That’s the refrain we’ve all heard from day one, cheerfully obliterated when people started running businesses, writing books and recording entire albums on an Apple tablet. But even as a long-time iPad fan, I’ll admit there’s been a kernel of truth in the naysaying. Because although there are many amazing iPad apps, the broader interface has long felt like My First PC.

And this means a feeling of frustration is inevitable when you discover that something you really want to watch isn’t available in your geographic area. A VPN offers a way around this region locking, by hiding your real location and replacing it with one of your choosing. In this way, you can access the overseas catalogues of Netflix and many other streaming video providers by connecting to a VPN – though it’s not a foolproof process.…
