    Recommend a VPN

    Hi Guys
    Looking for some advice on VPN's thought it was time I got one.
    Don't want to set up the entire system via the router so happy to go with the device route only.
    Have a Samsung smart TV (F series)running the IPTV app, so clearly want it for good streaming.
    Any help/tips etc would be much appreciated.
    Thx
    Ps
    Have looked at pure vpn but it gets very mixed reviews from excellent to don't touch it with a barge pole

    I use the free Hotspot Shield as a bare bones VPN, you only get the USA version for free but it at least allows you to search on browsers without the results being censored or restricted by UK and European courts bans.

    I have just signed up with NordVPN, £55 for 1yr, it's fast enough to stream HD, and you can use torrents or kodi with it. You can have a 3 day free trial and see if you like it, that's what I did.

    Have had Nord VPN for a while now and am very pleased with it. I took out their 2 year offer and that only cost me about Euro 75, priced at USD 79.00.

    Unless you really want to fake your locale to watch foreign TV just go with an ISP that is not being paid by Sky to block content.

    have been messing around with some free vpn`s...best so far for me is turbo vpn
    no need to subscribe or give email..or any login..
    just download...works like a charm
    select country you want to be from
    when using my mygica box...apparently i am in germany..according to...whats my ip
    turn vpn off..go back to whats my ip...and its correct ip
    so based on that...works for me
    have used apps using it...streams great

    if anyone wants turbo vpn..this is how i installed it
    download from playstore onto the device you want to use it on...ie mygica 582
    now in your apps you will see turbo vpn..click icon
    when it has opened...go up tp top right of page to world icon...click that
    a list of countrys will appear...select one...germany for example
    a box will appear asking if you trust and want to connect...select yes
    it will now say you are connected...go to your browser...open google...it will say...google..germany
    type in whats my ip...select a test page of ip testers...your ip will be in germany...even says what city...and german isp provider
    now turn off vpn...go to google...whats my ip...and you will see its your correct public ip address and isp provider
    you can change countrys any time you want...
    i use this vpn..because its unlimited...no cut off after 1 hour..or couple hours..like alot of the free ones do
    i am now using this on 4 devices in same router
    hope this helps other members
