPN, as I believe some countries won't allow access to certain copyrighted material. Is selecting Indian better than Australia or maybe just default to USA?
