vpn
 

I'm in the Northeast US trying watch another countries (FR) streaming site. Any good Experiences with VPN services (free or paid)?

ExpressVPN
 

ExpressVPN is very good with lots of servers worldwide and awesome speeds.

But you are going to find, or at least I did, that many streaming providers know the IP addresses associated with the various VPN services and block them.

Advertising the ability to stream from location locked services is, at best, misleading.

hmm thanks good to know

i use NordVPN. it's not free, but it's also not super expensive. as was pointed out above, some sites (and i can't name them off of the top of my head) can detect if you are using VPN and will block location-based content, but for the most part i have found it useful and successful. it's worth it from a privacy point-of-view also.

the speeds are pretty good. occasionally i will switch hosts if things start to drag, but i find i don't have to do that very much.

Nord also has servers specifically for peer-to-peer, if you're living on the wild side.

(EDIT: i have nothing to do with Nord, i am just a customer that is reasonably pleased with the service)
