Ok thanks I'll give that a go.

If you can, use uBlock Origin.
Surfshark subscription up at the end of this month and whilst I find their service okay, I'll be happy to move onto someone new. Currently looking at Proton as they offer port forwarding and seem to support streaming services. Will use the 30 day money-back guarentee if for some reason I have issues.

It was £60 for two years last month, but this isn't a bad deal.
Just taken a look and they are a possibility with port forwarding also being supported like proton. How are they with streaming services?
Do they give discount codes if you register a free account? Found one on Reddit but it has expired.
Even if you sign up and don't get the app or use it, they'll send codes to your email. I'm on $19/year for Pro.
Maybe I should cancel and await an even bigger reduction in costs.
But all said, They have been great and no issues.

Test both before you commit. I found Windscribe to be congested.
I've signed up with a free Windscribe account to trial them first before going for a paid subscription. I'm using London - Custard which is a 10gpbs server and when testing it on an iplayer downloader I have, I'm getting incredibly slow speeds in the range of 1-2Mb/s. iPlayer itself streaming seems spot on though. Wondering if they are classing it as P2P traffic and therefore not available for free. Any ideas otherwise?
Any of the Proton VPN users finding that more and more services are blocking their IPs? It initially started with the UK based IP addresses, and I'd mitigate by selecting a random EU country, but some sites seem to have the entire ranges blocked.
ExpressVPN users should update there client asap due to bug that can leaked users IP when using RDP.

ExpressVPN bug leaked user IPs in Remote Desktop sessions
ExpressVPN has fixed a flaw in its Windows client that caused Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) traffic to bypass the virtual private network (VPN) tunnel, exposing the users' real IP addresses.
May I ask why it pains you?
As reading the comments from myself and others only on the previous page seems too much, allow me to tell you a story…
A friend paid a lot of money to hike the Himalayas, it’s a fully guided event including Sherpas to move your bags and provide food. She avoided drinking the local water or eating the meat provided because having done this for many years, she knew those that consumed the local cooking predictably ended up with the runs. She instead ate the potato’s with a little seasoning. One day they are hiking along and she sees the locals taking a dump in one particular location, she then realises that’s where the potato’s are grown, and sure enough, sooner or later she gets the runs too.
This is ironically a true story, I have known this person since the mid 90’s, but it illustrates a simple point: Things that come from detritus can’t escape being born of it, and no matter how hard they clean and scrub, or how good they look, sooner or later you realise you are eating someone else’s crap, with a little seasoning to make it taste less like where it comes from.
The only reason I didn't read through all of those comments is that they were posted almost a year prior.
I very much appreciate the humour though. Good read xD
