VPNs

Hola works for me for watching BBC

Do not use Hola.

VPN is used in many scenarios, not just getting around geo-restrictions, hence people not knowing what you are trying to do.

For what you want to do, you're better off with a DNS redirect service. Have a look at UnoTelly or Unblock Us.

Personally I use UnoTelly and find it works very well.

What am I trying to achieve? Well I want to pretend I live in the US or UK for some on line programmes.... Hide.me also has a free version but very limited data limit and other limitations, so I would prefer to pay for something....

don't bother with a VPN

I'd recommend Unotelly

I use unblock us. watch catch-up ITV & Ch4 and download BBC progs. All is available - far better rubbish shown there, and a lack of commercials.
NZ free to air is the pits. Have Sky but mainly use it for sport.
