Problem I have with VPN's is that typically you don't get full speed from your broadband are they are limited to may a 10 Gig of traffic per month.

I am yet to find a VPN provider that I would trust enough to use.
Good advice.

By the sounds on it, you only need the VPN for the landing page. Once you’re in, you can turn the VPN off and it should work as normal.

Instead of protecting kids, it's peeing off every adult. VPNs will just be the norm and then they'll be less protection. Those that give details out will probably end up subjected to some hack/leak of some kind. All this for what? And at what cost, apart from looking like a dictatorship country and a laughing stock.
Don’t worry. I’m sure there will be legislation around VPN use before too long.
