    I expect so, but my crystal ball doesn't predict more than four weeks ahead.

    I'd be careful doing work using a 3rd party VPN. You're giving them access to what should presumably be confidential information.

    Hi there, well I personally use ivacy VPN for streaming and regular work usage, so far its running good at my end.


    I didn't say it wouldn't work; I said it was a security vulnerability.


    You need to have absolute trust in your VPN provider. They know everything you're doing online.


    If you're using it for work, you need to be really careful that you're not exposing confidential data to third-parties without due diligence.


    I wonder how many VPNs are happily scooping up your data and selling it to advertisers, security services, etc....? Why wouldn't they...?

    I signed up for 3 years of windscribe for about £12.
    https://stacksocial.com/sales/windscribe-vpn-3-year-pro-subscription with 24% off with code BFSAVE40

    I'm not sure if its any good but for the price I though it was just about worth it for those odd annoying times you wish you could pretend to be in another country.

    I was able to view netflix usa using its dedicated netflix address. Not I think in very high quality, but with the amount of lifetime accounts they sell at £20 each I can't imagine there is going to be a surplus of bandwidth around.

    I was not able to view austrian tv.

    Canadian I believe. No idea if you can trust them.
  • I suspect the above is spam, given they are posting about a product sold in dollars on a British website.

    What is it about VPNs that brings out the spammers / scammers?
