Crunchyroll and Funimation streaming: Avoiding region blocking

(1/4) > >>

htears:
As this is related more to anime, i am posting it here. I found it on Formula-subs website. I live in India and it worked for me. I was able to watch Phantom and FMA:B episodes on Funimation.com. I tried crunchyroll and it worked there too. I was able to watch a Skip Beat episode which i was unable to watch earlier as i was region blocked. Hopefully this method will work for a long time as Funi might be trying to find a way to stop this.

Thanks for the tip :). Can attest it works as watching first episode of Phantom right now just to test it
... only complaint is it keeps buffering every few minutes...

I think that's a Funi problem. Even so, it's better than nothing.

I can get it to work for Funimation, but CrunchyRoll still gives me that "unavailable in my region" crap. Not sure if that goes for any show or just a select few, so I'll have to test it further.

The opposite for me.It works on crunchy but on funi I get the region message.

Works on both.
