We don't discuss copyright circumvention on PPRuNe.

Also, if you had the slightest idea about how VPNs work, you would soon comprehend why any VPN is rubbish for what you wish to achieve. VPN technology was designed to support the needs to employees working away from base .... not for people like you wishing to stream stuff you shouldn't be.

There's a VPN built into my home Draytek modem/router. It works flawlessly, including accessing from outside the UK. Streaming video through it would probably be a bit clunky because our uplink speed in rural Suffolk isn't that fast, but I don't need that anyway.

Highly recommended.

Most of my business is in mainland China, internet access using my various clients' wi-fi networks.
When the Great Firewall of China either runs intolerably slowly or sometimes completely blocks my connection, I use a VPN that supports many different servers worldwide, and also different protocols.

Web-based email services pick this up immediately, and send verification checks.
