Thread: How to watch Hulu, Netflix, BBC iPlayer without a VPN

But they're slow and annoying.

Usenet is free too, if you're with Node.

Usenet and sickbeard ftw. Once again thanks to OD's awesomeness.

i get full speed on mine every time. must depend on where you get them from

It more depends on how popular the file is, thus how many people are seeding it, the location of those seeds in relation to you, and each seed's upload speed.

All of those factors are entirely redundant with Usenet as files are server hosted with 20-50 simultaneous connections available. Critically, you don't have to upload (i.e. share) any illegal data, and each connection down is highly encrypted.

private tracker = full speed from beginning to end regardless.

So do I have to have a static IP, can I not just run the setup when/if my IP changes?

Edit... WOOT!

Dynamic IP is not a problem. The only limitation of dynamic IP's is that you'll need to visit http://check.unblock-us.com/ every time it changes. Web browser will be forwarded there automatically when you trying to access Netflix, Hulu & other supported sites, but you need to remember about this check when you watch movies on Roku, gaming consoles and other "browserless" devices and applications.

Yeah you don't need a static IP - you'll just see the Unblock page appear when it does change and need to re-register.
