Anyone use or recommend any VPN services? Allow you to watch certain content, play on sites like Draft Kings etc.?

Not sure betting sites will work but any VPN app will work for ESPN streaming app or YoutubeTV app.

For betting I would just send a buddy some $ and whatever bets you want

My betting apps wouldn’t work with a VPN in Paris or London. Maybe there’s a way but I couldn’t figure it out.

I use Opera in Spain and have zero problems with it.

Thanks all. Bought NordVP and trying it out. Seems to work ok, but at least here you see a dip in performance so far. Like around 85 bps vs. 302 without. Apparently, the closer you are to an available server, the faster. Seems true.

Main goal was to watch UF game on YouTube TV if possible.

If I can do Draft Kings, great, but have been reading might be issues with service agreement using a VPN, so there's that.

So, first blush, not sure why I'd use it here. Will try that over there and see.

Proton VPN has been great. Using it now.

I haven't been using a VPN for a while now, but I've had good experiences with a different kind of service for accessing content and playing on sites like Draft Kings. Instead of a VPN, I use a residential proxy from proxys.io. I prefer this mainly because of the reliability and consistency in connection speeds, which are crucial for streaming and gaming.

Residential proxies, especially the one I use from proxys.io , provide a stable and secure connection, similar to VPNs, but with fewer interruptions and better speed. This has made a big difference in accessing geo-restricted content and ensuring a smooth gaming experience. Plus, it's affordable at only $1.4.

Just got back from our trip which included the Netherlands, France and Germany. VPN worked well. Picked "Atlanta" as my location. Initially got my YouTube TV, then it later said I was out of the country and to verify my location. Since it was my son's account, didn't want to F with it anymore. So I'm still learning personally and might not be much more help.

Try Proton

I used it watching Hulu. Caught it a couple times but I made sure to force stop, clear any data, and connect to vpn before reopening. Worked well.
