Listening to US radios while in Europe ? Hiding IP.

[StephFR]

Hi,
I'm interested in this SB Radio, but one of my main use will be to listen to my favorites Californian stations while in France.
From my computer I can do it using some sowtware that will hide my IP, because most of those radios resctrict bradcasting to US listener..

How could I do with the SB Radio ?
Is there a configuration, a FW patch that will allow that ?
Is there and hardware solution to my problem, like having a router or switch that will do the job ?

Thanks for helping.

I'm interested too.

This could be used for listening BBC3 outside of UK...

One option is to establish an SSH tunnel between your computer in France and a friend's computer in the US. It is a general technique for appearing "local". You can then decide to have a local squeezecenter running in France and to "proxify" its internet access to go through the tunnel. Another option (I'm using this one) is to have the squeezecenter in the US and create in France 2 port redirection 9000 and 3483 on a "fake" squeezeserver to the real server in the US - this second option means that all the music streaming travels through the tunnel, this is probably not what you want, but I'm using it because I want to access the exact same library from my 2nd home even when I'm away

I have a second router on my home network that provides openVPN connection to a VPN service that provides foreign ip. Any device that is using this router as an internet gateway, will appear as connecting from another country.

With the devices like media players or squeezeboxes, you would setup connection to your home network manually by specifying your main router except for the gateway.

This setup requires some work but once it is setup, it is transparent to the user. One drawback is that if you need to change countries, UK for US for example, then you have to restart openVPN connection on the gateway router with new credentials. Luckily, I don't have a need to do that.
