Like Reddit, I ditched Netflix as well. Loyalties' strength isn't what it used to be. Got a VPN, now I watch whatever I want. Thanks greedy companies, for helping me wise up.
Any tips on getting a VPN up for streaming? I ditched Netflix also and would love advice.
I got Mullivad, and just download what I want to watch.
Seconding Mullvad VPN. Barebones in terms of features and GUI, but it's the only VPN I actually trust for privacy. No emails or passwords needed to sign up, and you can pay in Monero
How does a VPN help you steam sans Netflix? You're using other streaming services and get access to more content from other countries?
I think they're referring to sites like 123movies and the like, which are usually blocked by most ISPs
are they? my ISP doesn't block sites like that... Is this a DNS thing?
Could be a US thing. There are certain sites for ripping youtube videos (etc) that aren’t accessible from here due to piracy laws and you have to VPN into Asia etc to have access.
I have not had that issue in the US.
One example (for me anyway) is inserting “pp” into any youtube video address before the .com so it’s “youtubepp.com/etc”, and opens the youtube link in another service to download it by a few different options. I get a no-access notice if I go there connected to a US vpn server, or with no vpn, but if I switch to a non-US server, it works without a problem.
sorry, specifically youtube videos, I've had that issue, but it has nothing to do with ISPs, and I have not had any site blocked because I'm in the US.
got it!
The user is advocating for piracy. Just so everybody's clear on how they replaced their Netflix subscription with a VPN.
Piracy? I didn't see any talk of ships or swords or parrots or peg-legs. I think he's just talking about downloading and probably copyright infringement, but nothing a pirate would do.
I do not stream, I download.
