    Hi, I have just visited Argentina for few days, and I use VPN in my daily usage. I am wondering is legal to use a VPN here? or should I stop using it here?

    I don’t think there is anything preventing you to use VPN. It is just a tool. Now, why you use it for can infringe terms of uses of a specific service/vendor.

    For example, using VPN to bypass geo-limitations on multimedia content may be forbidden by your multimedia provider.

    as far as I know, there is no fine for it.

    Welcome to the forum Pollardaustin

    There's nothing illegal about using a VPN anywhere, as far as I know. I often use one for buying software and games due to regional pricing and payment methods.

    Opera browser has a built-in VPN and I use Hola! for watching certain sporting events where you're location has to be UK, for example.

    I had a paid subscription to Nord VPN for two years and it was not any good to watch Hulu. It was too slow and the servers got blocked every so often anyway.

    What VPN would you recommend to bypass Amazon Prime and Netflix geo restrictions?

    Serafina, I would suggest you to try ExpressVPN or PureVPN. They are oldest ones in industry and also they have multiple servers for streaming in different countries. Also I would suggest that use there OpenVPN protocol while doing the streaming on Netflix or Amzon prime, as its most secure protocol and does not get easily detected. Also you can use these guides to set them up.

    Thank you! Can I use them with Apple TV or should I install them on the computer and connect them to the TV?
    I am using Telecentro’s modem-router, so I don’t think I have much flexibility

    No if your router does not support the VPN setup then you have set it up on your computer and then connect it to the TV.

    VPNs are legal everywhere, so the question is moot. What you use the VPN for is another matter, such as illegal file downloading.

    A couple of years ago I bought a two year subscription of Surfshark VPN for $60 and now it needs renewing at $60 for just one year. Not exactly bait and switch, but expensive all the same, so I cancelled the renewal.

    I've used various VPNs over the years, including free ones which end up as freemium usually and not very good at all with a lot of drop offs.

    Surfshark has been very consistent with hardly any loss of speed at all, but $60 is expensive, so I may well wait for another two year offer, since lifetime VPNs are a thing of the past. Monthly subs are where it's at today but Surfshark don't do monthly payment plans

    They do however have an offer of 28 months at the equivalent of $1.99 per month if you pay $55.72 for the 28 months which turns out cheaper than what I paid before. But you still can't pay monthly...

    How much does Surfshark cost? Check the pricing - Surfshark

    What do you think of the free VPN built into the Opera browser?

    What a complicated world we live in.

    There are times I yearn for the simplicity of more analog times.

Thank you for the support!
