jmh:33coupe:jmh: I still can't decide. I'm hesitant because at the moment I can't use a DNS service without DDNS because I'm with Flip (changes ip every 4-5 minutes). But I can't get the DDNS to work consistently. The support has been very good. They even remote accessed my laptop to set it up for me, but it is not reliable. The vpn works great for US but was very poor for UK (streaming iplayer) and I got better speeds with the free hola app, which I would prefer not to use.
I'm changing isp to one that offers a fixed ip, so the problem should be resolved. Would like to know the vpn was up to speed (I think it's still beta).
Maybe I'm being too picky.
Hmmmm.....
Are you saying this won't work with flip?
The DNS on its own won't work with flip (same for the other dns providers too). You need to use the ddns option and use a third party ip provider like no-ip. I managed to get it working last night by setting up the ddns on my modem. This seemed to work better than changing the settings on my laptop. The vpn should work. I just found it a bit slow for UK servers.
Worth trying the free trial.
Thanks for the reply. That all sounds a bit too technical for me. If I get a chance i might try the trial tho.
Cheers
