As I've said in other comments. This is fun and hackerish but it's cheaper and simpler to just sign up for a VPN for a month that has UK gateways. Like https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ for $6.95
- fl3tch 14y agoThat's what I've been using and it works great. Some of their US nodes are slow, probably because overloaded, but I maxed out my 20 Mbit internet connection testing their UK London server. Edit: I should also point out that a $20 Linode box just for VPN is overkill. If you really want to go the VPS route, there are plenty of sub-$10 VPS providers in the UK.
- coderrr 14y agoIf you email me at coderrr.contact@gmail.com I can try to help figure out why you get slow speeds on some of our US servers. None of our servers are even running near capacity.

- coderrr 14y agoYea I should have. I guess I forgot to because I had already done so in these other comments [1] and wrongly assumed everyone had read them as well. Anyway, I'm the cofounder of said service.
