Netflix and XBMC out of US in Apple TV 2g - vmgp - 2011-02-18 Is there any way or trick I can use to play netflix and xbmc movies outside US? I am using an Apple TV 2g and it works great with the jailbreak and xbmc but I can´t see a lot of channels, because it tell me I am out US. Thank you. - Bomans - 2011-02-18 You need a VPN, but that's not possible on ATV2 atm. - piranha - 2011-02-18 vmgp Wrote:Is there any way or trick I can use to play netflix and xbmc movies outside US?

Currently I use second router with DD-WRT that establishes VPN connection to USA. I just specify the gateway of ATV2 to be that router, and then all packets go thru VPN tunnel. - vmgp - 2011-02-18 piranha Wrote:Currently I use second router with DD-WRT that establishes VPN connection to USA. Thank you very much Is a normal router? like Link Sys router? Do you know were can I see the steps to configure the network? - piranha - 2011-02-18 I used Buffallo router, which has DD-WRT preinstalled, but I guess any that can be flashed with DD-WRT would work. I use OverPlay as VPN provider and they have good instructions and support (in case of troubles): https://www.overplay.net/blog/using-a-dd-wrt-router-with-overplay - vmgp - 2011-02-18 piranha Wrote:I used Buffallo router, which has DD-WRT preinstalled, but I guess any that can be flashed with DD-WRT would work. Thanks this will help me alot. - vmgp - 2011-02-23 Hi I connect my apple tv 2g to the internet through a bridge in my laptop and it works great but when I start my VPN on my laptop to use netflix the apple tv stops receiving bytes it is connected but it doesn't open nothing. Any ideas? - procrastinator - 2011-02-23 Just in case you haven't found it already, check compatability of your router with DD-WRT here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database - vmgp - 2011-02-23 Thank you But I´m trying to use my laptop with a bridge instead of buy the router (that would be 2 step). Is there a problem on my configuration that when I turn on the VPN on my laptop the atv stops receiving bytes and on the laptop the connection status looks just normal as the VPN was turned of. - kealan - 2011-02-23 vmgp Wrote:Thank you I've been trying to get this working for me for ages. From what I've found out, if you are using a Mac as your laptop, Mac's won't allow you to share a VPN connection through internet sharing - I think Windows computers will allow you to share a VPN connection. If anyone else out there has a solution to this without having to buy a new router or a way to circumvent the Mac refusal to share a VPN connection I would also love to hear. - vmgp - 2011-02-23 I´m using win vista and it looks like the vpn connection doesn´t go to the atv because the laptop gets the new connection by the vpn but the apple tv just lose the download power when the vpn connection is on. - vmgp - 2011-02-24 kealan Wrote:I've been trying to get this working for me for ages.

It looks like the only way to do this is by a DD-WRT router so I think, I will buy one, because the bridge idea doesn't work and no one knows how to do it. We need a VPN software to be installed at the apple tv just like the one iphone has. - kealan - 2011-02-24 vmgp Wrote:It looks like the only way to do this is by a DD-WRT router so I think, I will buy one, because the bridge idea doesn't work and no one knows how to do it. Exactly. A VPN option on the ATV2 would be ideal so it would be easy to turn on and off. Anyone out there know of anyone working on such a thing? - motd2k - 2011-02-24 It shouldn't be too difficult to get OpenVPN on to the ATV2 to be honest. Will try to get a look when I get chance. - vmgp - 2011-02-25 motd2k Wrote:It shouldn't be too difficult to get OpenVPN on to the ATV2 to be honest. Will try to get a look when I get chance. This would be great..... A lot of people will use this and will be very pleased. I have just try to make my laptop a hot spot with ad-hoc connection but it didn't work, this make me think that the only way to make this work is with a DD-WRT router. |
