Which VPN works best on iPad, iPhone, and Mac?

In view of the new online safety act which has come into being in the UK - which is not only to supposedly keep children safe online, but also to censor a lot of stuff the disgusting government don’t like us knowing about - I am thinking of signing up to either Nord VPN or Surf Shark.

Can anybody give me advice as to which works best on iPad, iPhone & Mac & also is having a VPN likely to cause any conflict with using these items.

Thanks in anticipation of your assistance.

The only reason for example to use a VPN is to download or watch a video/movie that is region restricted. As for you your location will be in a different country. Your banking or what ever else might restrict you at that point. Also you’ll have crappy internet speed.

Surely it will give me more online safety with encryption etc, esp re online banking?

NOPE… in fact you’ll get a hit on internet speed. Using a VPN may not give you access to your banking.

Ok thank you Lawrence. I had been under the impression that VPNs were the ultimate in keeping us safe online, which is why I thought about getting one.
