Hola worked for me in austria. Really easy to used, quite impressed tbh.

Will keep using it until i need more from it (if i ever do)

I use this to unblock most things.(smart dns)

Doesnt slow the traffic down and has an app to choose regions for things such as netflix

So glad I just saw this.

Stuck in Dubai and alot of stuff is blocked not any more....

Are any of the pay per month ones any better than the free ones?

I'm sure work have a VPN setup on the server but the it guy is on holiday :(

Hola is also available in Chrome, as i'm playing with it right now :)

I use a Firefox browser add-in called "Hola". You can set country preferences for different URLs, so when I go to SkyGo - it pops to UK, same with BBC - but Netflix etc stay US because their library is better.

The only thing this doesn't work for is the Sky Go Player, which I use to download episodes of catchup as my hotel WiFi sucks and isn't great for streaming. For that I use an actual VPN connection called FreeUKVPN:

Justfreevpn is alright for free, although doesn't work with torrents, etc.

So what does everyone use? I mainly need it when away with work all over Europe to watch films/tv more than the security side. There are tonnes to choose from but wanted some recommendations!

I prefereably need one that can be used on multiple platforms mainly iphone, iPad and MacBook.
