    Default Boxee and VPN in Norway

    Hi

    I just bought my boxee box mediacenter yesterday, and i have a noobish question..
    I live in Norway, but want to watch stuff on netflix and such.
    This is doable using VPN like StrongVpn, but how do i do this with the boxee box?

    I just have no clue, and was hoping there would be someone here who could tell me how to make this happen (step by step)

    Thank you in advance for all the help you can give

    Not at my Boxee Box just now but under Settings>>Network somewhere (probably Advanced but will be easy to find if not) is the section for adding your VPN settings. You will need specific settings from StrongVPN and their customer support should be able to help you with specifics. It's generally very straightforward.

    Alternatively, you may want to look at http://unblock-us.com/ if you don't need an encrypted connection and just want access to geo-locked content.

    You can also find out how to Get Help or read the Boxee TV and Boxee Box Documentation.

    Boxee box actually does not perform well with using VPN! I would recommend using and DNS service instead, like unblock-us.
    I've used StrongVPN and unblock-us, and for stability unblock-us is better.
