The whole reason I have the DP-600 in the first place is that in addition to playing DVDs it can play media files (such as rips) from a UPNP server on a PC. Of course there are plenty of other streaming media players out there these days.

If only that were true. I think it was around about the same time (2004) that Bill Gates said "Two years from now, spam will be solved". Of course the spammers quickly adapted their techniques to defeat Bayesian filters, leading to the send

Perhaps I should have made it clearer that the purpose of using a proxy in the way I illustrated was to access geographically restricted sites (such as the Amazon.com Kindle store) rather than for security/anonymity (which as you point out
