Dr. Cockroach Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 As you know, there are certain websites and contents that are restricted to only the people who live in the USA. Take for example Pandora.com. If you live anywhere outside the US, you won't be able to get it. What do expats in the Philippines do for such things?

MikeB Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 VPN, pick a server anywhere in the world and you will be assigned an IP address there. The service I use covers all continents except Antarctica. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve & Myrlita Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Hotspot shield seems to work for me at least for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cockroach Posted October 11, 2012 Author Posted October 11, 2012 MikeB, Which service are you using? Steve & Myrlita, Thanks! I will check it out. Actually, I am in the US now and have been using a router that has built in VPN (configuration) which I gave to a Canadian friend of mine. It works but occasionally, there is a hiccup due to, I think, the protocol being used. When I leave the US, I won't have a lovely friend like myself :hystery: so, I will need to subscribe to some VPN service like the one Steve had mentioned. I will go with the one that works not the one that promises it will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Which service are you using? I use this but there are many others. The problem with the free ones is all the popups and adware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cockroach Posted October 12, 2012 Author Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) Actually, I used them when I was in Sydney once but needed it for a week. Steve seems to have a cheaper one, Hotspot shield, since it's FREE :thumbsup: Mind you, it costs as an app on phone. But not that much at all.
