    A friend of mine set up vpns for buddies in china running from his Cisco routers. Works great but I picture him disappearing in the middle of the night..

    I'm going to be living six months of the year in europe, but want to be able to watch USA TV via streaming. Can't do it without using a VPN to make the streaming websites think I'm in the USA in my understanding...can you all recommend a VPN approach for doing that?

    Thanks.

    Or you could just use the Opera browser - which allowed me to have the stream of the recent Spa 24 Hour race broadcast think I was in Holland when I was sitting comfortably on the East coast of the United States.

    Interesting, thanks. However, I think it would be more fun to watch it while in Holland... at a bruin café... having a bier. :)

    PIA is recommended and I’ve also heard some good feedback about nord

    Is this built in to Opera now? I don't think I have used it in 10+ years. I did like it though.

    Just to add another data point for those who may stumble in here later - I use the OpenVPN package on a Netgear router at home and download the client to iPads, tablets and smartphones. I then use the OpenVPN client to connect back home whenever I'm on a public WiFi and by public I mean any network not under my control. I also run a PiHole ad-blocker on my home network and my VPN traffic goes through the PiHole so I get no advertising on my phones and tablets.
    Obviously this VPN scenario does not include concealing my location, defeating geoblocking, etc. but it does give me a lot of peace of mind.
