VPN request

Just got a message from a friend who is in the UK and wants to watch US TV, catchup, watch again type services. He is totally non-technical so is looking for something easy to sign up to and use.

I have no idea on these kinds of things, what I can I suggest for him?

    NordVPN along with its smart dns unlocks almost anything geo restricted. Which includes US Flix^^ Super simple to use, too.

    @Lee Note that afaik Smart DNS thing is being activated by default for any of their servers (if you use their client) and if I recall correctly they told me that all their servers unlock flix US by default except for Australia, NZ and I think Hong Kong/Japan which unlock their respective countries Flix. This can be usefull if you wanna use flix US but can still use a server closer to you ping wise (if your not from the US).

  • its amazing how opendns is blocking both nordvpn and smartdnsproxy ..

  • LeeLee Veteran

    Have given him the links and will see how he gets on with it, I am sure I will hear back soon. TV of any kind is just meh to me if I do want to watch something it needs to be on Netflix if not, I go without :)

    I was wondering how long it would take #askingforafriend

    Hmm... I need a diversion. Oh, I know. @Maounique

  • Use windscribe. They also have a free package which gives as I remember 10GB per month. Register, download, and install and go to any site and watch whatever you want.

    Any diversion will do, without getting banned in the process :)

    So, got a question on this, my friend (when he wants something) signed up to NordVPN as above and said it all worked great. However, when he tries to change the server from the panel it will not connect if he is already connected to a server. The only way he can get it to connect is to restart the machine or restart the network adapter.

    NordVPN gave him instructions to turn off IPV6 and whatever else but nothing works.

    has anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? Apparently, works no problem on Andriod phone and Ipad.

    Now, I just signed up for a trial and yup same thing with Windows 10 only.

    Changing the Server from the Panel works for me. Odd :O

    Yeah, I signed up for the 3-day trial and it works fine on all but Windows 10. Did a remote session with his PC and sure enough it connects to any server fine first time, however, you must disable then enable the network connection for NordVPN before it will work.

    Something is not releasing when it tries to reset in order to connect to a different server.

    No idea :) It's not my thing... Will need to leave it with him.

    He could also import Ovpn configs from Nord into Pritunl to make for ease of use & stability.

    Edit:
    Just tested and switching between servers works fine on me with NordVPN App on Win10.
