optimus0 Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 bd000 said Your ISP will not be able to help you, other than assigning you your own IP. If they can't do that, then you have to create your own solution. This will most certainly be a none-issue for them unless the whole town called up and complained about the same thing. Even then, if they have the monopoly, they'll probably just say "sorry, use a different site". Things will change when IPv6 is fully implemented. Am I right in assuming that you have called your ISP and requested a personal static IP and they said they cannot do that? Also, are you on dial-up or broadband? Dial-up would explain the fact you have to enter a user/pass to connect. Are you sure you were not mistaken when you said VPN? While it is possible and small remote towns can use some very odd methods, it is unlikely. I think you will need to find your own solution. Have you tried tunnelling out yet? If not, try a VPN. Subscriptions are only a few dollars for 1 month of service so it won't break the bank to give it a try. After a breif search I found that Boleh offer a 7-day trial service for $3.70 https://portal.bolehvpn.net/order.php They are many other services out there and you will probably want to shop around if you are planning to make a VPN service permanent. But these are cheap enough to test with and they are well established. Purchase the 7-day plan and download the client. Once connected to the net using your normal method, run the client and start the VPN. (They will have several gateways, just choose the one closest to you for initial testing.) Once connected, try connecting to GDB. Run LB and see if you can scrape. Ok i will try to explain how the connection works here. an optic cable comes from a big city 250 miles from here the ISP has a "central" station from there distribute to all town using small antennas and a very old rf cable connected to a router (i think) in order to use internet i have to create a new connection then use the the name and pass that they assign me and yes i need to find my own solution. the service es really bad and ridiculous expensive 1MB for 150 u$s. They even block PSN last month, a few friends and i go to their offices not very happy, and they unlock it but now is very VERY slow. i check the site you recommended, looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bd00 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Ah OK. Thanks for clearing that up. Yes try the method I suggested, that should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 @bd00's solution is probably your only option, and is worth a shot; it's likely that it'll fix the problem. Keep in mind though that all VPN providers are not considered equal, a lot of them suck, and your performance will suffer even worse if they do. There are a lot of good ones, but there are also a lot of bad ones. I've had good luck with these guys in the past: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: i bit disappointed about TGDB only a few of DOS games and some have the info wrong like Zork. Edit2: The premium version has anyway to lock the size/proportions of the front covers?
