I'm pretty much linux savy, but though I am OK with command line, it's just the stuff I need to use though, and the distros I use are easy ones which install codecs and have gui for everything. ? Life is too short for making simple stuff work. SSH and openVPN I am ignorant, but then I never actually investigated, will these be possible on wifi provided by the apartment downstairs? Last time I was there the landlady tried to hide the wifi, (works only with windows, ha ha) after we downloaded 3 series of Fawlty Towers even though BG ISP's is supposed to have no data limits.On 24/04/13 06:50, Simon Robert -Cottage wrote:Thanks for your efforts. I now recall the last time I tried I did point vlc at the file and got about 2 seconds of the iplayer intro "ting de ting" thingy. Oh well UK VPN then - any recommendations? SimonHave a look here: http://www.lowendbox.com/ Lots of solutions for all price ranges - as you'd guess from the name, they tend to specialise in the cheaper stuff. Note that these are VPS though, so you'll get root login on a box you can then do anything with, and not a simple turnkey VPN solution. If your home system(s) have enough bandwidth and you're confident enough with your skills, why not simply use SSH/OpenVPN on your own box and remote through them whilst you're away? That's what I do.

Would your suggestion involve routing through my UK desktop PC? 'cos this is not possible. I'll be away too long for this, the power goes down in this village every time it rains... and no-one will switch my PC back on.
