Whether you can get a free VPN that will actually allow to to watch any useful programs is another matter!

If you are trying to get round the Geolocation problems with things like BBC iPlayer, you would be better of using a Smart DNS rather than a VPN. Try smartydns.com - they also include a VPN

I saw a recommendation for ExpressVPN. High bandwidth, with a small charge. They offer a money back guarantee if not satisfied with the service.

Hola is a free vpn that worked for me with BBC iPlayer but I only used for that one catch up service. I stopped using it altogether when iPlayer kept asking for a TV licence number.

BBC iPlayer only asks if you have got a TV licence - it does not ask for the number. It’s about as ineffective as asking if you are over 18.

You can get a free trial of smartdns and unlocator to see which one works best for you before paying for the service. See https://www.smartdnsproxy.com/?gclid...oaAjDLEALw_wcB

I've read that article and it seems a little bit bogus as it's trying to persuade users to download and install "tor" which in itself is suspect as you have to also their browser.

Try Hoxx . I use it and it works fine here in Phils.

I downloaded Turbo VPN. The interface is lets say "a little crap" but its completely free with no limits and no signing- up. You sort of have to guess what you are selecting when picking which country server as it doesnt highlight it - as I don't think it's designed for the stick but it does work and we can watch UK tv by selecting UK servers with a little trial and error. I also downloaded free Live tv player from Amazon which works for your 1 to 5 channels. So in conjunction with the channels catch-up apps we can watch some UK tv live or just after.

Try Tvcatchup app very good for majority of Freeview live UK TV and no VPN required.

Re: vpn
 
Tvcatchup is no longer free.
