    http://www.unotelly.com/unodns/
    https://www.overplay.net/

    And of course, is it possible to make one ourselves?

    I would love to be able to run something like this, SSH / VPN all work nice for my PC's but would love to get a UK IP for the Xbox / PS3 .....

  • May I bump this for the initial reason? - need smallest UK VPS for using BBC iPlayer.

    At the moment that would be http://lowendspirit.com/ (3€ a year!)

    It has ipv6 only but a shared ipv4 for outgoing connections. You can just use it as a proxy but can't run services on it. So thats perfect for an extremely cheap iPlayer proxy..

    And btw. I thought 100gb of traffic isn't sufficient..now I think it is. I never use more than ~50gb for watching and downloading stuff from BBC

  • Wow, thanks! Could you maybe share some details of how you use it, tech-wise?

    @vaviloff there is a support forum at http://forum.lowendspirt.com which has an OpenVPN Auto installer script, it is very simple to use :)

    Sure. I use:

    https://github.com/K-S-V/Scripts/wiki
    +
    https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/hds-link-detector/

    and then created a batch script on windows to run that script with the correct manifest url. I also use the proxy-parameter in KSV script, so that I only need to create a ssh connection, that creates a local proxy and then click the shortcut et voila it works in VLC.

    But to use it in a browser I would just suggest to create a connection in putty (Dynamic port forwarding) and then put the information for the SOCKS 5 proxy in your browser.

    I personally do not like VPNs at all because you are forced to route everything through it.
