This inspired me to download and try (again) Hotspot Shield so I could attempt to watch US Netflix.

It worked this time. No idea why it hasn't in the past.

Now the wife and I can continue our Roseanne marathon.

I wish all these copyright dealios would fuck off. I'm paying for Netflix, make everything available to me now. Everything.

What is this Hotspot Shield? Do you have to pay for it and can anyone use it to get Netflix US?

Damn, the governments need to fuck off sometimes....and focus on real issues.

I've tried it before and it didn't work.. but this time it did. So.. dunno what to tell you.

It kind of runs in the background and hides your IP address so you can access blocked sites from other countries. Like the US.

my buddy just changed his ip/proxy stuff set to an american one, he told me there's sites that have 1000's of them from countless countries.

There are, but proxies can also be quite risky

Thanks for the heads-up -- when last I tried it, it wasn't working, but it seems to be working a bit better now... unfortunately, I had issues with the free version that made it unusable: it'd pop up an audio/video ad (sometimes several overlapping) that could not be quit -- would still hear the audio play even after closing all browser windows/applications. I guess they really want you to hear their ads.

Unfortunately, that kind of thing doesn't inspire confidence in the non-free version... ;)

So far it's been working decently enough. I've been experiencing some lag on netflix.com and some sites don't load properly if it's turned on.

But for the most part it's been a success where its needed to be.

goodnight sweet prince ;_;

When I told my friend about this, he was like W/E, I don't care. I told him, Um, I'm pretty sure thats the site you use for watching all your TV shows and movies(which he does a lot of) and he said NO, thats MegaVideo! I said yea, pretty sure its the same thing as it said MegaUpload at the top of the page... Following day he came back to me and said FUCKERS! THEY SHUT DOWN MEGAVIDEO!!!! I lol'ed

This is what you are greeted by now when you try to go to the site, or a related site

Ozzi

im actually a little more pissed cause allot of stuff on my apple tv is from mega video...

Doos

A lot of peoples very real and legal information is trapped in there.

People's businesses are trapped in there.. apparently.

Rajio

yes among other things this should remind you not to keep all your eggs in one basket, including data. make redundant backups. even google can lose/trap your data one day.

Howdy, Stranger!
