VPN Use

[infinityleague]

Surf Shark user for 5+ years now without any issues. Use DDG with surfshark for extra safety.

1) primarily for EYE PEE TV.
2) unlimited devices can be logged in with one account (was 10 devices before).
3) check their Black Friday deals. Comes as cheap as £1.50 or £2 per month without Black Friday deals.
4) uses RAM servers.
5) has their own search, antivirus, alternate ID option & an alert system that notifies if any of your info is leaked online.

Check it out of interested. Best money I spent on any service after my eye pee tv (another 5+ years with no issues).

Personally on the most popular plan. Not trying to sell anything but good deals for Black Friday if someone is interested.

Do not click the second result if you search for “surfshark” as it just redirects to Nord services.

I've used various VPN providers and always go for the ex-hacker smaller operations. They tend to run plenty of servers from plenty of different countries but because of their background they won't "roll over" if threatened by Governments - privacy is their motivation rathe than profit and if forced to start acting against their published policies they'll just close down rather then hand out information.

Plus they are often more "techy" and earlier supporting newer technologies eg there are relatively few VPN providers supporting IPv6 and many are the "hacktivist" type providers.

Proton vpn.
Free to use, works well too.

I often wonder about free VPNs... Why would it be free? I have heard good things about ProtonVPN though.

I have used TunnelBear free VPN, it's been sufficient.

It's like most things, only the basic services are free.
Limited choices of countries (if you want to watch country based content), limited devices per account.

Some antivirus suites come with an included VPN in the paid versions.

I use Bitdefender antivirus (£99 per year), which is one of those.

I use McAfee AV Total Protection (across multiple devices) and that comes with a VPN. Costs me about £19 a year for the entire suite.
The VPN only switches on when it detects you're on a public WiFi, so not useful for geofenced content.

Pixel phones have a free VPN service. It doesn't appear to allow a choice of international endpoints (,eg for accessing region-locked content) but i hope it improves security when using public WiFi services.
