Accessing blocked UK channels in Munich

7 years ago

This is a pain but I only realised how blocked the channels are while at a friend's apartment in Munich some weeks ago. Also the apartment I am moving to soon.
My name is Steve, I work in copywriting and heading to Munich to find work while initially working on some freelance projects for firms in the UK.
I will really miss my favourite TV stuff if I cant access them, ITV, BBC, some of Sky.
I have been told I can use a VPN to get round this, and also Kodi can help.
So I dug around, anyone got experience of the free VPNs around, some have been mentioned on Facebook.
But I Googled all that and was told the free ones are not a good choice, and in fact, paid ones are not that expensive. So why risk my data and hardware. This article for example, https://anonymster.com/free-vpn-a-study-expose-all-the-dangers/ got me worried, as malware only recently messed up a laptop.
So, I would appreciate some input in reference to the article on the facts its mentions and if the free ones are okay. Any help appreciated.
