Started a free-trial for a VPN so I could find some episodes of a show I was bingeing that were not available on my usual streaming sites. Just got “Thank you for your payment!” notification but apparently missed the “Cancel the Free Trial!” alarm I set myself. Found the episodes long ago and other than watching them a million more times, what else is this VPN good for? Any weird parts of the internet worth lurking in (ideally nothing cruel, gruesome, or causing harm, of course)?
Apparently I have it for two more years… TIA!
What vpn did you go with… this way we can have a better idea of what your options are…?
Don’t forget, a VPN isn’t a magic key to the internet. At its core, its simply a secure connection between your computer and a network host somewhere. In a business, the primary benefit of a VPN is being able to “connect” to a company network from anywhere. On a personal level, its primary benefit is privacy and security.
Anything else you use it for like “appearing” to be in another country to access typically unavailable content, or accessing lower prices are peripheral benefits.
With a UK IP you can watch Channel4.com
If you have a realiable VPN provider, you could use it to download torrent, stream foreign server…
streamwithvpn.com has a pretty big catalog of movies and tv shows to explore. A part from that many youtube channels show live events for certain locations but I’m not sure how to find them.
Can you get to the BBCplayer?
There is also itv.com but they are very strict blocking VPN IPs, it doesn´t work for me.
that’s what I initially got the VPN for, haha. i needed some Doctor Who i couldn’t find anywhere else!
