What is Reddit's opinion of OverPlay?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I would seriuosly recommend OverPlay. You can set the Smart DNS to 'trick' Netflix to think you're in the US while simultaneously making RTE think you're in Ireland, BBC/ITV think you're in the UK and so on with a lot of online services.

It is very quick and easy to change the country where you want Netflix/etc to think you are should you wish to temporarily watch something exclusive to the UK Netflix for example.

/r/soccerstreams is a good place. There will almost always be Chelsea game there and usually in very good quality. If you want to do it legally you could go to Premier League Pass and pay about £9 a month to watch every Premier League game in HD, although you'll need to use something like SmartDNS to access that if you aren't in New Zealand.

I use this here at college to get around uni bandwidth limiting - it's made specifically for people who want to watch internet TV. You get access to all the server countries with the one subscription. They've got 48 hours money back so if it doesn't work, they'll cancel it for you.

Use a VPN like Overplay, then watch it live on BBC One via BBC's iPlayer.

Alternatively, you can watch highlights with commentary on Sky News. They stream live on their website, but it's not as good as the BBC feed.

If you get SmartDNS you can subscribe to Premier League Pass by pretending you're from New Zealand, you can also sign up for bein which might be a cheaper deal, anyone know if it has all games in english? Looks like it works with Star Sports too.

I agree completely with you. Reading a book is cool because it's an exercise into stepping into the mind of one person - the author. However, when it comes to actually gathering information about the world, I think that video does provide a more efficient medium. Television production is the work of many minds rather than just one, and the video footage is taken from events in the real world.

By the way, if you like the BBC, and yet live outside of the UK... it's possible to watch programs on the Iplayer using cheap monthly services such as the DNS service that Overplay.net provides. The science and history programming from the BBC, much of which comes from the Open University, is second to none.

1 high-security, unlimited bandwidth OpenVPN endpoint via tunnelr for privacy. ($7/month)

48 low-security PPTP endpoints via overplay.net for international media streaming like Hulu, Netflix, BBC, etc. ($10/month)

here is the blog post https://www.overplay.net/blog/overplay-adds-indian-vpn-server

and here you can see Indian server in the connection software http://imgur.com/l5bTa

Also, they have a 48hours money back guarantee. Nothing to lose.

this is the server IP 115.124.104.113

Hmmm. You might be able to accomplish this with a DNS proxy, SmartDNS from OverPlay

https://www.overplay.net/en/products/smartdns

This would fix the Netflix issue pretty easily as well as services like iplayer and iTV.

However I was under the impression that roku was hard coded dns.

You could use your Mikrotik to intercept dns and redirect it to your Mikrotik, which then your Mikrotik would use the SmartDNS.

All of this is much easier and lighter than a VPN.

If you absolutely a VPN, then they also offer a combo option too.

I use OverPlay, they appear to be the best for a lot. It may be best to use the DNS function when signing up as if you use a VPN, your card will be declined. It's $200 for the year but do a test month at $25 to make sure it's all good first.

If you have access to the DNS settings of your router, try Overplay's smart DNS service. It's cheap and causes no slow downs. The only annoyance I've encountered is that if your ISP constantly changes your IP address, you won't be able to visit certain sites without relogging in to Overplay.

I used SmartDNSProxy and was pretty satisfied with the service.

I am using Overplay now though. For some unknown reason I couldn't use the Android App of PL Pass using SmartDNS. Also Overplay let's you select the country you want to watch for channels such as Netflix

For those outside the UK. What worked for me is acquiring a SMART DNS subscription at overplay.net. ($4,95 per month but well worth it)

Next follow the instructions at: https://www.overplay.net/setup/smartdns.php (It's really a dummy guide)

If you go to the BBC iplayer. Select Wales as your region and you can watch it. Even better this will also enable you to watch TV3 Ireland and ITV so you can watch any match of the RWC.

I haven't personally used Smart DNS or VPN on mobile but I know Smart DNS can be used on phone with Wi-Fi (not possible on mobile data as far as I know). Smart DNS can be used on most devices that use a internet connection (link to one Smart DNS service's supported devices). For example, I use it also on my Samsung Smart TV so that I can access US Netflix.

First off to use our service you do need internet access. Our SmartDNS service allows you to watch video content from online channels available around the globe. Normally video channels hosted in different countries are blocked so that only users from the host country can view the site, this blocking of other countries is called geo-restricting or geoblock. Our smartDNS service allows you to bypass the geoblocks and view the online channel. For example, you could use our service to watch the UK Netflix library from the United states if you set the Netflix region to UK in our JetSwitch control panel, that is of course if you have a Netflix subscription. We offer access to many channels around the world. For a complete channel list, look here

I agree with you on the soda bread. Mine came out of the oven about 9:00pm last night and it was half gone by the time I went to bed. Just one more slice. Sure, while I'm up, I might was well cut a second slice....and repeat.

I know what you mean about the chips at Eamonn's - I think they are going for a high-end chipper rather than your local, and use the "propper" two step frying process. I'm willing to overlook that for my curry chips fix:).

What proxy do you use? I have OverPlay which is good most of the time, but it's not so good for sports. I know it's asking a lot to stream sports but I got spoiled watching BBCs Olympics coverage over Tunnel Bear in high quality.

I used this last year.

http://www.en.beinsports.net

and accessed it with

https://www.overplay.net/blog/overplay-smartdns

Costs about 130 euro for the year, last year.

edit: To add currency

I use a VPN (https://www.overplay.net/) to watch F1 on BBC iplayer, starts at $4.95/month. Best investment I made for the price of a beer or two :)

The only issue is to avoid spoilers for the half or so GPs which are not shown live...

So here I am in Canada, and.. this video isn't allowed.. in Canada.

edit I'm an idiot, didn't realize it is a picture....

seriously, lowendbox.com get a cheap VPS, preferably KVM or something that you can load device drivers into, setup an OpenVPN box, and enjoy. Or piggyback on something like overplay.net, and enjoy the internet the way it was meant to be, before corporations & lawyers started to screw with it... sigh I can't wait for the UN to really make a mess of it.

The only decent provider I can find is OverPlay. As far as I can see they are a good company, I haven't read all of their terms yet but they talk about logging in their FAQ section:

"Do you keep logs of websites I visit?"

"No! Honestly, we have no interest in which web sites you visit. It doesn't affect our business and so, as long as it's legal, feel free to visit wherever you like. We only log connection times and data usage totals, and they are only stored for a limited time. Please consult our Terms of Service for more details."

Not spam, I'm a human: For situations like this, the best workaround I've found is called Overplay. They offer a fast, effective VPN solution for all the major content-producing countries in the world.

The extra value that worldwide access is easily worth the $10 price of admission. One caveat: DO NOT TORRENT THROUGH IT.
