gmac Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Like the sound of this Expatshield but there's not a version for Mac, anything similar (and free) out there that anyone can recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloFlyer Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Yeah, I'll be needing a mac version soon, with luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_smith237 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I need a MAC equivalent too - any ideas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I don't know about Apple stuff but a quick Google search found this. It doesn't give you a UK IP address though, but a US. They also have free versions for Win7, WinXP, Android and other btw. It doesn't break any speed records though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I just tried it here (Pattaya, 3BB) - no problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Thanks for the reply, Phil. I still cannot connect to any of the three websites. Is it possible that TOT have blocked them? FYI I asked a mate to try to connect from his laptop earlier today in an adjacent condo using TOT and he couldn't . Message coming up now is "connection timed out". I tried all 3, and 2 of them came up with a connection error at first attempt. I reloaded the pages and then they came up ok. I think there may be a routing problem to wherever they are located. When something is explicitly blocked you usually get a message in Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Can I do anything to correct the problem? Nothing I can think off, other than get another ISP perhaps. Or as a work around, use a different VPN service. I suggested an alternative in post #34, you could give that a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkmick Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Works a treat. Has anyone been able to watch the BBC iPlayer via something like WDTV Live? (if this is possible at all). If I could watch the output on my TV rather that a PC then I'd be really happy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyharriss Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) OK, now how do you get rid of all the ads this brings with it?? Discussion of software or other methods to block advertisements is not allowed as per the forum rules Our sponsor StrongVPS offer a VPN solution without ads. tried the forum sponsor and to be honest what a waste of money.. SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW Just an opinion Edited April 14, 2011 by mightyharriss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negreanu Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) http://usvideo.org/ The best way to stream major video content in Thailand. Far Far faster than any VPN as no 3rd party server - Stream is direct to your computer. The list of compatible devices is also out of date for example Hulu Plus also works on ipad.

Phil Conners Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Expatshield cant get me into Facebook here in China... homepage is ok, but no further. Suggestions? Discussing how to break laws is against Thaivisa rules. This topic is balancing on the edge of what is allowed. Please help us keep this topic open by staying on the right side of the line.

Tywais Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 tried the forum sponsor and to be honest what a waste of money.. SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW Not sure what you mean by slow. I use StrongVPN with no problems. You have many server locations to choose from and their tutorial says to find the fastest one for your purposes. They even have a speed test button next to the server location to check it. Too many variables involved to declare the service itself is slow - ISP, routing, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
