teamliquid.net"use ultrasurf" how? to do what exactly? why did you link to the post instead of just explaining?

I linked to the post to give proper tribute and reference.
About how, as the OP says: Google it :)

I did google it.
"Ultrasurf is a free software that enables users to visit any public web sites in the world safely and freely through a secure encrypted connection. "
"Bypass firewalls to browse the internet freely."
"Protect your privacy online with anonymous surfing and browsing. Ultrasurf hides your IP address, clears browsing history, cookies, and more."'
I'm not installing it because I don't see how any of this would help with a lagging stream.

Dude, I'm serious, it's helping a TON! It's basically like night and day.
2
Most of that means it's just a VPN.
i.e, Other than clearing history. You can disable that in the options of application.
2
But how does using a VPN help?
edit: just saw your other post, "source IP changed for me after running the program". Could've just told me that ^^
2
Don't install it then. It stopped my stream lagging though, must be something with twitch.tv and europe.

The best thing is, there is no install. You just have to run the exe.
2
Don't install it then.
Please forgive me for being skeptical about a dodgy looking site and protective of my computer. I'm just asking, no need to get passive aggressive.
2
Just download the zip file, and run the executable. Then you can either use IE, which is standard, or go to Settings and force it to not use IE, which has worked for me using Chrome. I had massive spikes every once in a while on 480, and after installing its flawless on 720+.
2
I'm not sure if I'm using it right, but I just downloaded it and opened the .exe, now the Dreamhack Inv. doesnt lagg anymore, so you apperently just have to have the programm running.
1
You are... I checked that source IP changed for me after running the program.
3
you cunts are so lazy, how about you google it. jesus fucking science.

Tried ultrasurf, ended up on http://community.justin.tv/mediawiki/index.php/Suspended_accounts

Same here, fuck. :(

Given that spoofing your region is necessary to get an adequate service from JTV for Europe right now, it would seem you have solid ground to appeal such a suspension.

lol

Me too. From that page:
Note: If you are connecting from an open Proxy, it may show you that you have been blocked from using Justin.tv. Many open proxies have been blocked due to users abusing our Terms of service from these proxies. We will not unblock these proxies from our site. It is recommended you do not use these to connect to Justin.tv.
It looks like something they might unban us for as it's not directly against the TOS.
Luckily they seem to have fixed the lag anyway.

sweet, worked for me in the UK! Thanks!

So with the .exe running, I can just F5 the stream page in my default browser? Because even though I tell UltraSurf to not use IE, only IE ever starts when pushing the Home button.
3
yes, apparently so, It is working perfectly in chrome for me.
1
It was lagging as hell. Now it's perfect. You saved evening for me.
I am a long time on Reddit, but never had an account. Now I have. Registered to say thank you
3
worked for me.
2
Me too, was lagging at 480p before, now silky smooth at 720p+ <3

2
Had no effect for me, still lagging.
2

I wish I knew how to extract their proxy server ip from their program :< :<
may be virtualbox would help?
2
Fine in a Linux VBox. Thank you for the idea !
1
You can use a program called NetShade
1
Seriously helped, thank you kind sir
1
Seems to have fixed the lag. Thanks.

Oh wow thats amazing. Such a laggy stream before, I was watching it in 360p all day thinking my internet was the problem :/
Now 720p+ in ultrasurf is perfect!
I'm in the UK btw.
1
Download, click the exe, watch Dreamhack in IE (720+). Works.
1
Still not working for me.

If I untick the option for using IE, it seems like it doesn't do anything with any of the browsers. Unless I tick the option to open IE on start it doesn't work. And when I do open the program and it opens IE the streams doesn't work, they don't even show up. It's just the grey background from TL. This program seems quite worthless unless I'm doing something wrong.
1
You don't have to use IE. Just run the program, untick the "use IE" box then just load up chrome and go to http://www.twitch.tv/dreamhacktv to watch the stream.
1
I already did that, but it didn't seem to do anything. It certainly didn't make the stream less laggy. Though when I ran chrome with it, it didn't show the ultrasmurf thing in the top of the browser as it did when I opened with the start IE option ticked. Is it supposed to do that?
1
No icon in the browser for me. I have a padlock symbol just above the clock on the task bar though.
1
This worked perfectly for me and I'm based in the UK. Excellent suggestion!
1
install then lag just will disapear im amazed how easy that was and how well it worked
1
With UltraSurf, your are getting the non-laggy american (!) stream
That is all and it works
Should work with any other fast proxy
1
except it doesn't work for me :s

McAfee and many antivirus softwares also reports Ultrasurf as a backdoor trojan. wiki
I'm not tech savy enough to make any comment on how accurate this is, just figured I'd throw that out there, in case anyone is worried about being anonymous and what not.
Jotti's malware scan results: http://goo.gl/cKtKy - 4 out of 20 scanners reported it as malware.
VirusTotal's scan results (queued): http://goo.gl/fSISr - 10 out of 44 scanners reported it as malware.
EDIT: VirusTotal scan results
Yeah, stable and fast proxies are never free. It probably just steals your browsing data to be sold to advertising companies, which is relatively harmless, but still.
People also say it uses your computer to launch attacks on websites it apposes.

why isn't this upvoted further?
omg, I didn't know. Guess we are infected with backdoor now. Dammit Twitch tv and sc2 obsession!
