Which VPN?

[CTRiaan]

Opera free vpn - I know about this because our in house nerd send me a link - don't know how good etc etc .

It’s not a VPN, it’s a proxy.

It’s not a VPN, it’s a proxy.

But is it any good to hide IP address if I want to d/l series or movies ?

"A VPN routes your traffic through a secured and impenetrable tunnel. It encrypts your information to keep it out of unwanted hands.

Opera VPN provides minimal encryption but with no tunneling protocol. This is why I would put it somewhere between a VPN and a proxy."

Thank you for this info ...@CTRiaan
Unfortunately, Opera VPN does not support torrenting. It is not a conventional VPN and is limited to the Opera browser.

This means that it will not work on your BitTorrent and uTorrent client. Moreover, Opera does not encrypt your data, which means you will be exposed torrenting on it regardless.

I've been using ExpressVPN for ages and it's very reliable and works well. I've also heard good things about Nord VPN, but since I've never had issue with ExpressVPN I haven't tried it (but Nord is slightly cheaper I think).

The only vpn I've tried and have been happy with is vprvpn from golden frog.
It claims to be the only vpn that doesn't keep logs of your activity.
I pay 30 pounds a year for my subscription. Not sure if thats cheap or expensive but the service I get is worth it to be able to watch bbc programs and listen to my favorite UK based rock radio stations
