how's it going everybody welcome back and today i'm going to show you guys three of the best
vpns for the uk for privacy streaming and speed and not just for the uk obviously but i picked
these three vpns specifically because they're all able to unblock uk based streaming services and
netflix libraries so uh of course these vpns are overall just the really best vpns uh in terms of
privacy speed streaming taunting capabilities as well as security and features and i'll get
to it in just a second but before we begin if you guys are interested in any of these vpns
you'll find links to special deals and discounts in the description down below as well as full
reviews if you'd like to learn more about these vpns okay so starting with privacy first of all
all of these vpns do support the standard 256-bit encryption they are all independently audited to
certain degrees though i would say expressvpn is the most audited vpn followed up by nordvpn and
surf shark but they all do have a clean slate in their history and they are basically based in good
in jurisdictions where data retention laws are much more lenient than uh for example the uh five
nine and fourteen eyes jurisdiction so uh overall these vpns are great in terms of their privacy
and security i would give it to expressvpn specifically because in 2017 the turkish
authorities seized an express vpn server and they were still unable to extract anything out of the
servers specifically because they run their servers on a ram disk mode which means that
there are no physical drives that operate uh their servers and while that was overall just
one way to prove that they have a no locks policy through this kind of a live incident right here uh
of course nordvpn and surfshark also operate their servers on ram disk mode and they have independent
audits but with expressvpn we have the extra kind of real life situation to prove their true no logs
policy but overall you are in good hands no matter which vpn you're using here okay for streaming
as you can tell i have unblocked a bbc iplayer very easily because i'm connected to expressvpn
but worry not of course i wouldn't put it right here if nordvpn and surfshark did not work with
bbci player and of course other streaming services that are based in the uk such as netflix uk
and oh i have to sign in okay but anyways i do have the ability obviously to uh play whatever i
want otherwise it would give me the notification that says it's not available in my region so
you know for streaming services and using netflix as a reference uh expressvpn is able to unblock up
to 18 netflix libraries 10 with nord and 15 with surfshark i would just point out temporarily only
nordvpn is a and is unable to unblock the us netflix library it is able to unblock
european and asian netflix libraries and other us-based streaming services such as hulu hbmx
amazon prime video and whatnot but it's just that the netflix us library is a little bit of a tough
nut to crack for nordvpn just temporarily so if that's what you're looking for if you're
looking to unblock us netflix specifically stick to express and surf short okay so now with speed
overall all vpns are super quick but nordvpn and expressvpn seem to be on equal footing though
i have noticed that expressvpn is a little bit more consistent whereas sometimes nordvpn even
when i'm using the best performing protocol the nord lynx protocol right here it seems to
sometimes fall behind expressvpn but i don't mean fall behind by a lot i would say on average
expressvpn is about one to three percent faster than nordvpn so uh you can see why i'm kind of uh
you know hesitant to say that expressvpn or vpn is faster uh because they're both kind of
on equal footing the one that's a little bit behind is surf shark and i would say it's uh
between five and ten percent slower than express and nord but that still means that it is not
uh going to drop your speed uh past 25 or 30 percent so surf shark is still a very quick vpn
if you're looking for the quickest obviously it's going to be for the most part expressvpn
uh followed up by nordvpn again arguably so because nordvpn has a true wireguard protocol
and nordlinks is just such a quick protocol so it's very tough for me to say that expressvpn is
quicker i would say both expressvpn nordvpn are on equal footing when it comes to speed and followed
up by surf shark of course you know surf shark is a very budget-friendly vpn so you can expect why
it would be a little bit lacking in performance security so but overall it's actually still
very very secure and very quick okay now with regards to features just to run you through the
features real quick let me just turn this off uh so vpn locations of course we've got over
000 servers in 94 countries with expressvpn over 5 100 servers in 60 countries with nordvpn so that's
34 less countries but as you can tell it's still kind of covering most of the globe you know it's
not bad at all but expressvpn just has that much more servers or locations rather in countries
and with surfshark you've got over 3200 servers in 65 countries not bad at all with expressvpn
you'll be able to secure up to five devices per subscription six with nord and virtually
an unlimited number of devices with surf shark i would say that expressvpn overall if you just want
a quick brief you know obviously all these vpns by the way do have the basic uh features such as the
kill switch and split tunneling but you know with nordvpn you'll be getting extra features such as
specialty servers and amp kill switch custom dns but with surfstrac you'll also be getting a couple
of specialty servers um you know the app blocker shadow socks protocol and no borders mode and
whatnot so yeah you've got a few extra features here and there with these vpns whereas expressvpn
is a little bit more bare bones but it focuses on ease of use performance security and top-notch
reliability even when netflix cracks down on the expressvpn servers so without making the video too
long as a conclusion i would just use expressvpn just go with expressvpn at the end of the day even
if it's the one of the more expensive vpns it's still a few bucks a month so if you can handle
that definitely go for the best choice right here expressvpn followed up by nordvpn being the vpn
that's a little bit cheaper but offers quite a bit more uh options here and there you know specialty
servers and app kill switch custom dns and whatnot so if that's your cup of tea definitely go that
but if you're looking for the vpn that just gets the job done at the cheapest possible cost without
really sacrificing much on uh performance security or features for that matter then
surf shark is definitely a very convenient choice okay so of course keep in mind that these vpns are
all covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee no matter which plan you decide to get it's very easy
to claim even if you could just get the one month plan you can go to the 24 7 live chat support
