A VPN is cheaper and multi-purpose! :)
Maybe something's going over my head but my understanding is a VPN can get you around region locks but you still have to pay for the streaming service to access it.
Unless you're talking about using a VPN to pirate, which I've definitely done without a VPN, albeit a long time ago.
Much safer over a VPN. Not foolproof though; be sure to read up on whatever you’re doing for whatever reason you’re doing it.
Bbc iplayer has an insane amount of stuff, not just bbc original productions.
