raffy Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 So I'm taking a 3 week vacation to the Philippines next week and I'd like to be able to stream video from various sources - Netflix, NBC Sports, HBO GO, etc. and I know that there are limitations on streaming these outside the USA. It seems like a VPN is a feasible solution. Any recommendations on which service to use? I don't mind paying for a month and I'm trying to stream via iPad/iPhone and perhaps using my laptop as a backup. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 You could look into this.https://unlocator.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffy Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Thanks Shelly, that looks promising and relatively cheap. For some reason, Netflix is not listed as an app that their service will help enable, not sure why that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Oh, I thought they were but maybe Netflix changed the way they do things since the last time I looked. This implies that you can use Netflix with them. You could always use the free trial or shoot them an email. https://support.unlocator.com/customer/portal/articles/1147679-how-to-setup-ipad Edited June 23, 2015 by shellylh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffy Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Seems like Netflix has some way to detect people using geolocator tricks or VPNs. Better than nothing though, HBO GO and streaming the Tour de France is better than nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 IIRC you just need to use an american dns with it for netflix to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffy Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Cool, I'll try that then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absorbine_Sr Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I use TunnelBear on both my laptop and phone. $5 a month if I remember correctly. I've not VPN'd to the US but it works well for the UK etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I use playmo.tv to watch Netflix here as well as everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadphoneAddict Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 You can also use hotspotshield.com to get a VPN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
