Re: VPN

How secure is using a service like Blockless DNS service. Wife wants to look at what's on US netlix.

Re: VPN

I don't think the traffic is encrypted but if you only want to use US Netflix then it doesn't need to be. There is a one week free trial so give it a go.

Re: VPN

Looks like it only changes the DNS response so you hit the US netflix cluster, does nothing to hide your IP so if they wanted to Netflix could still easily tell you are in the UK.

I suspect at some-point they will be forced by the content providers to crack down on it.

Re: VPN

Recently signed up with Ghostpath seems ok, some speed drop.

Cheap as chips as $30 for a year was a Black Friday deal but I signed up just before XMAS and fortunately my next years renewal is also showing up as $30.

Re: VPN

cool. I got my vpn connection on special offer for £26 in December as well. My subscription for a previous one had expired and I wasn't going to renew it but all of a sudden a tonne of blocks dropped down and I wasn't able to access some sites which I use everyday. I spent some time looking at various vpn providers and the one I went with is supposed to be one of the best so it is a bonus that it was cheap as well. There are multiple servers I can connect to in multiple countries and they don't keep any logs of anything.

Re: VPN

I think I have/had an account with them, same as others here got an offer at some point.

Used to use it when on open wi-fi hotspots (E.g hotel, coffee shop.etc)

Re: VPN

I can highly recommend https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/buy-vpn/

If you go for a full year it's only $39.95 half a year is $35.95 they do monthly as well also let you do a free trial for 7 days I think so you can test it out before you buy it.

They have several nodes in lots of countries so you can use an US one to get an US IP to get your Netflix US.

Re: VPN

I use StrongVPN, I get 53 down and 3 up (I am on the 50MB package).

I am not sure what is the top speed of this, but so far it max out my connection

Have a look at this: http://torrentfreak.com/which-vpn-se...dition-140315/

I got PIA from that review also trialled AirVPN which was good but more expensive.

Re: VPN

For those of you who solely want a vpn to gain access to Netflix in the states should know that they are starting to crack down on anyone who uses a vpn or other tools to bypass geolocation restrictions.
