Anyone use this at all? Been using it on fire stick for about 12 months now but buffering getting bad now,so does any body watch this using a vpn? If so looking for advice as to the best one to use as haven’t bothered with one before.Was great for sky sports and Bt sport plus all the sky movie channels.Worried about sh**e reviews online for practically all the well known vpn providers so just like to get opinions from any vpn users who might read this.Cheers.

Been using nordvpn for a few years, it's quite big now so will likely find a new one when my sub ends.
Do you use VPN for privacy or just to access content?

Just for streaming sky/bt sports and films on sky really,not a big user at all.Does nordvpn stop buffering on a tv? (if you use it for that).I would like to see if I can get a vpn that works properly,plenty of 30 day money back trials about,but might have to fork out for something like iptv if I can’t get round the blocking anymore. |

Ah, with you now I think. Redbox is a streaming service? Don't think a VPN will improve buffering as far as I know, VPN just changes your IP address and prevents your service provider from seeing what your are doing online. |

I paid for Express VPN and even though I have decent fibre broadband I still had buffering issues when accessing Netflix content.
I cancelled and got a refund.

Yeh it’s just a free streaming app.VPN’s all state they will help stop streaming buffering but looking online it seems most IP’s (and vpns) are now blocked if they are non residential.A few vpn providers have found a way around it but you have to dig deep cos the ones that are blocked obviously won’t state that.Nordvpn are actually one of the few that are getting around the problem though so might give it a months free trial and see what happens.Thanks for your help. |

Expressvpn are the market leaders and most expensive,but they are definitely blocked now by the big streaming company’s.Lucky you got a refund cos lots of people moan about their sh**e customer service. |
