    As above...

    I think i'm going to Japan in summer for a month or so but I am aware that stuff like Sky Anytime require you to be within the UK.

    Could I route my connection in Japan to my router at home, so that I could still access them?

    nucastle.co.uk can be accessed from anywhere, but nice try!

    Don't you have a text box to decorate?

    True.

    You could always buy yourself some vacuum packed schoolgirl knickers from a vending machine?

    There's something depressing as fuck about going to one of, apparently, the most interesting countries in the world and not being able to entertain yourself for a month without the internet.

    I plan to to a LOT of things while I am there. But I cant exactly be out 100% of the time for a month. I may be there for even longer than a month.

    But even so there will be times when I just want to watch a fucking film or a twatting sporting event on my bastarding sky anytime that i am sodding paying for while i'm away.

    Thus, giving my past "tightpockets" reputation, you can surely understand why I feel the need to make sporadic use of a paid service.

    so, how about an answer? :lol:

    if your router can make use of VPN tunnels, just use that and set up a VPN to your home PC... then use that as the gateway onto the internet.

    Alternatively make one of your PCs public to the internet and whack a proxy script on it. I wouldn't go advertising it though as it's usually a breach of your terms & conditions of service with your ISP.
