I like to watch american tv shows which are not here in england and now the site i always use is blocked and the only way around the block is to use a VPN. Its not piracy or copyright the site is like 4od but PBS instead and only available in america so i need a VPN.

    Unable to recommend a free VPN, however, have you tried the Epic browser, which allows you to watch US tv shows. Don't know if it works with all channels, but seems to be fine with PBS.

    I too haven't yet found a decent & free VPN, so I'll keep an eye on this thread with interest!

    In the meantime you might want to try Unblock-Us (Google it, I'm not allowed to post links!), which I use to watch the US and Canadian versions of Netflix. It is $4.99 CAD per month (about £3) but uber fast so I have no problems watching HD content.

    There is a free weeks trial which may help while you keep looking.

    I like it because of the speed and reliability, customer service is excellent and I can set it up at router level or on individual devices. Well worth £3 a month.

    Using the Firefox add on 'Media Hint' does it for me. Hulo etc are no problem and it's free.
