[A340 2]

Any chance there will be a server for Australia in the planning soon?

what does georouting mean?

That's a good question, what does "georouting only" mean? I am trying to watch a TV show that ABC network Australia's iviewer only makes available inside Australia. So I guess that means I need a server that they will think is in Australia.

Georouting servers, rerouting servers, or all servers you cannot directly connect to, are servers used to offer a double-hop like feature for certain supported sites and services, mostly streaming services, to make them available to watch regardless from the server you are connected to. If you want to watch something from the ABC network, you just open it in your browser. Behind the scenes, if you are connected to some german server for example and you view an ABC resource, your request will not be sent directly to ABC but instead to a rerouting server, in this case it's AU2. Sent from there, ABC may register your view as coming from AU, unlocking the content.

 

For this feature to work, you have to use AirDNS. Using the AirVPN client with its default settings will most probably force your computer to use AirDNS. If you're not using the AirVPN client, you have to make sure for yourself.

Hello !

And just to compliment Mr.Giggles, this is the list of supported sites, for the feature he mentioned.
