My Unblock-Us account has finally expired (I was getting a free ride for a bit while they seemingly forgot to bill me). I have been considering a proper VPN for the privacy benefits anyway (I don't even torrent, but I am a big advocate of encryption and privacy).

Nord VPN seems to come up a lot in discussions for having good servers, a good price, and good privacy measures. Is anyone using it?

Unblock-Us was still able to get me the UK TV channels like BBC, ITV, 4oD, etc., which is quite important to me and certainly worth the $5/month. Netflix region switching isn't as big of a deal, but I do miss the added selection.

So the question is: renew with Unblock-Us and just get my UK stuff, or subscribe to a VPN and get the UK stuff, possibly some Netflix region switching, and the added privacy benefits. What are you folks using and what are your thoughts?
