    Hey all. I’m looking fir a decent VPN to use which isn’t expensive.

    Looked at SurfShark which I’ve been told is pretty good. Anyone got any other suggestions?

    I use Surfshark, its decent but I got a great black Friday deal which worked out less than a quid a month.

    Have a look at Nord VPN, supposed to be good as well.

    It also all depends on what you want it for. For instance some can fool Netflix, Prime etc in to thinking you're in the States so you can access their stuff whereas others don't ...

    My best advice is to do a search for best VPNs and read some write ups. They'll tell you what each one is good for etc and it should help you make your decision :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Good luck!

    I use Surfshark and its been spot on, I paid about £45 for a 2 year subscription.

    When it expires I will probably look at one that allows me to watch Netflix USA as it doesn't work with Surshark for me.

    I use SetupVPN on Chrome which is free. Never had any issues with it.

    In other news there is a flower delivery van parked outside my house with a HUGE aerial on the top of it. Been there for about 6 weeks now

    Turn your VPN on, go to safc.com and sign up with an address from the region your VPN is routing through. Pretty sure you can get fake American addresses online somewhere for instance. Pay for the stream and voila, should be good to go.

    I have to use a VPN over here as many websites are blocked and we cannot access Skype and FaceTime...I use Express VPN...haven't had any issues in about 5 years of using them

    I noticed Roger hasn't posted for a while, so pm'd him to see if all was OK, and to wish wish him Happy New Year....I haven't heard back.
    Hope everything is OK with him.

    Had some communication with Rog. He's moved back to the UK and all is well. No Internet until this week but he sends his love to one and all :emoticon-0105-wink:
