Advice VPN on PS3

[Aoami]

I bought a ps3 yesterday and i was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to set up a vpn on it so i can get iplayer etc. I pay for a vpn service that i have set up on my pc. I googled it and the results were inconclusive and im at work so cant try it! Has anyone done it before?

Now that would be handy, being over in Australia means tv sucks (it's winter atm before ppl start thinking I should be out bbq'ing etc!) and iplayer on my ps3 would be great

Not sure you can create a VPN on a non-rooted PS3. Certainly not seen anything myself.

Looking for the same thing myself. The only way I could think of doing it was at the router level, but that would be a bit of a pain in the arse.

Everything I've seen on this subject requires that you do this before the PS3 in the network itself.

Most common bypass seems to be hook the PS3 up to your PC and run the VPN shit on the PC

NB: Gonna move this to consoles with a redirect.

That said if you have a powerful enough NAS or a server you could probably just set up your own proxy

As I said earlier I do not think it is possible without jailbreaking the PS3, otherwise you are limited to

1. The router.
2. Another system behind your router which you would point the PS3 to as the default gateway.

I'll have a think about this tomorrow and possibly setup a "public" VPN server and do some testing with my PS3.
