Need a free VPN. Hola any good?

Post by Username Taken »

I need to access Amazon US, UK and CA to check prices and get links for affiliate links. I have found that sometimes Amazon will say that a particular product is not available, but if I change the 'deliver to' location in the top left corner by simply adding a US postcode (or, UK or CA as the case may be), then magically the product is available and shows the current price.

That has worked fine up until today. Now when I try to change my location, they want me to log in and register a full address. I could very easily just make up an address, but I don't want to do that.

I'm thinking that I might try a vpn. I won't be downloading anything, and I won't be streaming video or doing anything illegal. All I want to do is make it look like I am in the US (or UK, or CA) while checking what I need to check.

Not being familiar with vpns I searched ceo and found that Hola gets a few mentions. Ideally I'd like a free service. I see that Hola has a Firefox plugin (extension).

Anyone familiar with the Hola firefox plugin, or Hola in general? Will it do what I want to achieve?

TIA.

Not sure about Hola, but I've used TunnelBear that seemed to be an OK VPN with the program running simply with no issues.

Windscribe is pretty good for a free service

Off to a good start here.

1. Hola
2. TunnelBear
3. Windscribe

I've installed Hola for Firefox, and it is brilliant (so far).
I currently have 3 tabs open. One each with Azn US, UK, and CA, each connected with their own IP. :thumb:

I have two:
Opera VPN free but when you sign on, you do not get to choose what city you sign on from.
IPvanish this is pay, but i needed something that would let me connect from NYC, USA, i think its like $15 for 3 months.

Nord has a black Friday deal on at the moment; 2 years for $89 and it beats the shit out of any free vpn services. Highly recommend it.

Which one would you suggest when contacting a special friend? And that's without lotsa luggage.

Opera freebie browser and every freebie plug in for Firefox has been fine for me. My friends are special but not as special as Matty9999's friends though, so it will depend on how special your friends are or whether or not you are purchasing drugs on the Dark Net like ???.
