    For me, a vpn is very useful as it allows me access to the BBC iPlayer when I'm working overseas. (I do have a UK TV licence).

    I use Bitdefender anti virus (buy through Quidco or a similar site for cash back) and pay extra for their VPN. It does appear to be effective giving the user a choice of what countries they wish their PC to appear to be in. There is an option to allow the software to choose a country automatically. With VPN running you are prevented from watching BBC iPlayer, as iPlayer thinks you are in a foreign country!

    That's the case with some VPN's but certainly not all. I use Nord and this normally allows me to access the iPlayer website although I do occasionally have to switch servers when an IP address gets blocked.

    I was using IPVanish but recently my VPN subscription will expire on this weekend.
    I am not pretty much satisfied with this service and thinking to switch my VPN service. Mostly i want to stream netflix through my VPN.
    Which VPN you guys suggest?
    I need an affordable and fast VPN service.
    I was reading this guide of surfshark VPN review and thinking to go with this service.
    Is surfshark a good VPN service?
    need help
