Is this the problem with every service provider in the market such as Express, Ivacy VPN, Nord etc?

They are banning VPNs and cryptos when the entire world is adopting them. This is just hilarious, just curious what was the main motive behind this?

Re: So, recommendations?

Well, I think that you might want to revisit what your needs are before opting for one. For instance, (quoting my personal experience) I use Ivacy when it comes to my privacy and security. Its apps are ioXt certified and work flawlessly for streaming. I bought six months back when I came across TechRadar endorsing it for streaming functionality.

BBC to demand logins for iPlayer in early 2017

What exactly, does the word, "login" means?

I don't get it. Will they be demanding cable logins like those with most American channels where you can stream their TV online but not without the cable provider's logins? Or is it their own user ID and password? Like a BBC account or something? If it's the former, does that mean you won't be able to login if you don't have a cable or if you're outside UK?

Yeah, i read that news a few days ago dude. but I'm not sure. Opera marketed theirs as a vpn but there are arguments it may not be so. i hope it's not like proxy where you do get a new ip but the connection isn't 256 bit encrypted like other vpns like ivacy, express and nord etc.
