Specifically Japan. I downloaded the Netflix channel today and got my console activated, but when I try to stream something, it tells me I can't watch from my region. Is there any way to spoof my Wii's IP or something?
Costello said:yes, I use proxies to watch stuff from china but it's always too slow. I've tried loads of VPNs and other stuff but it's desperately slow. On megavideo i have to let the buffering go for like an hour before i can watch something...
I don't know if Japan is any different though.

Speaking as someone who did the song and dance with the Wii in Japan once, I can confirm a couple of things:
1. TOR simply isn't worth it. The anonymity you gain isn't outweighed by the disgustingly slow speeds.
2. Most other proxies work like a dream. I was able to use hotspot shield to watch Hulu (before it was patched) with barely any extra buffering. Last i checked, other streaming sites (tv.com and mtv.com) worked fantastically.
So if Relle can get a decent proxy going on his/her router (I only have experience with Airport, sorry I can't be more helpful) I think (s)he can get Netflix working no problem. I hope you sprang for the fiberoptic internet from NTT, that connection is the fastest I've ever tried, and really reasonable price-wise.
