Of course it's probably not legal, just as many of the streaming sites are not, and are presumably subject to being caught up with and shut down even if only temporary and just as unpredictable as others.
It sounds good, but if I took that, I'd still need internet and phone and the total cost would not be an improvement.

Yes, Exodus on Kodi works great. I recently bought this box for $60 and had it up and running in minutes.

Anyone using a VPN router setup that still works reliably for the BBC? HMA don't seem to have the instructions for my VPN router to work with DD-WRT firmware anymore?

PureVPN has worked for me over the last few years.

Overplay seems ok for us after moving away from Unblockus

No, that's what made us switch to Overplay, not only was it not working for Netflix ( it worked for BBC etc ) but was actually stopping us using Netflix Canada if it was on.
After much to and fro I switched and now don't bother switching Netflix at all, I just use the blocker for BBC etc on all devices

Re: Any VPNs still work for BBC/ITV?
They (unblockus) cannot get Netflix working on the AppleTV. This is their reply to my support case last year.
Thanks for contacting us today
Unfortunately we do not have solution for Apple TV at the moment because the Netflix app is currently connecting without DNS lookup and bypasses DNS overrides.
In the meantime, we suggest accessing Netflix using a computer (PC or Mac) in order to stream contents from other regions.
Now I only use them for BBC iPlayer.
