Hadn't heard of DNS leaks before so I did some googling and testing didn't find one. I then tried Netflix with PIA on and it worked.
The only thing that changed since the last time I tried it was the 8/2 Windows 10 update, maybe that fixed something?

Took my bill from $160 to $60 getting rid of a tv package and just using Hulu, Netflix, HBO GO streaming to my T.V. AT&T tries to combat this by giving you an internet data cap per billing cycle if you do not have a T.V. package attached to you account, but even still I don't reach the cap (I think it's like 600GB). I play online games and watch twitch streams, along with the streaming T.V. services that my wife and I watch. Cutting the cord FeelsGoodMan

You seriously can't go wrong buying a fire TV box and watching a couple videos on YouTube on how to install kodi and fusion.
Get the box it's so much better than the stick, Wi-Fi signal and range is better doesn't load slow and can be plugged right into the modem.

Almost?!? Most definitely don't need Hulu or Netflix, Index of / will give you exodus and a lot of the others and a way to search and install apps. Comes with sports in cast away and sports devil. Not much porn on it but search for the good adult ones and there will be a video showing you how.
Spring for the box, you won't be disappointed.

Anyone using an Nvidia Shield for Plex/Netflix/etc? I'm thinking about picking one up, more specifically for Plex but I have a few other uses for it as well. Surprisingly, I've been able to get by just using my Samsung TV's built in app for Plex but it shits out on any "4k" content.
Someone asked about mmatv, it is a good value imo.

I ordered a FireTV stick to my father-in-law's house and sent him an invite on Plex. Instead my brother-in-law loaded Kodi. I told him to factory reset it and install Plex. Amazon has been pretty relaxed in not pursuing people who use their cheap devices to access pirated content, but when everyone and their idiot brother (literally) can use Kodi, it's only a matter of time before they either disable those sticks or send out DCMA notices or fines.

Matter of time... Clocks running on 18 months for me. You can put kodi directly on smart tvs as well, also when is Compaq going to go after me for using their product to access pirated content been doing that for over a decade.
Plex can also used to access pirated content, that wasn't really my point. It's the combination of side-loading and access streaming sites that I think it will not continue to work indefintely. Streamers have always been the most zealously prosecuted, probably because its so easy a moron can do it, present company excepted of course. Compaq, really?

Compaq was my first PC lol, what I used when I first started pirating. The point was all sorts of products today help you access pirated material and that was a shitty argument.
All you have to worry about is your ISP and if you have a dmca warning sending ISP then I feel bad for ya, haven't once had my cable company fucked with me. Amazon isn't doing shit, it would kill the popularity of the devices if they blocked kodi and people would move to the other 10+ ways to use kodi not named Amazon.

You can literally download kodi to your laptop and then chrome cast to your TV. Roku box, Any smart TV with 2 gigs of space, PC, laptop, about a dozen different boxes similar to fire TV boxes.
Amazon isn't doing shit.
Amazon isn't doing shit.
Just to clarify, fear of Amazon coming after me is not the reason I don't use Kodi, foremost its because its inferior to my Plex server. This is my first message so maybe that creates the impression I am a total newb, but I spent the last 20 years trading warez and surfing the great blockbuster in the sky. If Amazon is going to start doing shit, my money is they start with Kodi users, that's all I'm saying.

No it's cool no hostility, all Amazon can do is break kodi on their platform and kill their platform in the process technically speaking and figuratively when everyone uses one of the other 10+ methods that doesn't include giving amazon $40-$100.

Go to www.plex.tv and sign up then message me your username for a glimpse of the wonders.
Later on I will do a huge write up on automating everything into Plex as a front end for anyone to be a Netflix for their family or just themselves.
This is literally why I own a $2k server on a gigabit link.
