    Default VPN, or?...

    Hi everyone. I'm from Eastern Europe so my traffic on SM sucks and I need to disguise my location. Using VPN services like HotSpot shield isn't of much help because it cuts down my connection speed and increases ping terrifically (because I have to share the server with a thousand other users, I think?). Does anyone know a service that has premium (less populated) VPN servers in GB or the USA to offer?

    I don't think Streamate allows your location to be hidden with a VPN.

    I know some hosts got permission to get a more stable connection with a VPN but hiding your location may not work with that.

    I`m curious how can you disguise ur location on sm with a VPN.Is not like they detect ur ip and automatically change ur location ,right?U say u r in EE,changing ur display country to U.S.A does not help?It would be great if using a VPN would change location on sm but I doubt.

    I just don't have USA as an option. I have my country and a few closest neighbors. If I choose a British VPN server, I can choose GB, NZ or AU.

    Hiding my location while using a VPN has always worked for me, but it's the connection speed's that's been an issue. I'm not sure about the reason and thought maybe finding a VPN provider that offers vpn servers one only shares with like 20 users would help.

    If you think about it, Hotspot Shield's yearly subscription is $29.95 for a year of premium service. IMO it's a pretty good deal. I've used it personally, and if it'll help you attract business into your SM profile, I say invest into it.

    If you have a pretty good connection, with the Elite service you shouldn't have any problems.

    I used it for a year, but it seemed to cut my speed down and mess with my placement. Go figure.

    Were you using the free version or the paid one? Because my experience with the paid one was much better than that.

    The paid one, but I'm not sure if it got slower because of them or because the usual path of signal got changed and it met some slowdown on its way to the vpn server. Sucks to be so far away from them =/
