Kevin K Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I know there's been much discussion of this topic over the years but wanted to get an update as it seems like things are always in flux, with U.S.-based streaming services and others trying to prevent access while the VPN folks play the other side of the cat-and-mouse game. We'll subscribe to Mexican Netflix once we get a Mexican credit card but until then would like some access to Amazon Prime and other U.S. streaming services as well as showing a U.S. web address when doing finance stuff. Which service or services seem to be doing the best job at this point? Have used Strong VPN with some success in the past. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 My personal favourite is Unlocator, and I have direct contact with tech support at the company. https://unlocator.com/account/aff/go/LBnVCGEUlOjOJThDyIzN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezzie Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I subscribe to Netflix with a Canadian credit card. Using a Roku stick, I get the Canadian lineup when I plug into a network in Canada and the Mexican lineup when I plug into a network here in Mexico. The Mexican lineup is a bit more limited but still plenty of English content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfresh Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I'm very happy with Ironsocket - good DNS services plus OpenVPN apps. Netflix works fine as does Pandora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobita Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 We kept having troubles with VPN services either bottlenecking our speed or being blocked by US providers (e.g. Netflix). Now we use SmartDNS. Includes a VPN, in case you want encryption, but for simply accessing sites like Netflix etc. without revealing your location, it's an easier solution. http://smartdnsproxy.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
