How to get around sites blocked by Virgin? - Linzie - 04-03-2014 05:41 AM
I watch a lot of US shows online as we always have to wait so bloody long to get them here & with social media being what it is you can't escape spoilers but virgin have blocked Project Free TV which is what I used to watch through. Is there a way or another site I can use that isn't blocked. I have tried the proxy Hide My Ass but to no avail. Please help lol

Use a VPN or Use a browser called Tor.

Proxy servers will allow you to do this by creating a connection to a website through a third party server rather than directly to the server. A common and popular proxy server is Tor, which comes with its own specially configured browser.

I’d try an offshore VPN http://www.unspyable.com

Buy a good VPN.
Whatever you do don't fall for the bogus review on the so called best VPN review sites. They are all scams where the best reviewed VPN's are the ones that pay the review site the most money. Even the customer reviews on these sites are phoney.
Also fancy VPN sites with instant gratification and setup are subject to getting hacked, like purevpn did last month. Customer emails and names were stolen and used by the hackers.
Stick with a company that emphasizes security and network protection.
