Expat Shield for watching iplayer etc
 

You probably all know about this already, but just incase, I have downloaded expat shield on my laptop, and it creates a UK IP address, so I can stream BBC iplayer and ITV Player and all the UK sites, as they think I am in the UK. Pretty cool for me as my Saturday and Sunday nights have remained the same with Strictly Come Dancing and Xfactor :)

It shouldn't do, I haven't used the application myself but I imagine it is just a custom connectoid app for a VPN tunnel or, more likely, just a simple app to allow you to visit UK sites via a UK proxy. Saying that, the site does look slightly sketchy though and I wouldn't be surprised if there is at least some adware content in there, hopefully not malicious in nature.

It seems as though it's offering a service for free which people usually pay for though and everyone knows there usually no such thing as a free lunch.
