Looks like a good service. I especially like the Netflix option. It's a bit pricey on the monthly option at $10 US.
I used to have a VPN so I could access US Netflix content from here on Canada but Netflix cracked down on that so I got rid of the VPN I had. It was only $5 a month and I can't remember what it was called.

Anyone have a cheaper option?

I use NordVPN. I think I pay around $3 a month. You can pick what country you want to VPN to. The only thing I found it that you need a good VPN router. I use an Asus RT-AC68. But you need to download Merlin firmware for it. Its just a regular upgrade like you would a factory file, no pulling chips or modding the router. Search for Merlin firmware and you'll find the models you can use.

Search the net for NordVPN promo codes. You can get good deals for them.

Have you tried accessing a non-native Netflix with Nord ?

Ended up getting a monthly sub with Torguard (op suggested) as they are offering a 50% off deal.
That said, I have spent a fair bit of time with their support team as my speeds are drastically reduced when the VPN is active.

Most vpns suffer the same fate:try to find a sever as close to yourself as possible.Streaming can be tough with vpns.

I love TOR, but I hate the DL drop offs. PIA is pretty fast. Their TO, MTL and Van servers usually smoke.

I don't use netflix but I can say that with my 25mb service, I can dload through the vpn at 20mb.

I think it will always come down to the speed of your router. I have an Asus RT-N66U and it slowed my service down a little bit. The RT-AC68 brought my speeds up. I know you bought Torguard but those little things make a difference. I bought Nord for the speed of the servers in Switzerland. No laws there. If you download Nord's software onto your computer, you can pretty much match your dload speed like it wasn't using a VPN. I also liked Nord cause I can use it on 6 devices. I have it on 3 Asus routers for IKS, a pc, and two macs. I hope this helps others reading this thread.
