What is Reddit's opinion of ProxMate?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Your friendly german neighbor here (except when we play football against each other): Try proxmate, an addon for Chrome, Firefox and Opera and install the netflix package. It will give you access to the US netflix then. Proxmate even has packages for other sites like youtube (useful when the german GEMA ruins your day), comedy central, vevo and many more. You should check it out, it really helps my Netflix binge watching style.

~~If you live outside the US you can use https://proxmate.me to watch it straight from the abc website. It's a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox. It has a free 3-day trial which is plenty of time to watch the six short episodes :)~~

Scrap that, you can watch them here: https://www.youtube.com/user/MARVEL/videos

It turns your computer into a node in the network. For example you live in the UK and use Hola Unblocker to get access to US Netflix. 2 things happen, there's a guy somewhere in the US also using Hola Unblocker and you are essentially piggy backing on his network. It works the opposite way too so someone in the US trying to gain access to UK content is piggy backing on your network. Essentially a shittier version of TOR.

So for as long as your extension is running your network is open to access by people who use Hola all over the world. They could be using it to browse Netflix or they could be looking up kiddy porn and you end up being the victim.

They also used it as spyware/adware by injecting targeted ads into your browser and selling off your history. Not a big deal if you don't care about that stuff but it's a big no no for me. I wouldn't have minded as much if they were upfront about it, but it annoys me that they tried to hide it.

It's been a long time since I've used it and I don't know if it still works that way but to me the name is garbage now and i'll never go back.

edit: https://proxmate.me/ is a good alternative, it's also open source. Doesn't mean it's secure but at least you can verify exactly what it does.

Pour Netflix France, c'est un peu mieux, mais c'est pas encore ça.

Par contre, avec un proxy (j'utilise ProxMate) ça vaut vraiment le coup, pour peu que la VO avec sous-titres anglais ne te dérange pas.

I didn't want to bring in the botnent meme, but that's what you become part of by installing it actually.

If you are looking to unblock some of the popular services that only work in specific regions, give proxmate a shot, it's open source and it works with a bunch of the popular ones by installing the packages that you want.

Proxmate is free, open source and supports a few other sites.

You could also use a VPN.

Proxmate tilbyder adgang til næsten alle landes Netflix og koster ikke alverden at benytte. Det er en browser addon til Firefox og Chrome, som nemt og simpelt lader dig tilgå både udenlandsk netflix, men også mange andre udenlandske streams (bl.a. BBC UK).

Den er ikke gratis, men det synes jeg også er fair nok, når de både leverer og servicerer. Prisen er lige nu 2 dollars for en måned og 18 dollars for et år.

ELI5 brugerguide: køb på deres hjemmeside, installer addon, klik på addons ikon i din browser, vælg channels og vælg det land og den tjeneste du vil tilgå (der er mange valgmuligheder)

ProxMate works very well... for now. In a recent statement they talk about introducing a subscription to their service, so it's possible that it won't stay free. Considering I have had some issues (occasionally having to reinstall packages and sometimes even rebooting to get it working) I'm not sure it's something I'd pay for. It depends on the price, I guess.

The upside is that it's not a VPN, but rather a ~~DNS redirection~~ "DNS-based authentication redirection", which means that they don't have to handle a load of traffic and you get (in theory) the best possible connection.

Früher habe ich (kostenlos) ProxMate benutzt. Die wurden dann im Januar gesperrt. Eine Zeit lang habe ich nichts gefunden, bis mir dann ein Kumpel erzählte, dass er ProxMate benutzt und es funktioniert.

Habe mir dann die Free Trial installiert und hat perfekt funktioniert. Jetzt Teile ich mir einen Account mit besagtem Freund (4 Geräte/Acc sind möglich).

Die Preise finde ich echt fair und die Performance stimmt auch.

Man kann auf Flixsearch einen Film-/Serientitel eingeben, dann wird einem angezeigt, in welchen Ländern man das streamen kann und dann das entsprechende Land bei Proxmate anklicken --> super easy.

Edit: Alternativ das Geld fürs Netflixabonnement in einen uploaded-account stecken.

