    Hi,

    I hope this isnt against the rules, I don't see anything here anyway. I need recommendations for use of an Irish VPN in the States. I use BlackVPN for some of my UK work or when in Ireland I can connect to US Servers but BlackVPN havent any for Ireland. Can anyone suggest one? The addition of being able to watch RTE Player now and again would be good but not paramount.

    Thanks

    No help from me but I'll be interested to hear whether you find one.

    I currently use Hotspot Shield in the US and it works great for the UK. But no Ireland. :(

    Overplay.net have 3 Irish VPN servers. They also have a smart DNS service which may be of use to you depending on which services you want to use

    I use EarthVPN, they have servers in Dublin and Cork (plus the UK and loads of other places) so that covers me for RTE player and SkyGo which gets me pretty much all the TV I need. They charge $39.99 for a 12 month subscription and I've found their tech support to be very good.

    Also not sure if it's allowed but I've posted a referral link below.

    Hi All,

    I have been using Hola on chrome for Mac which works well most of the time though certain sites seem to be savvy to it and content is not available and sometime when the loads are high its useless, for example when trying to watch live sports. Also I don't like being tied to chrome. I would happily pay for a service that would allow me to browse and use any app via a VPN that would be a bit more reliable and usable on multiple devices.

    Any recommendations?

    Unblock-us.com what I use 5 bucks a month and I can watch uk and irish stuff. Wouldn't be without it now.

    EarthVPN has a program for Mac which would work. (I've only used the windows & android apps)

    Unblock-us.com no longer works for RTE or TG4. There is a service notice up on the website saying it doesn't work, but they are working on it... and they have problems too with geoblocked content on TG4 and other sites.
    UKproxyserver.com would seems to be specialist in this area. They still do TG4, but they can't handle the new RTE restrictions as of last Thursday (I tried them), though there is nothing on the website to indicate their state of service.
