We have purposely blocked the internet provider SKY, so if you are with SKY as your internet provider the answer is YES. Everyone else is okay without a VPN, but your are welcome to use one if you feel comfortable using one. For most this is not an ideal situation but we do offer FREE VPN to customers who are with SKY so we help solve the additional cost.
SKY seems to be the root of all evil so we just block them from even accessing out service, plain and simple.
