bdmowers Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Don`t wanna spend much to stream the Amazon Prime videos. Is anyone using an inexpensive software-only-based VPN to do this? Extra credit: are you also streaming Netflix with the same VPN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NLU Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 one usually gets what one pays for some work today but not tomorrow after several years here, I believe strong is the best but others will get a favorable vote from this community as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabacone Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 We stream Amazon and Hulu on https://www.unblock-us.com Not perfect every time but usually works without hic-cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooMuchCoffee Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I've only had limited success with accessing Netflix via a VPN. Seems like sooner or later, Netflix gets wind of the VPN connection (due to multiple connection requests from multiple users) and blacklists the IP address of the VPN provider. I'm still looking for a good solution and will give Strong a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecoons Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Our Strong is currently being blocked by NetFlix. We were over at a friend's house using Strong and they were blocked as well. This happened last week. Usually in a few days Strong comes up with a workaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLU Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 I watched Netflix yesterday evening using Strong VPN. No problem. We'll see is there is one later today. However, I am having problem with Amazon Prime. Strong VPN works on my computer, but NOT with Amazon Fire TV or Amazon Fire Kindle. Anyone out there have a workaround?

barcelonaman Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 to watch movies and tv shows i use showbox app. or movies hd.all on demand. you could try touch vpn, free from google play android/ microsoft store for windows 10. think ok for ios as well or a dns changer from unotelly.com. think its a canadian company but servers worldwide. i access bbc iplayer regularly without problems.think is about 50 usd per year.

Remember it is NetFlix U.S. that gets blocked. You can watch NetFlix Mexico direct, no need for VPN. Or they may have not "found" the Strong server you are using. They definitely found ours. NetFlix U.S. was still blocked on our Strong as of 7PM yesterday. Also on our friend's. Never had a problem streaming Amazon Prime through our VPN and Roku device. It will not stream directly through our Mexican IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brunoben Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 I don't understand why you are purchasing these expensive VPN instead you can use netfflix addon on kodi and stream whatever you want without paying single penny. Even i'm using sportsdevil or Netflix from 1 year without any issue. You should check this guide if you want to install these addon. https://mykodiaddons.com/install-sportsdevil-kodi/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 I would be wary right now of clicking any link provided by someone who has two posts discussing how easy it is to use addons. And responding to threads that are months old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCdoug Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 I am not streaming but browser Opera has free VPN and it works fine for me. I like Opera browser and it works fine, but sometimes it loses my settings and I have to reset them. If it was a real problem, I would look into it more.

I have been looking for a VPN that works and is easy to set up and use - mainly to stream music from Pandora. Super easy to set up and it works! and its free .... doesn't have a lot of choices for countries though so no TV from England or Australia - oh well - it streams my music!

Bajabrady Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 I use expressvpn vpn that offers a streaming DNS setting and a blocker. Excellent customer service. Chat box pops up and walks you through changing vpn locations when one gets blocked. Use me as a reference and we both get an extra month. I had a problem with amazon because I signed up for amazon Mexico. I had to chat with amazon customer service and have them change my account from Mexico to US. Then vpn from there. But amazon got tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pappysmarket Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Another vote for ExpressVPN, not the cheapest but so far the best of 4 I have used over the years. Just tested and was blocked with my Mexican address and switched to EV and it came right up. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kookielendmeyourcomb Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 I’ve been using Express VPN for over a year, with my Amazon Prime Video with no problem... that was until October 2. Sigh. It no longer works. I tried about five other VPNs I’ve had some luck with in the past, but it seems Amazon has now caught on. I suspect VPNs are a thing of the past for Amazon. After the same problems last year with Netflix I switched to Netflix Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bajabrady Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 I had that happen I could only get Mexican amazon movies. I’m contacted amazon and told them the issue and I was traveling to Mexico not but back in the states. They had to switch my country setting on their end. Just make sure if you open up your amazon movies your von is on. Also, sometimes with expressvpn the setting needs to be on la 3 or New Jersey 2. Amazon blocks some of the other cities. Just chat up expressvpn and ask them which setting is working and they’ll tell you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonSmith Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Download the official Showbox APK and Live NetTV APK from here to stream or download free movies and TV shows on your Android device. I have used both apps and it's working great. Showbox App for HD Movies and TV Shows. Live NetTV App for 800+ Live TV Channels and Movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingting Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 ExpressVPN will do it. I also like Amazon Prime and NetlixUSA. I got Hulu, too, but didn't like it. Free Vons rarely work for long, or they can't access everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
