I don't have a problem paying under a pound a week to have VPN on my phone, PC, two tablets, my wife's phone and tablet, and on our two fire stick - ymmv...
I pay $2 per month to Windscribe. For this price you get to select a server I pay for US which includes a Netflix IP, Unlimited traffic and what they call R.O.B.E.R.T. You also get free servers which includes the UK and various others. I used Germany today.

I have checked my email via https://mail2.virginmedia.com/appsuite/# twice this morning. I just tried again and AVAST has blocked access saying it's a phishing scam.

Consider changing your AV to something like Bit defender Free or even Windows Defender.

If you want a paid AV with more features I would personally go for Bit defender total security.
