It depends what you want to use it for.  If it's just to download torrents etc, anyone will do.

Not particularly fussed about anything in particular.

Although one thing that springs to mind, is it can be annoying as I travel abroad a lot, quite a few UK sites can be restricted or have different content available like the BBC for instance.

There are obviously other benefits too, but as I say nothing really in particular,

I'm looking at Nordvpn as it's highly rated and seems simple as well.

NordVpn is one of the good ones.  There are also PureVpn, Private Internet Access, IP Vanish, ExpressVpn which are just as good for for accessing sites from different countries.  I use ExpressVpn to access Netflix in different countries on my P.C which seems to work well for me . I have also installed it on my router which was surprisingly easy to do and my kids can select from the normal wifi connection or the one that is using the VPN if they want to watch something that is not available here.

I went with Nord in the end. 30 day free trial, then for 3 years, it's just over £80. Ends up way cheaper than Express and they both get similar ratings.

On the few hours of testing everything seems fine. Speedy downloads of my games on steam, registering as being in a different country etc. On a UK test, showed me on National Rail app stations hundreds of miles away from my real location, as being my local stations.

App on Android working well as well.

Even if it ends up being not completely great, it's not cost too much to find out.

Cheers for all the suggestions.
