    Last autumn with a few college friends we bought Surfshark subscription https://surfshark.com/, and I am still surprised that we paid cents for this provider. I thought using a VPN will be harder, but everything’s really one click away from unblocking Youtube or Facebook.

    In my school, Youtube and Facebook are banned. So most of the students are unblocking it with VPN. Some are using free VPNs, but I personally use NordVPN. Besides, this provider unblocks US Netflix and Hulu and allows torrenting. What more could you need?
