I am accessing the site from outside the United States.  Why am I not able to stream certain stations?
Some stations only make their streams available to computers that connect through servers based in the United States. If you are located outside of the US and are having problems streaming, it may be because the IP address of your internet provider's server is a non-US address. In order to connect using a US bases IP address you would need to locate a public proxy server and then configure your browser to connect using that server instead of your internet provider's server. Public servers with US based IP addresses can be found at sites such as www.publicproxyservers.com.

After locating a public proxy server IP address, you would then need to configure your browser to use one of these proxy servers under Tools-> Options-> Connections-> Lan Settings-> Use Proxy Server. This will allow your computer can connect to the stream using a US based IP address. However, public proxy servers go offline frequently and are slow due to being overloaded. Streamhog is considering providing a private, US based proxy server for our international customers if interest is high enough. If you would be interested in such a server, please send an email to us at proxyinterest@streamhog.com.
