i set-up vpnuk.info as a pptp connection from my gateway at home, and
routing all traffic to 212.58.0.0/16 over ppp0.
pptp, i know, but the vpn cert was throwing an error.
speed is excellent, tried it using browser on laptop and dedicated
player on the PS3,both flawless.
interestingly 4od does not appear to have any IP restrictions.
