I can on edge, but I'm still having difficulties. I am trying to get my computer ready to use a VPN so that I can watch shows from the UK (and possibly Australia too).
I already have the VPN provider picked out, now I just need to get flash squared away. I know flash was giving me troubles the last time I tried to use it months ago. I will have to see about updating it and making sure I can use it for Opera...
Technology isn't my strong point...

The reason that you are considering a VPN is obviously because the sites that you have in mind are restricted to their own country, such as BBC iPlayer is restricted to British access.
I would be surprised if using a VPN would actually work because I suspect that such sites will not accept traffic from a VPN.

It is worth a try at the very least. I have picked out a company with a 30 day money back guarantee so that if it doesn't work for me, I won't lose any money because of it.
The VPN I am going to use has already been tested for the BBC Iplayer. There is always the chance it might not work regardless, but it's worth the risk for me.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I would assumed that it would not work, but I may very well be wrong. I hope that I am mistaken and you are successful.

@Asylum Thank You.. I hope so to.
I can get some programming from Britain through Hulu or on youtube, but not everything...

Not really... I mean companies have the power to block VPN's if they want..
I would say it's somewhat immoral, but as far as I am aware it's legal...

It was giving me problems at one point also. Good luck getting it set up. What are you going to watch? English history I will wager.

@celticeagle My family likes to joke that when I get the chance to go to England, they'll never see me again..

You wouldn't be wrong. English History will be one of the things I'll watch... but I won't limit myself there either...

I am going with ExpressVPN as it seems to be the most recommended for using it to watch overseas t.v..
I believe you even recommended it to me at one time?
If I have any trouble I will let you know. Thanks.

@ScribbledAdNauseum express does seem to be the best of the lot...I remember many sites saying the same thing.
