My Amazon prime streaming service is not available to my location (Davao) it says. Anyone using this streaming service successfully. Or any other, like Hulu, HBO, Spectrum cable, etc?

Nope from Cebu and it seems that they are no longer allowing VPN's and Proxy servers either. This kind of makes my Amazon Prime membership pretty useless.

You may have to shop around for a vpn that will work. I was able to get Prime with my Expressvpn service. I don't have Prime anymore, since the 2 day shipping was the main reason for having it, so I can't promise it is still an option.

Netflix works without a VPN here but whether it's worthwhile is up for debate.

Yes, Netflix does work here but you get the PH version. To access the US or any other version, you need a VPN.
And yes Zincity, Amazon Prime worked a couple of months ago but, not anymore.
I have tested using ExpressVPN, Private Internet Access, OpenVPN and IPVanish. Hopefully, other providers don’t follow suit but I suspect that they will.

From my experience only one or two servers in the US will work. When I had ExpressVpn I emailed them to ask what service would work and they gave me a workable server option.
The way things are going now I think the only reliable method is to find a proper IPTV service, if you don't mind going to the dark side. ðŸ˜
