And why
Oh, and which one?
Ta
For work.
Recently when overseas for TV. One of the free week trials. In fact two of them.
Also for work. No idea what it is. Works well though - fast.
Overseas for TV
On any public wifi
NordVPN
PIA, works perfectly including port forwarding if that matters to you
Yes for work and also visiting sites not accessible from the UK usually.
I use the built in VPN on Opera.
Nord VPN when I was in China.
Why?

Could any of you guys hook me up with some steroids? For uh....recreational steroid use?
I use the opera VPN whilst on open WiFi. Quite good in that you don't have to be using the opera browser to be protected just use the app. Therefore your covered for email, Facebook etc...
Yes when overseas to watch UK TV. I use the Browsec plugin for Chrome.
Yes, I use PIA. I don't like my ISP logging how much time I spend on STW.
I kind of use a VPN , tunnel all my traffic over SSH to a VPS
Fairly easy to setup and free if you already have a VPS
for getting access to thepiratebay even once in a blue moon.
VPS and SSH tunnel here too.
Means the dodgy service located in the jurisdiction of choice is mine, rather than public.
My parents use something called tunnelbear, costs about $50 a year. Mainly because my dad's a bit of a tinfoil hat wearer.
Work
Watching tv when overseas
Mine didn’t work for buying lottery tickets but others here have access
Other firends used it to access Skype which is otherwsie blocked in the Middle East (i assume to boost phone company revenue)
Strong (about £25 a year)
Mainly because my dad's a bit of a tinfoil hat wearer
Got to hide from the kids, always after something 🙂
Yes for work. And for streaming TV when abroad.
Ghost VPN for almost everything. Strangely, Now TV doesn't like it, but almost everything else is fine.
Work have their own private thing, but that's only used on the work laptop.
CyberGhost (plus I think Lookout now automatically does a VPN too).
For mobile and desktop.
I don't do anything I need to worry about online but I don't like the idea of my ISP's storing everything I do indefinitely.
My Asus router with Merlin firmware supports open VPN. Free app for android means secure public WiFi.
Don't have one.
Thong or nothing for me.
Can you use a VPN to access bbc iPlayer when travelling abroad? Also I don't think Netflix will work?
I get the use of a vpn to a point especially on open wifi networks or overseas to use geographically controlled serivices. For general use though surely whereever you breakout onto the internet becomes the isp and at that point can log all of your internet usuage, and are they any more competent or better regulated that BT, Virgin etc..
Please enlighten me as i feel like im missing something. 99% of my internet use is ssl/tls encrypted id guess anyway, so the main thing to worry about is isp logging addresses isnt it.
