    When does the Pinnacle IP Block Begin?
    I was relieved this morning that it is not blocked yet. Is this happening tonight?

                I tried logging in with something called expat shield and it detected that I was logging in from a banned place.

                Is there anything ready available for free online that will work? I am going to set up a good paid vpn but it hasn't happened yet. Help!

                    We spoke with mgt earlier today. You're still able to view the site for informational purposes, but system log ins will be prevented. This will ensure that there's not even the opportunity for a US-based user to attempt to bypass their safety net.

                    Fortunately, those of you that like to observe Pinnacle's offerings to compare against other books can still do so logged out ... and there's always SBR Odds for the blinking updates.

                      But you can't view their drop downs as an American. Which is EVERYTHING for soccer bettors.

                      Especially when it's at -0.25 or -0.75 and trying to determine the value of -0.5, -1, etc.

                      The best alternative is an odds website who has delayed lines.

                        For whatever reasons, either privacy, security, paranoia, etc, everyone should have a reliable VPN service on their monthly bills.

                          Feels good to be Canadian because you're right, Pinny's drop down menus are everything for comparing value.

                                      Could you just use TOR or would that not work?

                                          I use VyprVPN myself because I get it with my giganews account.
                                          Does VyprVPN provide a secure https connection? Is it fast? I see there isn't a server in canada. Are they all fast? Do you get your own vps or how does that work?

                                          Can you have one browser window (better yet tab) be vpn'ed and another not?

                                          Also, do you get your own unique IP address or can someone else use the same IP when you aren't using it?

                                          But mostly, is it fast.... I know it's better to be as close to the server as possible and they don't have a canadian server... which country available there works best?

                                            VyprVPN uses PPTP, L2TP/IPSec, and OpenVPN. These vary from 128-156 bit encryption. One great thing is that they have a program that you can install in windows and you can just click on it and choose the settings and connect/disconnect to the VPN. You can choose which type of VPN you want to use right then, and which country server you want to connect to, along with some other settings. You can also use their VPN on your iphone, ipad, android phones, and others. VyprVPN is extremely fast. I can connect to the VPN and my internet speed doesn't drop at all. I can DL at 1.7 which is my full internet speed. Streaming video is also just as fast. They currently have servers in DC, LA, Austin, Amsterdam, London, Paris, Frankfurt, and Hong Kong. You don't have your own assigned IP address. It just gives you an address by which server you connect to at the time. When you connect to the VPN computer's internet connection goes to the VPN so everything go through the VPN when you are connected. You can't do it tab by tab. You can also set up their VPN at the router level if you router supports it, but you won't need that if you are just getting lines. I love VyprVPN myself. It's fast as shit, convenient, and reliable. I have never seen it not be able to connect to any server. I mainly use London and DC and have never had a problem. Great for secure surfing and downloading from torrent sites if you need to.

                                                VyprVPN doesn't seem to be working for me. I used london and created a new account, but then when trying to log it it just has a blank white page. I tried it in 3 browsers. Why are all the IP's the same except for the ending? I think these are blacklisted because I did a search and some with the same beginnings were listed somewhere are blacklisted. What a let down! I guess I will have to take advantage of the free trial cancellation period. I spent all night on this. I need pinny!!! I wanted something that I could use right away. Better option is going to have a friend set up a program on a dedicated vps server that you can rent in canada or whatever. This way you get your own IP address and it can't be on any blacklist. Anyone up with some insight into what service I can use tonight that isn't blacklisted?

                                                        ProXPN is excellent. Have used them for several years with no problems at all.

                                                        Do you not use hidemyass as those losers will gladly give out your personal information to any authority who simply asks, which defeats a lot of the reasons why you use a VPN in the first place.

                                                          The best 100% sure-fire way is a remotePC type setup but you have to have a family member or trusting friend in Mex or Canada who will to let you remotely use their computer

I used london and created a new account, but then when trying to log it it just has a blank white page. I tried it in 3 browsers. Why are all the IP's the same except for the ending? I think these are blacklisted because I did a search and some with the same beginnings were listed somewhere are blacklisted. What a let down! I guess I will have to take advantage of the free trial cancellation period. I spent all night on this. I need pinny!!! I wanted something that I could use right away. Better option is going to have a friend set up a program on a dedicated vps server that you can rent in canada or whatever. This way you get your own IP address and it can't be on any blacklist. Anyone up with some insight into what service I can use tonight that isn't blacklisted?
                                                                You aren't doing it right then. Nothing is blacklisted. I just logged in to Pinny from my London VPN a second ago. Logged in with PC and iPad. You aren't doing something right.
