VPN Question

VPNs are getting less and less effective for accessing content as the content providers are putting more effort into identifying them and shutting them down.
It isn't difficult, basically if you see more requests than normal from an IP address it is likely to be a VPN.
I have heard that DDNS is better although I haven't tried. If accessing outside of a browser (eg an App) then many providers now insist that location services is turned on or the app won't function. Hard to get around that. -
I've used TOR when desperate, but the problem is getting a IP based in the country you want, or at least accepted. Becomes very hit and miss.

Dunno if the same applies for NZ

So @Kirwan I just had a thought that I should have tried.
I have a friend who is in Tenerife today and couldn't find anywhere open to watch the first half of ABs. Thinking the UK sky app won't work overseas he used TunnelBear to VPN to UK on his phone then tethered the ipad to the phone and the sky app works on the ipad.
Tried that option for Netflix?

No, I haven’t. I will give it a try, thanks.

@bones that us right cunning! If only these punks would genuinely make content available worldwide for a decent price. Sucks that they've got tech to really hamper vpns these days

@paekakboyz yeah I haven't tried it on Netflix yet, but thinking it probably still won't work.
Oh I mean my friend. My friend hasn't tried it.

My friend can confirm it works. He's over in Oz and they don't have Better Call Saul on Netflix so he tried the tether to VPN (to UK) phone and can now watch it. Neat trick.
