| 1405755 | 2015-08-03 04:59:00 | I am enjoying my free 12 month trial of Lightbox and have become seriously addicted (grin) to The Good Wife - have now seen all 4 series available on that network.... I am happy to take out a sub for say Amazon Prime, or Hulu etc. but wondered if there is an easy way to accomplish this? I have installed a VPN so I can circumvent the location question - Just wondered if others are doing this - no point in re-inventing the wheel.... Bryden |

| 1405758 | 2015-08-03 22:06:00 | It's been discussed a few times recently in other threads. Unotelly was recommended a few times to avoid geo blocking. A few others were mentioned as well. I have tried Hola and it works and is free, but recently seen a lot of posts regarding it's possibly dodgy methods. Basically the free version uses your PC as web access on the network for others on the Hola network and Hola sells access to their network. There are claims for example it's been used as a botnet for attacks on websites. As you've already set up a VPN though all you should need to do is figure out which service has the content you want and set up an account with them. Netflix has the advantage that you can sign up for a local NZ account and then use it with your VPN to view locked content, it just changes what you can view based on your apparent IP address location dynamically. Other services may require you to have an overseas address and credit card but it can be done apparently. |

Is this considered so fringe that everyone is keeping their heads down.... grin.... many would just download the programs or use pirated streaming services, thats not legal , at all. But by far the easiest (and thats another topic for discussion) The programs you want may even be on Youtube ,many are . Have a look at geekzone, plenty of info or US based services & VPN services etc . www.geekzone.co.nz |

| 1405760 | 2015-08-03 23:23:00 | As per the other thread you started, you do not need a VPN and a VPN is not the best option. Maybe you're just using VPN as a generic term to get around geo blocking? | Alex B (15479) | ||
| 1405761 | 2015-08-04 03:39:00 | I did install the VPN for geo blocking.... what are the preferred options in your view Alex please? CBS broadcasts the programme I want to watch but I have to fill in all sorts of data to subscribe - guess I could use something fictitious and if I make payment via Paypal there would be no indication of where I live - am I right? 1101 d/l the programmes - they are very large files and I only want to watch them once and am happy to take out a short sub.... |

| 1405762 | 2015-08-04 03:57:00 | Unotelly or Unblock-US are the 2 most widely known DNS services. It will be much faster than VPN. I think someone already mentioned this to you last week | nmercer (3899) | ||
| 1405763 | 2015-08-04 04:01:00 | I only posed my question yesterday - I tried using Search for VPN but maybe I should have tried geo-blocking.... will go and check those two out - thanks for the heads-up | Bryden (4161) | ||
| 1405764 | 2015-08-04 04:53:00 | pressf1.pcworld.co.nz Have a look at the second page of this thread. But as Nathan has pointed out Unotelly and Unblock-US are 2 of the good ones. | Alex B (15479) | ||
