 |
|
Hello,
I'm trying to set up an Xbox 360 to stream online content from the UK/US, but as expected it blocks it because of the IP address being in Korea.
What do people use in order to circumvent this? Is there a specific proxy server for this?
Thanks |

AFAIK there is no way.
Even if you use a VPN as a gateway (via router or another computer), XBox Live still finds a way to know your location. |

| Yeah, I wish there was a way around it but I have no idea. I'd love to be able to watch SKY television from the UK but it won't let me log in from here. I imagine there's no way around it what with it being a console... |

| I have a VPN router set up through StrongVPN and use it for my Roku, PS3, Xbox and iDevices. Works fine and able to stream Netflix and other US/UK apps, so I'm not sure why it doesn't work for pkang0202 |

Thanks for the replies.
I got it working - started using a VPN service, updated the DNS addresses and Netflix is now up and running. |

I used Astrill. From what I got from talking to their(Astrill) tech support, their VPN didnt' support some kind of protocol that the XBox Live uses.
Looks like STrong VPN does. |

Okay, I'm a bit of a moron when it comes to technical stuff, so could someone give me a quick walkthrough how this works?
If I subscribe to STrong VPN, at 7 dollars a month, I could set up my router to think that I'm in the UK? Then I could subscribe to the UK services on Xbox Live like Sky and such? I'm already a Gold Member of Xbox Live... |

You would need a router that supports VPN. Or, you can get a router that supports DD-WRT firmware, and flash it so that it will then support VPN.
Or, I think STrongVPN sells routers that are already pre-configured. |

Ahh typical. I just threw out my old router that was already flashed with DD-WRT because one of the antennas broke and it was only sending out half a signal and bought a new IpTime router instead. Bollocks. |
