V P N

[Suzukikettle]

Hi would anyone know how I can obtain a V P N to use with a Vodaphone Sim in Portugal so I can watch Amazon Prime

If its a UK sim, you should be OK without a vpn.

Just download the app. Most of them will have a charge though. Many recommend Nord VPN. I use Express which I have used for years and its dead simple.

I use Nord with my Tiekom (Spanish) sim to watch British sites.

Not in my experience, you are connecting to the mobile providers network under a roaming agreement so the issued IP address of that country which will be detected by the region block.

I sacked ExpressVPN having used it 2 years in favour of NordVPN - it's a better service IMHO. Still have some issues with iPlayer sometimes, but Netflix, Prime, ITV, All4 all good.
Free VPNs ... you get what you pay for ...

Take a look at Tvmucho rather than a VPN.

We used it in Spain and Portugal recently on campsite wifi. Worked very well.

We’re in Murcia area and using a U.K. sim card (Popit mobile) without a VPN connected to ROKU stick , live BBC , ITV , CH4 and many mainstream channels available .
its worked faultlessly

I am incorrect having just checked it. My EE phone in Portugal is issuing a U.K. ip address. It did not in the past but I confess I have not checked for years. My apologies

As has our Popit sim card too Neil.

When the site's Portugese WiFi signal is strong enough. I can get UK TV, going through my Windscribe VPN. It helps to save using up my data.

Cheers,

Jock.

Using Tiekom Vodafone Spanish Sim with Express VPN via Firestick on TV and we can use most UK tv and Netflix and Amazon.

Hi we had a Popit sim with 25g on it but you can only renew it once a month otherwise it's £1 per 1g that's to expensive

The plan we are on is 100gb per month which is £25 without restrictions and gives you about 3-4 hours of tv per night over a month
they are bringing out a new plan which is 150gb per month

Another vote for Popit. No problem streaming UK tv without a VPN in Spain.

I think you can check the flag that shows upon your avatar panel. I use SIMs bought in different European countries,and it always shows up as the flag of the SIM country. If I use a Spanish SIM in France, the Spanish flag shows up on here.

I use Tunnel Bear. From France, which works well for security as I have an open Starlink satellite, but to watch anything on Amazon Prime, they know I have a VPN, and always ask me to turn it off! Just like the BBC. Tunnel Bear is cute and I used it before on a normal network.

I have NordVPN on my Teltonika RUT955 router with a Tiekom SIM and have no problems getting BBC,ITV etc with no problems

Yes that’s been recommended to me by several people. So will try that later. I do not really watch much tv at home or when traveling, always too tired. I do not have a SIM because I get everything through Starlink. It gave me great pleasure to cancel my Orange contract that had been useless for so many years. I can get a Starlink for RV but that is more expensive. I use a VPN as Starlink is not secure. Thanks again.

You don't need a VPN or UK sim to watch Prime or Netflix, only needed for UK catchup TV.
