What I'm essentially trying to do is, set myself up for safe travel. I'm planning to go to Mexico, and I want to securely be able to trade and do banking. I'm a UK citizen - hence why I assumed UK VPN based may be better option, but open to any other ideas that will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I'm not sure what the best is, but this is something to be wary of: Why VPN Services Based in 5 Eyes, 9 Eyes and 14 Eyes are a Threat to Your Privacy https://www.bestvpnguru.com/5-eyes-9-eyes-14-eyes/ It's not just conspiracy theorist fear mongering either as mainstream VPN review sites often warn people about VPNs located in Five Eye nations.

No probs with them so far, and they seem to update their software regulary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi3141 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Yeah ok, so I spent some time reading up on this - one extreme group blame another extreme group for something we don't know who started and a company got caught being duped over a fake tweet and nobody really knows wtf is going on but Surfshark are being blamed for being deceived I don't think its worth cancelling my subscription. Politics has got crazy with Political correctness and falling for some fake info does not make them a bad company. This is getting ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I don’t know much about VPN’s, my mate suggested nord vpn to me. I can put my ‘location’ into any country around the world, and get the Internet accordingly. For example some videos on Zionism is banned on bitchute, so I have to change my country from UK to maybe America, and then I can watch the video. Works on my laptop and phone. I dont know much about this sort of stuff though, and how useful/ protective it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaleP Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Why would anybody want to sign-up with UK or 5-eye based VPN??? It does not make sense. Off-shore companies don't keep record. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See "Best VPNs outside Five Eyes" https://restoreprivacy.com/5-eyes-9-eyes-14-eyes/ Lol, it lists Surfshark as one of the best VPN's for privacy as its Virgin Islands. Why didn't you just tell me I already have a good one? Anyway, thanks for the read. @bamboozooka looks like we lucked out with VPN choice, I didn't realise it was offshore, I just knew it was Linux friendly, turns out its both! I'll be sticking with them. Edited September 27, 2021 by pi3141 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleP Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Bad news guys! Just noticed that Surfshark has moved their office to Netherland, no longer in Carribean since October 1st. Time to switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppelin Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I would stay away from any large VPNs like Surfshark, NordVPN etc.. they will sell you out when push comes to shove. You should use a 4G residential proxy on top of a trusted VPN. 4G proxies can vary between $20 - $50 per month so not cheap but they offer good protection when combined with a VPN.
