Best approach for country VPN for multiple devices
-
@Dominica That is the nice thing about using an AWS-EC2 instances. You can have pre-built/configured VPN servers in different locales (US East-Virginia, EU-Ireland, Asia Pacific-Singapore, South America-Sao Paolo) and bring up/take down an instance as you travel to different parts of the world. The last time we had people travel to Asia I spun up an EC2 instance in Singapore and they were able to connect to email and other services with little to no latency.
Traveling to Europe? Take down the Singapore instance and bring up an instance in Ireland.
Their free-tier is good for a year of use if I remember correctly, and should be more than enough oomph for personal use.

No free for us, we used up the free tier long ago.
-
It is only getting access to the US that we are looking for.
-
@Dominica Hosted solves that.

Why would you need a power hungry PC for this? Couldn't you use something like an ERL? If you wired access, you could plug the ERL into the internet, and hang a UAP off the other side (the 5 port ERL has POE) and you should be good.
If you only have wireless access, you'd need two UAPs, one for connection to your provider, and one to your stuff, assuming you couldn't get a VLAN situation working, then you might be able to do it all with one.

Please check this, http://help.unotelly.com/support/solutions/articles/193478-setting-up-unodns-on-your-amazon-fire-tv-
and probably as trial, try the DNS entries:
Primary DNS: 5.100.250.54Secondary DNS: 103.250.184.116

Looks promising, checking that one out.

So it appears that this will work for the Fire TV but there is one little catch - there is no advanced option when your WiFi doesn't use a password - which the one that we are on here in Galveston does not. So I am attempting to test this and the setting that I need to enter doesn't exist for us

Can you make a profile for a non-broadcasting ssid? If so maybe try making one with the advance settings and then just remove the password.

Yes, you are correct, I think that that will work. Trying to figure out how to manually set the IP address in that case as it seems to want to not allow DHCP and the pool of IP addresses here is large so it makes it rather complicated.
