  • There are always some setbacks attached to everything. In the case of VPN providers, there are several clients which have certain performance grounds while also have some downsides that may affect your usage. I am not saying that you should not buy VPN, but if you do, make sure it satisfies your specific needs on purpose.
  • I am using NordVPN one of the best Torrent VPN services at the moment. Have dumped all the previous ones I ever used. Nothing matches the service of NordVPN. Also, it is one of the fastest VPN services to choose from. Does not choke the speeds like others.

    I am following this thread as I wish to access uk tv from Spain on my ipad. Earlier in this thread Opera Browser was mentioned as it has an option to use their VPN.

    Any views on this? It seems to be the easiest way if it works.

    Thanks

    What I've learnt from reading this thread is that most of you are clueless yet speaking like experts. Very dangerous stuff. Do your own research and DO NOT rely on information inside this thread.

    Not going to speak on the Ipad / Opera issue as I don't know the answer.

    I used TouchVPN (got decent reviews after some googling) last week on an android tablet. Shows a full page ad before you get free access, but was good enough to stream BBC iPlayer / All4 / ITV hub on Polish hotel WiFi without dropping out.

    Worth checking to see if they are on the app store?

    This would be useful if it had some substance, but, in it's present form, it's meaningless....

    I had a try yesterday and was not able to install Opera on my ipad, I was able to install Opera mini and Opera Touch, neither have the VPN option.

    I was able to install Opera on my Sony android which does have the VPN option.

    Is TouchVPN free?

    Thanks,

    AirVPN are good and get good reviews. Has DNS leak protection and active network lock which means if you lose connection to their VPN, the network is locked down so NOTHING can access the net until the VPN connection comes back up.

    I am in Spain now and am using Touch Vpn. At first it was dropping, touch or hotel WiFi, not sure which.

    I have downloaded a few BBC iplayer progs, found it best to not use another phone on the WiFi at the same time.

    Thanks for all the comments.
