[QUOTE="tothbros, post: 886557, member: 388269"] hi, in the last couple of months, there have been some changes and sky started blocking some vpn and dns services (ip addresses used by these services). there have been discussions of this subject in the following topics: [url]http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/skygo-blocked-with-vpn.160705/[/url] [url]http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/sky-box-office-using-broadband-callback-from-outside-uk.159249/[/url] [url]http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/sky-demand-outside-the-uk.158732/[/url] [url]http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/skygo-blocked-with-vpn.160705/[/url] [url]http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/sky-on-demand.161060/[/url] as for overplay's smart dns, simply changing to another dns server might solve your problem. contact overplay for advice. if you want a long term solution, subscribe to a vpn provider that gives you a dedicated uk ip address (not shared). i recommend purevpn: good speeds, reliable service. its 75 USD per year (50 for shared ip, 75 for dedicated). also, you can try configuring the dns servers on your router, rather than the sky box. this way, you do not have to do "manual configuration" in the network section of the sky box. use DHCP (on), and just connect to the router that has smart dns setup. plus, there is another vpn/dns company, unotelly. they do not support sky boxes yet (on demand). but there is an open ticket on their support site, requesting this. if enough people show interest, they will add this feature. [url]http://help.unotelly.com/support/discussions/topics/295178[/url] like it, vote for it! they are otherwise a great company, their dns service is very versatile and customisable. good luck!
