I'm on Express VPN only because they apparently specialise in avoiding geoblocks and VPN detection for overseas TV sites etc. (Plus three months free for being a TWiT.) So far it's true for BBC iPlayer, RTe Player and UK Channel 4. For this purpose I'm not overly worried about how log-resistant they are, but interesting to keep up with the score here. The integrated 'ad blocking' is also useful, but slower than AdGuard as it seems pages have to wait for assets to fail to load before displaying rather than just being 404'd.
I wonder how they manage to bypass the geo-location blocks? I would if they frequently rotate their IP Addresses with fresh ones.
Possibly, or they have multiple entry points on residential ISP blocks and don't have too many people NAT'd per IP so it looks legit. That would explain the higher costs.
