  1. I am contemplating starting to use NordVPN. I understand that you can set your country anywhere, including to be in the UK. Does anybody here use a VPN, and if so, is it OK with using this site?
     
  2. I have been using VPN's for decades. Currently using Nord and there's no issues on here, or there or anywhere.

  3. Kaspersky VPN
    Proton VPN
     
  4. Enjoy the privacy while it lasts as I suspect VPNs are yet another thing which this appalling government intends to ban.
     
  5. +1 for Proton. Andy
     
  6. Source plz?
     
  7. Since the requirement to provide evidence of age to access a number of sites that are or should be restricted to children (pornography springs to mind), there has been speculation in the press and on social media that restrictions on using VPNs will follow. The current Labour government has denied this. Andy
     
  8. How sad am I or just very cynical… if one of the current crop of politicians deny it then it must be true!

  10. Pattern recognition.
     
  11. No big reason. I am interested to see if I can get stuff on Netflix not available in the UK and the same with Amazon Prime. I won't do it in time for Spain trip one, but will see if my banking apps still work properly when they know I am in Spain.

    Also, I don't particularly like my ISP's ability to snoop on me. I would prefer them not to be able to intrude. Also, when I am abroad, I can set my location back to the uk and that may be useful.
