hey. been hearing about ipv6 stuff but i don't have any idea about it. u mind sharing what u know?
VPN only or proxy ? VPN as a cost of sacrificing speed due to encryption through tunnel.
Unblock-us is good. Their based in Canada that's what i use. FYI, I also heard there is DNS leak with PIA, based on TorrentFreak,, not sure if that's true, since they use their own back-end dns server, so your not connecting directly to there dns server... Your connecting only to a forwarder which forwards queries to their actually dns server they run.

PIA has some 2 year for $60 deal going on for new customers only: http://slickdeals.net/f/7952493-2-year-private-internet-access-vpn-service-for-59-95-2-50-month
If you want to use OpenVPN then try iVPN for P2P, great speeds and does multi hop . Or Tunnelbear is a great service that has its own software and is fast but does not allow P2P.
ZenMate works fine for me with the Chrome browser plugin on the desktop machine. Netflix on my Mac is no problem plus Netflix also works fine on iOS.
However Hulu works fine on the Mac but seems not to work on the iOS devices. Anyone getting the same error message?

Looks like we're having trouble completing this action right now. Please try again later. (16)

This is correct. There is zero safety/privacy with vypervpn. It's a product developed solely for the purpose of charging 30/month for Giganews 'premium' Usenet plan. Then they started hawking it on its own.
If you opt for Smart DNS, then OverPlay is a decent choice ($4.95), I used them for 6 months or so. They also have VPN.
Another option is CactusVPN who also offer both VPN and Smart DNS and probably works out a bit cheaper. I've now using Cactus as they're a bit cheaper with the VPN bundle. Definitely recommend looking at combo VPN+smart DNS - some providers for comparison.

Unblock-Us is a Smart DNS service, which is similar to VPN in the context of IP redirection, but it doesn't encrypt traffic.
For your specific purpose smart DNS will probably do the trick. I've been using HideIpVPN for Netflix. Some more options here: https://www.bestvpnz.com/best-smart-dns-proxy-services/
Just to throw out another option, which works well for me, and I think it is the lowest-cost as well. At $2/month, Ad Free Time is a great deal and works for my mlb.tv needs. https://adfreetime.com/get-started/
Been using https://ironsocket.com and I do not agree with what you said. Based from experiences, I say IronSocket is a good vpn when it comes to personal matter, business, travel, unblock sites such as Netflix, Hulu, HBO, BBC iPlayer, etc... and others... If y'all have time, please do check on them, check on their site and it surprise yourself. Cheers....
I was using unblock us then switched to unotelly. Currently using tvunblock.com. It's completely free and works just as good as paid services I've been using. The only catch is you have to visit the website once a month to keep your IP address active.

I have Private Internet Access and am trying to bypass the location check of the MLB app. I don't want to route all traffic from my Apple TV over the VPN, just whatever routes it takes to get past the blackout portion of the check. Is there a specific host that it uses to check your location? If so, I can use iptables to route traffic to that specific host over the VPN. Any ideas?
Location is only an issue on iPads, tablets, phones. Devices that uses location services, as far as know cannot be bypassed. Just about any one of the services listed above will work on an Apple TV. I've used with success unblockus and unlocator.
I use https://unlocator.com,they have a 7 day free trial period .
They are based in Denmark ,and unblocks some 213+ channels.

Hi,
Mac is the most reliable OS, but still when we are online spammers, hackers and cyber criminals are always hunting for their prey especially those marketers, to avoid such issue you must use a secure VPN that is also easy on your pocket. I personally use VPN for over a year now and found it very useful, secure and easy within my budget.
Getfix is another one, but their VPN doesn't work with Internet Connection Sharing on Mac.
I use expressvpn with vuze and have not experience any speed sacrifice, my downloads are same speed with and without expvpn. They also have an iOS app which I have not used.
