When VPN is connected, you will be accessing the Internet with UK IP address.

After you finish watching to disconnect press the Disconnect button (2). Your internet connection then goes back to normal.

Application also installs a tray icon indicating VPN connection status, and allowing easy access to control window, as well as some common operations from its popup menu.
