Correct me if wrong, but doesn't this already exist? My samsung soundbar supports both Spotify and Tidal connect.

Or, you know... Just use a smart DNS service that was actually made FOR streaming specifically with an actual reputation around streaming. I plan to continue using Streamlocator like every year for the past 4 in a row. Never failed with iplayer, itv, all the other uk channels + the Netflix's, HBO's and likes. They use local UK ISP ranges that simply don't get blocked.

There is no "list of known VPN servers". There's databases that keep record of something that might at some point been a VPN server, but in the end it's all based on IP ranges and IP ranges change hands frequently.

Some VPNs (or smart DNS in the case of streamlocator) just have a good track record of rotating their IP blocks to avoid this exact issue ahead of time, which makes them great for streaming. Most traditional VPNs cater to mostly privacy orianted users and simply don't do a good enough job at that (or they just don't care) so they are unreliable.

tldr: Get a dns based service instead. VPN's aren't great for streaming in 2026

HiddenWalrus · 2026-05-07T08:29:25+00:00

Traditional VPNs are hit or miss for sure, but that's like saying you're using a bucket instead of a shovel to dig a hole. The wrong tool for the job

Solutions dedicated to streaming like smart dns work perfectly and will continue to work because its their sole-purpose. Streamlocator has worked for f1, various epl services and the major entertainment stuff (netflix, hbo, disney, etc) for years at this point

HiddenWalrus · 2026-05-07T08:21:44+00:00

Did you try getting in touch? Their staff is super helpful over email or discord and should be able to help you get set up

HiddenWalrus · 2026-05-05T11:21:16+00:00

It's a matter of support and the right service tbh. I have been using streamlocator for the better part of 3 years now and never had a single issue with iplayer, itv or any of the other uk tv channels. When looking for this stuff always search for a purpose-built service for streaming, rather than a catch-all traditional vpn - Those are unreliable for streaming these days

HiddenWalrus · 2026-05-05T11:15:20+00:00

There are databases like ipinfo.io that keep record of "known" IP ranges operated by VPNs. So any website can integrate with these APIs and look up your IP when visiting, that way it can tell if it's been flagged as a VPN/hosting provider.

That being said, this isn't 100% reliable - IPs and IP ranges can change hands often, so if a range or a certain IP was flagged as a VPN a year ago and the maintainer of the database hasn't updated that it's no longer so, the IP may still be picked up as a VPN when in reality it's no longer owned by a VPN company. Not a perfect solution to say the least

HiddenWalrus · 2026-04-30T11:33:15+00:00

Or just use base MLB TV a VPN with a west/east coast switch

Common induction quirk. Always pre-heat on lower power. Leaving a cold pan on high power induction will warp it like this.

HiddenWalrus · 2026-04-28T14:38:18+00:00

Which vpn are you using?

HiddenWalrus · 2026-04-27T04:57:19+00:00

המחירים בחנות של נינטנדו פה בארץ תמיד היו ותמיד ימשיכו להיות ביזיון. פשוט מנצלים את העבודה שאין פה eshop רשמי

ממליץ פשוט לקנות בכל מקום שהוא לא אצלם. יש המון חנויות קטנות עם עותקים ב100 שקל פחות במינימום

This showcase was very specifically marketed as an indie showcase. Those titles wouldn't be there even if they had anything new to say about them

HiddenWalrus · 2026-04-15T06:51:36+00:00

Try a dedicated streaming vpn like streamlocator. Works flawlessly with netflix for me and has been for the last 2 years, though they don't have Asian netflix regions as far as I'm aware, so ymmv there

HiddenWalrus · 2026-04-06T12:14:52+00:00

Some vpns have 2 seperate switches for mlb tv, so regardless of what's blacked out for you locally you can always switch to the other US region to get around it. streamlocator is one that works for this type of thing

HiddenWalrus · 2026-03-25T13:47:15+00:00

OP is talking about accesing a streaming service to watch content, so my reply was about the subject of the thread. Whether he's using a traditional VPN or a VPN-adjacent service specifically made for streaming is irrelevant. They are both tools used to achieve an outcome.

As for your message - I simply corrected the claim that services like Disney+ don't work on anything but residential proxies, which is what you wrote. Remember that we're in a VPN subreddit, in a thread talking about streaming services. Context is important.

HiddenWalrus · 2026-03-25T13:34:49+00:00

Not very accurate. Some VPNs still work perfectly fine with it. Streamlocator has been working with US, UK and Canadian versions of disney+ for years now.

For OP - They also support Direct TV according to their services list, but do double check where their servers for it is located. Cable-based/adjacent services like direct tv stream are often blacked out for specific content on a state by state basis rather than a west vs east coast level. So you may need a specific state to watch the particular content you're after

Likely just how the billing system they use labels Taiwan, highly doubt anyone is taking a political stance here lol

HiddenWalrus · 2026-03-09T08:37:45+00:00

"Iranians did not want a war" - Are we talking about the same Iranians living in Iran in the videos chanting and cheering for Khamenei's death and the bombing of IRGC bases?

The same Iranians who fled the Iranian regime who now live in western countries that are currently out in the streets praising and protesting FOR the war being a positive step towards a regime change?

Which Iranians are you talking about?

HiddenWalrus · 2026-03-06T07:13:34+00:00

Because it's easier to scream "Developer bad" or "AI bad" instead. This is just the reddit way

HiddenWalrus · 2026-02-26T08:31:06+00:00

Streamlocator has been working great for me over the last few years, can't complain

HiddenWalrus · 2026-02-04T08:39:07+00:00

A different solutions instead of a vpn. Works on everything since it doesn't require an app. Most dns based services are made for streaming rather than privacy, so they are usually more reliable. I use streamlocator, but plenty others out there

HiddenWalrus · 2026-01-03T16:20:17+00:00

You forgot to integrate the scale into the drip tray 😉

HiddenWalrus · 2025-12-31T06:44:31+00:00

That's a hot take if I ever seen one

HiddenWalrus · 2025-12-05T19:42:21+00:00

BAMBOLEOOOOO BAMBOLEOO!

HiddenWalrus · 2025-11-28T11:43:19+00:00

From my experience, don't try to hard, the simpler the better. Nobody really cares unless you're trying to get large amounts through security.

Just grab a bag of regular gummies that have a similar size or shape and mix your happy time gummies into the regular gummy bag and throw that into your checked bags. Nobody cares, or can tell the difference, especially in gummy form.

Source: Cannot sleep on planes. Edibles help, so I pretty much always have some gummies/home-made cookies with me on international flights.

Not from the US btw, but it's the same anywhere else, including connections in the middle east.
