GeoBlocked in XBMC

[BubbaLovesTV]

Hi,

I have a Minix x7 running wasser 1.0.4 firmware with xbmc Kodi beta 3.

Is there a way to circumvent geoblocking?

I am not in the US, but I would like to view some US stations.

Thanks.

You will need a VPN.

Or a transparent proxy and DNS spoofing/redirection, depending on the traffic.

Either way you need a machine/gateway/proxy of some sort in the US.
eg: a free* Amazon EC2 instance

* free for the first year

A VPN is the best solution.

For multiple gateways (you probably don't want ALL your traffic going through the VPN!), you'll need to be able to examine DNS traffic within your network ... an OpenWRT router, for example.
My personal preference is then to use a combination of machine and gateway specific static-routes, and DNS spoofing. This allows for more flexibility, but does increase the complexity and maintenance.
