Here's a solution: grab the smallest Linode for $20/month, on Windows, set up Putty to SSH into your box and forward the relevant ports (Google for instructions), enjoy Netflix, Pandora, etc. anywhere in the world! I've used this method to watch Netflix in many countries -- it takes about 5 minutes to pre-buffer, but Instant Watching works fantastically well.
EDIT: Flash used to have a problem where it wouldn't respect your proxy settings, not sure if they've fixed that.
- throwaway64 15y agoYou can get much cheaper VPN/proxy services than a $20/mo linode instance. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SERVICES http://strongvpn.com/ http://strongvpn.com/ http://hotspotshield.com/ http://hotspotshield.com/ http://www.hideipvpn.com/ http://www.hideipvpn.com/ http://switchvpn.com/ http://switchvpn.com/ The list goes on... Do note that these companies specifically market themselves as a method of bypassing GeoIP blocks, and will rotate IP ranges to bypass any blocks that are set up. VPS/Server hosts like linode give you one static IP that is easily blocked.
- dholowiski 15y agoNot sure if this would work. I tried it with amazon ec2 and hulu said I was trying to access it through a proxy server and denied access. I tried getting a new IP several times. Hulu is very proactive about blocking proxies.
