Accessing US tv shows using Boxee Box
« on: September 19, 2011, 06:39:32 PM »

i am a total noob when it comes to VPN. I own a Boxee Box and i am wondering if anyone managed to connect to Hulu, Netflix etc via BolehVPN on the Boxee Box. Thanks

Does this Boxee box have any VPN support? I believe it'd take a bit of work, and you'd need to use a  DD-WRT router, configure that to use our servers before you'd be able to get Hulu on your Boxee box.

the Boxee Box does have a VPN support and it requires the following:
1) Connection Type : PPTP (this one cannot be changed)
2) Server
3) Account
4) Password

i am now connected to US-SurfingStreamingTCP on my Mac and i am able to stream content from Hulu. You think you have any idea bro?

Edited: When i launch the Boxee Mac app, I am able to see the US shows.

Sadly we don't have a PPTP VPN to offer.Use the UDP instead of TCP on your Mac, it should be faster.

How is your Boxee connecting to the internet? Directly to a wireless router?

ok, i will reconnect with the UDP later.
owh.. looks like there is no way for the Boxee Box to connect to US content then. I am connecting the Boxee box using wired connection to the router. It has wireless but i'm using wired.
