Very reliable is Tunnelbear. You can try it for free for I think 7 days to see if it's for you. I use this on ipad air and Samsung tab s with good effect re netflix and iplayer etc. I have an old desktop computer with windows 7 and it works fine on that also.You can have a free version but it is limited to 500 mbs a month. The monthly unlimited version is $4.99 about 3 Euro odd per month. Like everything there are good and not so good reviews of everything on the internet. Here is a review which gives you details of how it works and the encryption they use. Tunnelbear also have a sense of humour which appeals.For the monthly fee you can use it on up to 3 devices for that single fee of $4.99.

I have tried a lot of others and imho tunnlebear was the easiest and best for me.

I also have the free version of holo on my devices which is a good backup.

Just as a side issue if you want the latest films and TV series for free get the SHOW BOX app tonight downloaded the latest Hobbit Movie. Works on Ipad and Android and windows PCs. GET IT NOW

I'm confused.  I just use Hola (Chrome extension) for catchup TV and Filmon Hdi player for live streaming.

No ads, no fees.
All pretty simple if you have a PC connected to the TV and don't need to watch on "devices".

What about me, I’ve always recommend to choose paid vpns only, First of all, they provide the higher level of security and performance. Secondly, subscribing for paid service you will be free from importunate ads. As for a definite vpn service, you should define the aim for using it. If you want to bypass some geo-restrictions, you should use this one, but if your aim is to be protected from being hacked, you should use another one. Of course, the choice depends on you, but I recommend turning on the number of servers and their locations, the connection speed, the type of encryption, the users’ feedback. As for me, I’ve use purevpn for a long time and haven’t faced any problems (https://www.bestvpnrating.com/service/purevpn). Actually I use it to watch Netflix and it really workes. Besides, the speed is great and impressive.

Hi Bigyin
I have been using tunnelbear for three years now.
I got an email from them in December saying that my renewal of $49.99 will automatically be taken on 21st January.
They are currently advertising on their own website for a year subscription of $39.99.
I have sent three emails to them asking why the difference and not to take more than $39.99. So far no replies!
Anyone else using PureVPN and do you get big speed drops with them. Also can it be used on more than one device?

I've used tunelbear's free package for about a month and been pretty satisfied with it. It offers many great possibilities. I really like that it still provides access to Netflix. But I've found it here https://www.bestvpnrating.com/service/tunnelbear. Anyway, with this service I feel safe and secure.

I tried Hola in the early days but soon ditched it.  I still say Tunnelbear is worth the small cost (less than a TV licence

I tried a VPN from America but after many adjustments made by me with aid from Nordvpn it only partially worked, it wouldn't allow me access to BBCIplayer although the other Iplayers worked. I tried linking in to a UK server but that slowed everything down to such an extent that the programme was unwatchable!  Now my 'old British' one seems to be working but it often slips out before the end of the programme & so I have to keep re-connecting it!  Any ideas?
