Been happy with PIA (private internet access) for a good while now.Excellent techies if required and the IP can be changed around the world at the clik of the mouse.They never keep logs either. Multiple gateways and up to five devices can be used simultaneously.I currently pay £35 dollars a year.

I have just installed a Liberty Shield VPN and it works very well thus far.
It's £29.99 for a small box that plugs directly into your router. Then £6.99 a month or a £75 one off payment annually.
You then set up the software (on your PC) to choose your IP location of choice (the UK / London location they have also by passes ISP geo blocks).
The nice things about it is that it effectively creates another Internet channel so you can choose which devices you sign in and use with it.
They also have superb technical support (24/7 phone support) should you need it.
So far so good.

Just out of curiosity but, why do you need one? In Canada your service provider is not obligated to (and won't) reveal your identity to anyone.
I get emails that are forwarded on from my provider that they have received from Fox, AMC etc..
They have to let you know that you have accessed copyrighted material but they also let you know that they don't care and nothing can legally come of it.

One good reason for a VPN is to get around the ISP streaming blocks when watching football / Premier League games here in the UK.
The cost here is horrific (circa £70 a month and upwards) with SKY TV so a simple VPN can be a neat solution.
There is also the privacy issues. If you want to search and go on websites for basket weaving etc then that is your business and nobody else's.

Good reasons. I put Browsec (free vpn) on my laptop so I can see the videos on BBC football page and they still say "unavailable in your area".
I guess it doesn't work.

I use a separate VPN on the router then I can simply decide which devices go through it.
The Amazon Firestick & Roku box for streaming football & sport go through it as does
my lap top. But not my wife's or sons machines and non of our phones.
It just gives me the flexibility and privacy that I like.
I believe that your browsing data should be totally private for a variety of reasons and not sold on
for profit or used for other reasons. Eventually a lot of organisations will have full and complete access
to your browsing & on-line usage data. As will the government and they will implement a 'reward / punishment'
system for its citizens similar to what has already happened in China with 'Social Point's system (below).

At that point the Internet will have gone full circle and will be the ultimate 'Big Brother'.
It's not far off it now but I want to resist to the death! ;-)
