Any chance the global mode region switcher will allow us to watch ABC iview, sbs etc from Australia anytime?

In my experience no free proxy (including global mode) works with any geo-blocked Australian site, though some claim to. The reason may have to do with the expense of setting up Australian-based servers. This is why I finally subscribed to Unotelly, which works brilliantly. With the Geekzone discount it only costs three or four dollars a month (on an annual basis) and in my opinion is well worth it.

So March has gone, and we're a quarter of the way through April, but the region switcher is still MIA.

C'mon orcon, deliver on your promises.

The Global Mode region switching feature will launch in March free-of-charge to Orcon customers.

They both work great for me. Well worth the cost. You can get a free trial for a week or so to check it out. That is what I did.

March, April, May....
Come on Orcon. Seems they're not really committed to this, I wonder why?

Still no region switcher?? Come on Orcon get in there!

Would be great to have an Android app that switches regions and reboots your modem automagically. Would make family IT support way easier!
