It's good to see this matter being picked up by the mainstream media but... I'm not terribly knowledgeable in this area, but I wondered if they've made some significant errors in their reporting (nothing surprising with journalists not understanding and/or reporting accurately on technology issues!).
There is in the article a constant (and singular) reference to the use of VPNs for these purposes. Now, while I understand some people do go down this route, I thought services like Unblock US and Unotelly weren't VPNs but proxy services.
Are there significant differences between the two, or am I just being a (potentially ignorant) pedant? My reading of this article is that it's quite misleading and doesn't give those potentially interested in doing this accurate information on the options available - and that setting up a proxy service is probably easier and certainly cheaper than a VPN.
Your thoughts??
