Looking for VPN advice

GarlandGal · ‎07-27-2010

I've been watching TV shows on ustvgo.tv for a few weeks, mostly for the History Channel. I'm now getting this message: This channel requires VPN to watch!

If you have experience with a VPN, any recommendations?

TIA!

I went to that site. You must be trying to access a station/channel that you normally have no access to - paid premium channel.

That pop up you got is an ad for a paid VPN service. Hope you did not click on it. There are free ones out there........

Windscribe

Avira Securitiy

Touch VPN

VPN+

You must research the above as well as what VPNs actually do.

If you want to pay for one, I strongly urge you to do your OWN research to find the one(s) that is best for your needs. VPNs are not a 1 fit all type of software.

Also, check out the VPNs that offer LIFETIME subscriptoins for under $50.

Thanks, @Mz iMac. I've been watching the History Channel for weeks, and just got the VPN message for the first time yesterday. I checked some other channels offered, and most allow normal viewing. The USA channel has the same VPN message. Go figure.

From what little research I've done, a VPN seems like a good idea, but I really had no idea where to start. I'll definitely check out the VPNs you listed.

I use Private Internet Access. They're a paid service, but it's not terribly expensive. I haven't had any issues using them. They have apps for my Chromebook, Fire Tablet, Android phone, and even my Fire TV.
