The Daleisphere: How to Use Hotspot Shield to Get U.S.-only iPhone Apps

  • Dave Zatz · 6 months ago
    I tried to do similar to stream the BBC's video app from the UK and couldn't pull it off as my VPN service provider didn't enumerate all the settings. Hm, maybe I'll try again with a different host.

    I presume you weren't using Hotspot Shield's servers than Dave? Interesting idea. I presume you had the BBC video app some how and then were trying to use it in the U.S.?

    It wasn't Hotspot shield - it was a different service which I paid for, but they bury their connectivity details into a Windows executable/connection manager to prevent you from abusing it. I want to use that VPN connection on my iPhone to download the BBC app and then stream the video. I didn't research/fight it long, tho. Gave up.

    I appreciate this. I have heard about it and hadn't done myself yet. I am going to get it downloaded onto my phone

    Excellent. I'll be keen to know which U.S.-only apps you are successful at downloading with this trick.

    Ahhhh, this does not work for me and I don't know of anything I'm doing wrong. Could you post a set up video on You Tube? That would be helpful.
    Thanks.
