What VPN's do you all use?

[dxbtiger]

Need a VPN, preferably one that won't completely strangle Du's home broadband.

Thoughts?

Expat Shield connects you to the UK. Probably not the fastest but it is free.

[Gaffer]

I need a proxy but the ones I have found are bloody well blocked by Du.

This.

No problems with my du broadband in the marina. Dead easy to set up and use. Costs £5/month.

VPN express through the app store on apple.

Cheap, easy to use.

Lets you select specific cities. Set to London, you can view the F1 Live.

[dxbtiger]

Viscosity has been thrown in as well, let's you choose your IP.

Also Overplay.net.

I am leaning towards my private at the moment, have read that expatshield throws up loads of Adware

Just started using this on my new windows machine, andotmis certainly fast enough to watch MOTD,and I player, which is pretty much all I need it for. Great program.

[dxbtiger]

I went for Overplay in the end, works fine as well, happy to recommend.

Curious as to what you all use these VPNs for... I've lived out of the UK for nearly 5 years now and have never felt as though I need one.

Am I missing out on something good?

[Gaffer]

I use it for MotoGP and ummm...yea.

They are useful for access stuff that you cannot, being out of the UK, such as 4OD, I player, certain radio stations, and so on. I'll be using it to watch the F1 on iPlayer.

Ah OK, so basically just for TV and Radio stuff.
Not going to worry about getting one now then, I have Du TV here which gives me more than I ever have time to watch including the F1 in English and I'm not really a radio / pron person.

Disappointed now, thought I was missing out!!
