VPN from India to UK for an iPad

[UnderOpenSky]

Throwing this out there as it was dropped on me tonight. My partners sister is off to India tomorrow for a while (not that I'm jealous) and was asking me how she could access her UK Netflix from her iPad. An app based VPN provider seems to be the simplest way, but I don't have much time to do research. Can anyone recommend one. I've not used a VPN to do this kind of thing for many years so your thoughts would be really appreciated.

I use surfshark which seems to do the job.

Beware some vpn’s particularly cheap/free ones as Netflix block a lot of the addresses they use. It seems to be the more established ones like Nord and Surfshark etc which are the most stable from experience.

Tailscale and use her home internet as an exit node?

Yes. Sorry that's what I was thinking and should have put in the OP.

I'm worried about recommending one and it being blocked.

If it was for me or I had more time I'd probably go this route of similar, but not sure i want to get that involved. She doesnt have home Internet as has rented her flat. could put her on mine, but not sure how comfortable I am doing that.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Can those who have recommend one confirm they have used it for Netflix?

That's on the sister though. Explain its not foolproof but she can try Nord or one of the other established ones. They are good value too. Nord you can usually get for a really reasonable deals.

Well maybe. But asking people if it's worked for them seems better then saying randomly pick one no?

Perfect. One the big ones. Even my partners heard of that as they advertise on YouTube.

Yeah of course just didn't feel it was all on you. I hate making recommendations to people I know in case it goes wrong.

Looks like Nord's a good shout and I've always found them good too.

I always buy Nord through topcashback and get a discount. I have to change my email address every time, though.

Nord are doing a 30 day free trial ATM I think. Would that cover the trip UnderOpenSky ?

I normally try and avoid it like the plague, but my partner rather expects it.

No, but it's great to check it works.

I'm told the issue on past trips is her UK login works, but gets Indian content.

Don't know. She's not asked. I'm hoping she's enjoying India enough she's not felt the need to watch Netflix. Thanks though.
