VPN thoughts?

Hello all.

as a security concious user i am considering a VPN service like this one https://www.ipredator.se/ (came highly recommended)

You guys here seem much smarter than me and i would love to hear your thoughts, here are my reasons for considering this solution

I live in the UK where privacy is becoming a thing of the past.]

I like to watch TV shows from the USA and as i cant buy them over here for months i on occasion may use other methods to get them , this service makes this safer and easier i think.

This service seams well priced for a massive gain in my online security.

i would like to know if i could put the settings onto my router and use it directly like that. (my isp is talk talk, using talk talk router)

does anyone recommend another service? if so why?

thank you in advance for yoru help, you guys always have the best answers :)

EDIT: I signed up to the service. so far so good
