    Does anybody have any experience with this VPN? How is the speed?
    I have used FilmOn for a while but the app is kludgey and since the Aereo Supreme Court decision most of their channels have disappeared. I need to get something so I can watch Newsnight, QT, Come Dine with Me & Grand Design.

    Any opinions or suggestions?

    Oh, heres the link, https://www.tunnelbear.com

    Looks interesting. I've never really had a need for something like that, but I'm sure it works. Thing is, you aren't really keeping things private, since your activities will be logged by tunnel bear's servers. Do you trust them?

    That's a question, isn't it? Although at this point, I assume that every move made on the net is being monitored by some governmental entity or other. Still, you might be able to use it in conjunction with an IP mask. It really depends on where their servers are located.
