    Can anybody give me some advice on the best VPN to operate with Amazon fire stick and an Apple computer. I was researching them yesterday and prices vary a lot. Express VPN is nearly £10 a month and Cyber Ghost £1.63. What could justify that price difference?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'd always be weary of a cheap VPN that I've never heard of. Many of the super cheap ones sell your data on, which depending on your reason for using a VPN could defeat the point.

    Thanks for that, particularly the Virgin bit. Guess which router I've got?

    I saw this: We note how the exploit that Fidus found worked with some VPN providers, but not all. For example, a VPN provider that blocks access to local IP addresses by default will prevent this attack, but many such providers do not do that

    Any idea which VPN providers block access to to local ip addresses by default?

    Surf Shark is looking the best so far.

    ExpressVPN is usually regarded as the best or at least up there, i use NordVPN that's good and never had any issues and i use it on my Fire Sticks, SurfShark is another popular one but never used it

    I use Nord. No issues in terms of speed, stability or IP blocking.

    Funnily enough I always choose Switzerland too. Must be the pull of the alpine air.
