All you need to do is post a tweet and you get a free three month subscription to Zenmate's premium VPN service. Been using their free version for a while and it's really good - the premium service gives you better speeds, access to premium servers from more countries and an option to automatically switch countries when you visit certain websites. All you need to do to start using it is install the browser extension, so you don't need to install any programs on your computer and no credit cards are needed to get the extended trial (normal trial length is seven days). There are Zenmate apps available too for mobile devices. The usual subscription price is £5 per month.
Also you can activate and stack multiple three month codes by using different email addresses if you want to. I got 12 months by using 4 different emails to generate 4 different codes. You need to clear cookies/use incognito before you use each new email

Zenmate doesn't use a .exe, it's completely web browser based. This means that you cant (easily) use the VPN for torrenting or for other programs on your PC.
If you use firefox you can get the extension here.
If you want it on your android phone you can get it here.
If you want it on your iOS device you can get it here.

Been using zenmate free for quite a while without problems, keen to check out how much faster premium is. Thanks for this

To be honest, premium doesn't appear to be any faster than the free version.
And some useful info for you. Even if you specifically select a server in (say) the UK, it's not uncommon for you to end up with an IP which is actually in Germany, Romania, France or even somewhere else (this can be easily checked with any "what's my IP" type service)
So, my guess is that when UK servers are busy/full, they just divert you somewhere else which is less busy. This is okay from a VPN perspective, but a bit of a pig if you specifically want a UK IP.

I managed to get mine till 27th July 7 days and 2x 3 month passes, how do you take it beyond that? Regarding emails? One was Facebook login and another via twitter? What did op mean by emails?

It's actually virtually impossible to accurately do this. In fact, it would take no time at all for someone to cheaply "rent" a unique private proxy, allowing them to always use the same IP and be the only user using it.
All countermeasures ever do is keep out the technically challenged.

Isn't that what Amazon already do with prime movies and TV?

If done correctly that wont matter. Will just mean even if you are in the USA using your uk registered account will mean you get to watch only UK stuff. So will still be able to use it.

If they do it that way it would be annoying for those who travel. I'm out of the country a lot and it's nice to be able to use Netflix late in the evening back at the hotel.

Channel 5 is getting it 1 week after USA so not really the end of the world...

Not a difficult thing to do really. All they need to do is look at your registered address when you go to watch something. If the country of that address doesn't match in a list allowed for the countries to watch the programme they stop you watching it. IE go by registered address rather than IP address. Surprised its taken this long really.
I think blocking IPs would be too hard. They can change way too often.
My guess is that they will lock your account to the address on your card or pay-pal details.
That would still allow people who travel use the account, as the I.P address would not come into it.
I suppose you could ask a friend to set up a US account and it may work. That way they will get double bubble from you. May even be what they want.

The way I got to watch US netflix on the Fire was simple.
I changed the DNS settings in the Network settings of the (WIRED) section, and used a free network unblocker.
As soon as I unplug the wired connection, and go back to wireless, I am back to UK Netflix.

so this is not really free then, you pay the cost of a tweet ? (which i've never done in my life anyway, ain't got a scooby-do how that works)
Dealier to mcek
17 Jan 16#19
Yes, it costs the same as a tweet. Which is the same price as posting something here. If you can use this site, you can use Twitter.

Anyone know the best way to use this on a Amazon Fire TV?
Guinea to si213
17 Jan 161#17
As far as I know the Fire TV doesn't support VPN out of the box, so you'd need to download the Zenmate Windows/Mac client and make a virtual router using your computer, before connecting the Fire TV to that. Would probably take some time, but a quick Google search brought up this guide in case you want some more info: https://www.expressvpn.com/support/vpn-setup/share-vpn-connection-windows-manual/

You need to use the website to input the code. Follow the HUKD link and click 'Get Free Premium Now,' and it should guide you through the process. After sending your tweet you need to click the green 'free' button where it says '3 months free', and it should add your promo code to your account automatically.

Thanks OP, I've also been using the free version for a little while, find it very unobtrusive.

Same here, it's great having no data limits and no ads at all. Not many VPN providers do that

My understanding is that they will identify the IP addresses of the servers of VPN companys and block them. I guess they want to drive prople to use torrents sites :-(

Hot. Shame that Netflix is going to block people from accessing Netflix from other countries (US Netflix is the best) so this kinda comes at a late point.

It is a shame. I am very interested in how they are going to do this. It's sort of the point of these proxies really.