Just FYI, you should uninstall Hola as soon as possible.

The alternative I've been using is ProxMate, and I've found it superior anyway so it's win-win. You have to download "packages" for each site you want to use it on but it works on Netflix, Youtube and many others.

Free Alternative:

I use Proxmate since Years it's Open you can even program your own plugins (if you code) and it use DNS instead of a VPN so it's as fast as your connection is.

Not 1440p though. I can recommend installing ProxMate to your browser. If it detects that a video on YouTube is blocked, it'll use an automatic proxy to get past the restriction.

I use Proxmate. It's $1 or less a month so you can't really go wrong. It also bypasses the Netflix proxy detection and is open source in case you're worried about what they do with your data.

I think a lot of the roku channels are free to watch on the internet also and you can go international like bbc, global canada, ctv, etc...

proxmate has a large channel list also - the first time I went to the webpage I got a survey pop up which seemed to lead nowhere just an fyi

There's a ton of things that I found through Reddit, but I'll list the most recent, useful things.

mTurk (for making money online)

Unblock Youtube: For the times it says it's blocked in your country.

I found out about the movie "The Man From Earth" from this site. Look it up, it's great and should be easy to find online.

ProxMate: You can watch Netflix and other channels from other countries that you normally don't get access to. You get a free trial, then it's 99 cents a month after that.

Maybe install Proxmate and Spotify/Pandora package. You won't be disappointed, I personally prefer Pandora, but both are great internet radios.

EDIT: No, don't install ProxMate, it's paid now and bloody awful.

I'm guessing they are talking about VPNs but most of them are paid. I also know of an extension called proxmate but since it's also free I don't know if it's any less shady than Hola.

Je ne sais pas si tu t'en es sorti depuis, mais une fois le package Netflix installé, et l'addon ProxMate activé, il va automatiquement te faire passer par les serveurs proxy quand tu iras sur netflix.com

Il aura fallu que je redémarre mon navigateur la première fois après installation si je me souviens bien.

Edit : en fait pour répondre à ta question (désolé d'avoir répondu à coté ^^) oui, les serveurs sont aux USA pour ce package. Quand tu vas sur la page d'un package, tu as le pays du serveur, ici c'est bien précisé USA : https://proxmate.me/package/53106f2ad05c469ded0001c5/

Try ProxMate , its free, lightweight, and has a package system. You can download a package for major sites (spotify, netflix, youtube) and it'll automatically unblock region protected content. Give it a whirl :)

How do you guys still use Proxmate on Netflix?

For me it's blocked and thats also what Proxmate says: https://proxmate.me/general_issues/

Fucking hate Netflix, the german content is so lame. Hope Amazon is going to kick their asses for this geoblocking stupid shit.

To get it to work for me, I had to download a chrome plugin called Proxmate. From there, I had to install their youtube package, and it worked fine for me. Hopefully that helps you out too, because it's a pretty solid album.

Free and Open source, which means that anyone can check the code in order to see if there is a catch: proxmate.

https://proxmate.me/ (Always download your programs from the official website)

Edit:

I don't know if it does everything you need, but I use it for Netflix US (I live in Canada), and it works perfectly. You just might have to restart your browser.

Puoi usare ProxMate, se i siti che ti interessano sono supportati.

Se hai un minimo di conoscenze in ambito unix, puoi farti tutto in casa, tranne ovviamente l'end point per cui puoi benissimo usare servizi tipo bluevm (va bene anche il piano blue 0.5 da 7.50$/anno).

Il vantaggio di queste soluzioni è che mascherano solo le richieste dns, poi vieni servito direttamente senza incanalare tutto il traffico in un tunnel di qualche tipo.

Aw crap, hold on i'll try and get you some mirrors or video/song names.
Song name is "Butthole Surfers - Dust Devil" and there is only one video of the Isle of man TT, it's called "Faster, Closer to the Edge"

Without making the two videos into a downloadable file, i have only one option which would be using an addon called Prox Mate. https://proxmate.me/

Dich um entschuldigung. :(
