How to circumvent the video streaming limitation?

If you are watching many movies or series via streaming that is using megavideo, rapidshare, megaupload, or veoh then you can actually circumvent the limitation of 72 minutes imposed on your client by changing your ip address.

So, just use the ip address switcher that I have explained in my previous posting.

In this case you will be able to continue watching some streaming videos. However, you have to go back to the position where the connection has been closed by the adequate engine.

Another better solution is to use a plugin called Illimitux for your browser, that can disable the restriction imposed on you from these websites.

Currently only the Firefox and Chrome browsers are supported.

Just go to the website illimitux to download the plugin.

Please report suggestions if you have some troubles!

How to know your address ip in Windows?

There are many way in order to know your ip address. In this tutorial I will give you two methods to find your ip-address. Consequently, we will start with the simple way which is the most adequate one available in your system.

The windows command shell:

Goto → the windows start panel and type on the search field: "cmd" without the quotes.

The command shell will be displayed at the top of the panel as seen in the side figure.

Then, click on cmd to start the windows command shell.

Then after, type: nslookup localhost on the shell as seen in the bottom figure.

Windows Search bar

Windows command shell

If you are connected to a network you will get the router servername (seen in red color) and its ip address (seen in yellow color). Unless the default address 127.0.0.1 of your localhost is printed out, which correspond to the ipv6 ::1

To understand more what the command: nslookup can do. Just type on your shell: nslookup /? where help information will be displayed in your system default language.

The whatismyipaddress-website:

IP Geolocation

In this method, you will get only a relative address ip related to your geographical location.

The relative address is issued by your provider of security reason. Usually, the website can only refer to public IP addresses.

Hint: Use this address if you already hide your ip-address in order to check whether your geographical location has changed.

How you make money with your blog?

First thing you have to do is to create your blog in Blogger and fill it with content. Then optionally, create a Google+ account and connect your Blogger account with your Google+ account (this will be explained in a future post). After that you can participate to the Google Adsense program where you can earn money via clicks that internautes usually do when they are in your blog.

Be careful when you subscribe to the Google Adsense program.

Most of the mistakes that people do when they sign in is that their blog has not sufficient content.

If you blog is not filled with important content and used by internautes your application could be refused like it happend to me just in the early beginning of my blog :(

So, just be sure that your blog is popular and filled with a lot of content when you subscribe to the Google Adsense progam. If your blog is satisfying then the Google employees will probably accept it, unless they will send you an mail telling you briefly the reason for that.

So, you will get a second chance afterward. So, don't wast it! Be careful when you resent your subscription!

For further information about GoogleAdsense+Blogger just watch this video.

If you don't wish to use Blogger for your blog or you have a website then just sign in the Google Adsense program. Click here to sign! Then you can do this the old way.

In all cases, you will have to wait for confirmation from Google in order for the ads (i.e. advertising) to be activated. Also, you have to copy the Google Adsense script code into your specified page that you want to integrate your ads within.

Using Hotspot Shield in order to watch movies and series from the US [Updated]

In this post (Updated) I will give you some tutorial about how you can actually watch movies and series from the US.

Hotspot shield is a free VPN service that allows you to hide your ip-address and also gives you an US-ip-address, which let you be able to watch fresh movies and series that are broadcasted in the United States (US).

Because you have an US-ip, the website where you want' watch thinks that your location is currently in the US, which is not entirely true because you call that website via the Hotspot Shield server which is in fact located in the US.

Hotspot Shield was for me an essential tool in order to counteract the blockade 404 that was imposed to us (in Tunisia) for several years before the holy revolution of 7.12.2010-14.01.2011 occured.

Back in 2010, I still remember how I showed some friends and family how they can use Hotspot Shield in order to open youtube, wat.tv, and other websites, which were blocked too. That was really cool :)

Hotspot Shield (AnchorFree)

Also, the service is free but it is financed by ads (advertisement) that you have to click sometimes: "This is money too!"

Going back to this tutorial...

So, now all you have to do is to download the Hotspot Shield program located here.

And then, just follow the following steps:

• In Step 0, download the program and install it.
• Step 1, connect with Hotspot Shield like seen in the image
• Step 2, connection will be established. It takes some times... and you have to click a start button.
• Step 3, This is it! :) enjoy!

Check the following websites, if you would like to watch some fresh new series that did not reached yet the old continents.

1. HULU
2. ABC
3. CBS
4. NBC

Also, check this cool website called pandora.com where you can hear music from many artists from around the world.

How to watch French Television via internet in a foreign country

!!! The French Server Arethusa is no more available !!!
You will be redirected to an Ukrain-based server.
Another possibility is still available but it will not be explain in this blog.

In this post I will give you some guidenlines about what you have to do in order to be able to watch the French Television in a foreign country.

For example, if you would like to watch the french television: TF1, France 2, France 3, France 4, etc. Then, you can go for example to the TF1-website or just click on live. However, this may not work for you, because your IP-address is referring to another country other then France. Because, the broadcasting of national televisions is only limited to the country boundary.

So, what you can do is actually to change your IP-address to a french one. All you have to do is to find a french free or paid server that offer you a VPN connection.

Hint: Concerning the law you have to be careful if you are going to do it. I think that there is no law that prohibit such kind of acting. But I'm not sure!

Ok, I'm a nice guy :) I will give you a link of a free french server called: Arethusa

If you are in the Arethusa-site just select Help - then select Free Server - there you can find further information about how to use the server and what user and password you require.

I'm nice again :P, so just click on this link to download the required zip file: http://wired.s6n.com/vpn/arethusa-free.zip

In the zip file you will find a certificate that you have to install and a profile file required for OpenVPN. Indeed, we are going to use the OpenVPN client in order to connect to the Arethusa server. The OpenVPN client could be find here: http://openvpn.net/index.php?option=com_content&id=357

If you have succeeded in installing the OpenVPN client, the Arethusa certificate, and its OpenVPN profile. Then your OpenVPN client have to look like follows. If some problems occurs probably you have to install some frameworks related to the operating system like .Net framework for the windows system.

OpenVPN - Arethusa Profile

Now, all you have to do is to sign up in order to connect to the server. So, just click on the Arethusa-free profile in order to get connected.

OpenVPN - Arethusa Login

Now, type as username and password the following ones:

And click on Login as seen in the figure to connect

In order to watch TF1 click on this link. For France 2, France 3, France 4, France 5, etc. click on this one

By the way, you can also watch french television using Zattoo.  However you have to pay something like 2.5 € monthly in order to be able to watch multiple french television. Unless, you will only watch France2 for free. This will be explained further in a separate post.
