So… Long time ago I became a fan of Opera.
Somehow. At some point. I was lead away from the light, and turned to the Dark side called Chrome.
Somehow I found my way back, but one thing that really bother’s me is the lack of Pandora (I don’t live in America). The extension “Hola Unblocker” allowed me to use Pandora as much as I wanted, but it seems that it is strictly Firefox, Chrome and Windows compatible. (I use Ubuntu.)
Hola Unblocker seems really complicated, and I can’t find any actual documentation on it. I doubt there’s an unofficial client for it, or even something similar besides Tor. You’d probably be best off just having Chrome (Chromium?) running in the background whenever you want Pandora.
There is mediahint.com as well. They use .pac proxy file, which you can download from here mediahint.com/default.pac and let opera use as default proxy setting in settings. Problem is, it often breaks and without the rest of the extension (which is for firefox and chrome only i think) you can’t get it to auto-update (and maybe it does something other than just updating, which you’ll also miss on opera).
does someone know a free US-VPN?
The problem for oex is that they don’t have enough rights to get around location checks like they are on Pandora or Grooveshark. In Chrome extension can do this. In my case, I only have Chrome installed due to one extension.
But perhaps I’m wrong, because this extension for yt does something like that: http://www.unblocker.yt/

I use a very small AWS server as squid proxy. It’s not open, I tunnel to it over SSH.
Serves me well, except for the lack of a London AWS zone, for F1 races.
This is what I kinda figured. Hola Unblocker was somewhat of a Godsend, which seemed way way too good to be true.
Thanks for your response anyway.
