Speaking of the P-provider, I found 5 RiffTrax movies that were available to me only by VPN. There are at least 5 more titles that aren't available anywhere, apparently. *sigh* While experimenting with one film by RiffTrax, I employed the VPN to rent the film, then turned off the VPN & could still watch it with no trouble at all. So, world travelers, rent wherever you want & watch at home.
Hi
Just Add Cones,
Sounds like you've got a handle on the P-provider over vpn. I decided to check the
P-provider functionality again just for
shits and giggles, and
lo and behold I'm seeing that it's
still restricting content and
not expanding content based on the virtual geographical location afforded by using vpn.
When using the link provided in the information banner: "
Traveling? Some titles might be unavailable in your location. Browse titles available in your current location.", I'm provided with a lousy list of options that would normally chase away subscribers which basically negates the search feature. You're reduced to filtering only if you expect to find something you can actually watch.
I decided to look up your
RiffTrax titles, while connected to
Canada. In the
search results, the following titles claim to be "
Included with your Prime membership" along with that
Watch Now button. However, none of them were accessible and this includes the
HBO and
Showtime content which I'm subscribed to as well. They all display the following message:
"Your device is connected to the Internet using a VPN or proxy service. Please disable it and try again. For more help, go to amazon.com/pv-vpn."
These are just the
Page 1 results. There were many more on page 2 with the Prime banner that might interest you if yours actually works over vpn.
- RiffTrax: The House on Sorority Row
- RiffTrax: The Journey: Absolution
- RiffTrax: Day Of The Animals
- RiffTrax: Oblivion
- RiffTrax: The Brain
- RiffTrax Shorts (Seasons 1, 3, 6-8)
- RiffTrax: No Retreat, No Surrender
- RiffTrax: The Girl from Rio
- RiffTrax: Birdemic Shock and Terror
- RiffTrax: Samurai Cop
- RiffTrax Live: Space Mutiny
I'm using
NordVPN, as my primary, but see no difference with
ExpressVPN. I'm curious as to which one you are using.
Now switch over to the N-provider and you'll easily find titles that are
not available in the US, along with many that are. Such as:
- Austin Powers 1 International Man of Mystery (1997) [13+]
- Austin Powers 2 Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) [13+]
- Austin Powers 3 Goldmember (2002) [13+]
- Boogie Nights (1997) [R]
- Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) [R]
- Braveheart (1995) [R]
- Carlito's Way (1993) [R] SD only
- Dredd (2012) [R]
- Elysium (2013) [R]
- Escape Plan 1 (2013) [R]
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1988) [R]
- Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) [13+]
- Friday 1 (1995) [R]
- Friday 2 Next Friday (2000) [R]
- Friday 3 After Next (2002) [R]
- Friday 4 First Sunday (2008) [16+]
- GI Joe 1 Rise of Cobra (2009) [13+]
- GI Joe 2 Retaliation (2013) [13+]
- Gladiator (2000) [R]
...to name a few...
enjoy!
I think some of these leave soon, so hurry!
