Does anyone have a recommendation for a VPN with Australian IPs? Also if it works with Netflix that would be great also.
Someone here recently was suggesting getting a VPN in order to watch Australia Plus TV. My understanding is that Australia Plus TV is not available in Australia, so I can't see how connecting to an Australian server would do anything.
I think you're referring to me, but I'm not sure. Just in case, I wasn't suggesting watching Australia Plus over a VPN, I was suggesting using the FreeviewFV App over a VPN. See here: http://www.freeview.com.au/freeviewfv/
Android or iOS ?I just downloaded the Opera browser that has a built in VPN. Seems to work well but I haven't done much with it but I'm thinking that may be the wave of the future.
I have to disagree with you JC. In Brisbane I watch ABC24 which is the same as Australia Plus, in Papua.I thought we more or less covered the issue of sites like Netflix blocking ISP addresses (and various VPNs) to get around geo-blocking. It is still a game of whack-a-mole and likely to continue until…?
I’ve been using IpVanish for a couple of years and find it works well for me. Currently, it has 58 servers in Sydney and two in Melbourne. I’m not interested in Netflix, etc, so can’t say if it works for that. Just like I don’t know if any VPNs these days can do that. (Some did/do for a while, then don’t, then do again.)

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that ABC24 is the same as Australia Plus. I already have the latter so it doesn't matter to me.I have to disagree with you JC. In Brisbane I watch ABC24 which is the same as Australia Plus, in Papua.

OK I stand corrected. I must have watched AFL on CH 7.Eh? Are you sure? ABC24 is just the 24 hour news channel isn't it? Australia Plus has got AFL on it. There's no AFL on any ABC channels.
Here's ABC News (a.k.a. ABC 24): http://www.abc.net.au/tv/epg/#/channel/ABCN
and here's Australia Plus: http://tv.australiaplus.com/tvguide/print/day/indonesia
...Following their guidance, I downloaded ExpressVPN, and that worked great with Netflix.
Agreed! NordVPN is working fine. I did use PIA before but unable to watch it in US then I switched to NordVPN after doing some research. Especially, its SmartPlay feature is perfect for streaming.I also use Nord successfully for Netflix and the like.
I have something called YonderTV which works great for watching US sports, but I'm not sure if it would be any help with Australian sports.
