Basically VPN server is a middleman between you and the site you connect to. The player gets the server's IP, sees that it's un the UK, thinks "OK" and starts sending video. Then the server forwards it to you, encrypted.

Virtual Private Network. Someone in another country has a VPN Server, and with a client you log via VPN using this server into his network and use the Internetgateway, as if you would be physically connected in the regarding Network.
Is there a simple way to get around these pesky videoplayers that prevent you from watching a video just because I'm not in the U.K.?
Wish I could see it on 15/70. Luckily if I have to go digital it's nice to see it on Imax Laser
Only drawback is that it's on a dome and is thus warped, but I take what I can get these days.
Seeing it at the Tech Museum in San Jose on film, in 2D! (Thank goodness they're not equipped for digital or 3D! I also saw the Dark Knight trilogy there earlier this year.)

Anybody in need of stuff from usenet can PM me and I might be able to help. I am testing a french service that has a retention rate of ~2600days that I already verified to be true and the speed is decent
Visited today the new OT forum; its design is not bad, but my nickname has been modified, from _,,,^..^,,,_ to _^..^_ - I want my commas back! 
Also they are not using regular sale channels or marketing, to small down the additional costs for the end-buyer.
MAybe that way they could only give away as much invites to use, as big as the production volume is. The system is quite weird, yes, and sometimes it is annoying, if someone waits for an invite some month...
Oh, I see. Kinda weird system, you'd think they want to sell as much as possible, why limit their customers?
I just thought that maybe here is someone who might want to buy the phone, and still needs an invite.
OnePlus is the producer, and it is their second mobile Phone. Each one who bought one, gets sharable invites for others to purchase the phone.
The Invite is to order the OPT at their Shop. The OnePlus Two is a mobile phone. The producer uses an invite system.
Someone from Europe in need of an invite to but a OnePlus Two? Maybe I have a shareable Invite to Pass along.
You guys need to be posting in this thread at OT:http://originaltrilogy.com/announcement/Forum-software-bug-reports-and-feature-requests/id/45893
From Jay:It can take days for DNS updates to propagate completely. They just have to wait for their ISP to update their server (or switch to a public DNS).
Actually going into the settings and changing it to OT Old Skool helped a bit. Where can we find thread subscriptions?
We did have to ban a bunch of German IP's a single troll was using to cause trouble, but nobody reported access issues in the weeks since then.
We did have a open test period where everyone could access the test site. The server may still be propragating in some places. If there are still access issues in the next day, let me know or report it to Jay.
@DoomBot. Indeed... but Fanres is way cooler anyway and the layout is spot on
I'm not sure about the new layout either. We've been used to the old one for so long, guess we have no choice but to adapt.
EDIT: It sucks. I can't see anything with that new layout it's pretty awful...
It's working for me now and without any proxy. New flat design layout... interesting.
Strange. At home it works. Mobile it die not work, yet. Maybe it is an ISP think, where the (still) refer to.
OT is working when I use a US proxy... So apparently it's not working for anyone with European IP. I wonder what's up with that. Is that intentional, SilverWook?
it's up for me (has been for a few hours) and I'm still not sure if I like the new layout. edit: i don't like the new layout as it seems sloppy
Nice to see you here again Andrea Are things starting to get better for you?
Are things starting to get better for you?it depends by the fact that the black ones are "out of standard" (read: not using the dafault characters)
I noticed that a lot of them are still there.... I vote for the black ones but please change the "big cheese" which is this one": D"
...it was due to the script upgrade, I guess... maybe I should start a poll, to know if I have to restore the black emoticons (that, by the way, are still "alive" somehow, I guess... 
)
)boo, everyone uses them and, in film terms, (LOL) they remind me of a DNR'ed to death mess, while the other ones are a 35mm IB Tech scan... except for the "big cheese" smile-that was atrocious. But, whatever works
Because yellow is oh so much better. 
Frankly i hated the ohers and never got used to them.
Frankly i hated the ohers and never got used to them.damn, just when i started liking our emoticons, you go and change them the only one I had an issue with was what showed up for this: 
...it gave the forum a "unique" quality, why did u change it back?

Sent you an e-mail, let's communicate that way. PMs aren't working. Actually, the only part of the forum working properly is this shoutbox...
Yep! Big problems with posts and messages, but I presume you have noted it... tried to switch PHP from 5.4 to 5.5, nothing... upgraded MyBB to 1.8.6, nothing.. HELP!!!
Well, writting has always been a passion of mine and, according to all of my English teachers when I was in school, should have been something I pursue in life. A 10-12 page essay for homework was never a problem
sorry guys... apparently there is a limit of 65536 characters in a post, when starting a new thread... Thanx to Feallan for helping me figure out that my post was too long
Yeah, haven't seen much of you around lately Andrea and I hope all is going well for you
Generally your user group can't post new threads, you need 5 posts on your account to be promoted to Registered group - which can post threads. We've set it this way some time ago, because we've been invaded by spam bots.
I mean I'm trying to post in http://forum.fanres.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=27 but I can't - how come?
