VPNs

Post by A_morti »

I've seen where you can get YouTube premium for 129 INR (£1.32) a month instead of £11.99, if you can convince YouTube you're in India.
I want YouTube without ads, and as I just got some AirPods, I also want YouTube music. So, seems like it's finally worth me getting a VPN.

All I can find on Google is affiliate marketers touting whichever VPN gives the best kick-back. I don't trust that kind of advertising.
So, which VPN do I actually want? Is it even something that's generally worth the average guy having, or should I do my sneaky trick then cancel the free trial?

Needs to be one which won't stand in the way of my VPN for WFH, and/or can be easily disabled.

Thanks, chaps.

I can't help with the specifics but I use ExpressVPN. It's a paid for service, $99 per year IIRC so they're less likely to sell your details etc. It's a bit odd at times, mostly with google et al questioning my IP address and the number of requests from it. That's fairly easily got round by changing the server used.

They probably do a free trial offer and they haven't stiffed me yet.

I use a free ad blocker (Adblock Plus) on the PC. It works very well on all sites.
