Using nested VPN for netflix

[onetwofree 0]

I would like to know if it is a bad idea to use the Hola unblocker as chrome plugin only to use netflix ?

The VPN connection is contained within chrome only so that should not create any issue with airvpn, correct ?

Hello!

 

Well, provided you're okay with the risks and it works, sure you can use it, why not. Especially if AirVPN can't get through to Netflix. Although I must say, perhaps you'd be better served with torrenting then, as that would really make use of your AirVPN sub. But I don't know what you mean with "contained within chrome" - because AirVPN is fine regardless; it just can't help you, if you choose to compromise your own system with less-than-honest software. Was there a particular kind of issue with AirVPN, which you had in mind? .

Thank you for the reply

 

My issue with airvpn is that we cannot access netflix I love airvpn and fully support them for more than a year now.

 

What I meant by "contained within chrome" is that it is a plugin so as far as I understand it it would only affect traffic coming out of chrome ? so the security threat should be limited ? Don't get me wong I really don't want to install hola...

 

How can hola work ? and not AirVPN ?

 

What do you mean by torrenting ? Can you please explain me ? Is there a way to make airvpn work with netflix ?

You're welcome.

 

Netflix is no longer officially supported by AirVPN (if it ever really was), due to Netflix blocking VPNs to such a high degree that it's very uncertain when you can or can't access Netflix' content. Sometimes switching to other Air servers works, sometimes not. But it's limited what Air can do.

 

Plugins can have a whole host of security issues - so it's hard to say really. You could always experiment with whatever software you wish to try, in a Virtual Machine. I wouldn't say the security threat is "limited" - I mean, many attacks come through the browser, of which your computer can be severely compromised.

 

What I meant by torrenting was that you could go to sites like thepiratebay.com or extratorrent.cc and download whatever movies or content you want to see. Using AirVPN, this is possible, as you'll be protected. You'd need a torrent client, such as qBittorent and to do some reading about it. It's called "piracy" by the pessimists, but "file-sharing" by the optimists . It's just an alternative, so that your VPN sub isn't wasted just because Netflix decides to block paying customers. This way, you won't need Netflix at all, but can instead watch things for free. The downside is that the quality of the downloads isn't always that high (initially at least, for new releases) and that there's a potentially higher risk of malware if you're not careful.

I am not using VPN for torrenting copyrighted material. I am using a VPN because I care about privacy and the right to anonymity. I am tired to see the net sold to advertising agency tracking our every moves and bulk data collections...

 

I don't torrent because I believe in paying to support the industry so I like subscription services and I am a paying customer however the current geo-restriction situation is blunt stupid and actually hurts the creative industry by restricting the audience so I think it is fair to get around them.

 

Is there a way to route airvpn through a tor network ? I tried to use tor browser but turns out silverlight is not recognized with the tor browser and also not a fan of silverlight..
