Hacker News Reader

As I've said in other comments. This is fun and hackerish but it's cheaper and simpler to just sign up for a VPN for a month that has UK gateways. Like https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ for $6.95

That's what I've been using and it works great. Some of their US nodes are slow, probably because overloaded, but I maxed out my 20 Mbit internet connection testing their UK London server.

Edit: I should also point out that a $20 Linode box just for VPN is overkill. If you really want to go the VPS route, there are plenty of sub-$10 VPS providers in the UK.

If you email me at coderrr.contact@gmail.com I can try to help figure out why you get slow speeds on some of our US servers. None of our servers are even running near capacity.

It would have been good courtesy to declare your affiliation with this company in your original comment

Yea I should have. I guess I forgot to because I had already done so in these other comments [1] and wrongly assumed everyone had read them as well. Anyway, I'm the cofounder of said service.
