I'd advise everyone to get a decent VPN, THE UK is getting worse and worse with net censorship. They've been blocking torrent sites (even legit ones) for a couple of years now.

You can usually pick up a 12 month VPN sub for about $30 USD (£25 ish) and then you won't be blocked from any site or need any orwellian "pass" . Plus they can't track your activity. It's pretty much an essential for unrestricted net access these days IMO.

Whichever VPN you choose to use can then log all your data and share it with whoever .... yes the connection may be secure, but they will have logs of what sites you visited and when. I dont consider that better option. At least with your current ISP they are legally required to destroy your data after a period of time

The larger reputable ones don't keep logs in the first place, guaranteed contractually, meaning you can sue them if they did share any information. And also if they shared any log it would literally destroy their business over night as they would lose every single customer.

Frankly the suggestion that one should trust a UK based ISP with sensitive data over a reputable VPN is insanity.
