SSL just means it's encrypted. The VPN could still come with a connection (ie: limits your to 1Mbit etc) or bandwidth limits. So you'd need to read exactly what the VPN is offering and any restriction (having a quick look i can't see anything on the HideMyAss site). | |

Astraweb offers two and Plusnet can see them both 443 and 563. | |

I'd be trying the other SSL ports your Usenet provider offers before using a VPN, as you're likely to get slower speeds using Usenet over a VPN connection. That and most VPN services come with limited bandwidth. | |

Sorry to gate crash, but would using a VPN like the one you have chosen, would it avoid traffic shaping for Usenet as even using SSL ports they can see it. | |

Decided to sign up with SecurityKISS in the end. Seems pretty good for my requirements, and reasonably priced too. | |

I use HideMyAss. Seemed to come out on top when I looked into it a while back. | |

I've used HideIPVPN in the past but they only have 4 or 5 IPs. Will check out those two you mentioned, Dom, cheers. | |

HideMyAss and VPNUK are worth looking at, never personally used either though. A cheap UK LEB running OpenVPN would be another option although you obviously wouldn't have the server/IP selection. | |

Can anyone recommend any good UK VPNs, preferably with a large selection of servers/IPs to connect to? |
