I have a IT question and couldn’t find a suitable place to ask it, so here’s a general IT topic thread.
I hope nobody’s offended.
Anyway, I’m looking for recommendations for a good vpn. Any ideas?

Here’s a tip: in the URL, anything from “gclid=” or “fbclid=” onwards are usually trackers, and can (or should) be removed before sharing the link…

Another vote for ExpressVPN here, they’re not the cheapest, but I’ve found the service to be excellent.

Surfshark here, a million 83% discounts out there. Costs me £2 a month ish and operates on my phone and all office computers. Excellent piece of kit. Geo lock is a brilliant feature particularly when accessing the BBC from abroad.

Mullvad for me. I learned about them via Privacy Guides website, though I can compare them only with NordVPN when it comes to paid VPN services (and they compare favourably, in my opinion).

NordVPN for me. You can click on my affiliate link but I’m too lazy to create one and post it here.
Keep away from ones that haven’t been around for a long time, or at the very least go month to month until you are satisfied.
I dont particularly use mine for privacy, I use it for content restrictions and ISP throttling.

Thanks everyone. I’m looking to access location restricted content, without getting too specific.
You mean porn in your neck of the woods … 
I’m using https://nordvpn.com/ which is pretty good, also heard a lot of positives about Express

I use NordVPN but I want to point out it is very hit and miss if using to unlock georestricted content. For instance, there isn’t a UK server on NVPN that consistently unlocks BBC.
No Australian NVPN server will unlock content on Kayo (though can access SBS app for instance).
Companies spend a lot of time blacklisting these servers. Some companies (Kayo aka Foxtel) spend more time than others to lock you out of their apps. And I don’t think these big VPN companies are going to differ much on this. If you want a good, reliable VPN for geo unlocking you really need to find a nice ‘quiet’ VPn, not one of these big companies that get their servers blacklisted quickly.
Thanks. I don’t know how candid I can be on this topic, but that’s helpful.
@Bekloppt Good question and thanks to that and the replies I have some idea where to look for a decent VPN. 
Windscribe is pretty good for BBC/Amazon/Netflix. Used for a year and the only time it didn’t work well was during the Euros.

Would appreciate some help regarding proper/better search methods on Google.
I’m searching for some photos (FREE
