Is their $49 a year option good enough to do what I want to do? I used to get their $69 a year option when i lived in China, but in Taiwan, all I need to do is be able to watch movies and tv.

I'm not sure which option would be best...probably the cheaper version would be fine, but I would ask the company directly to make sure.

Here's what I did the for the VPN. I checked ddWRT's website, picked up a cheap DLink router at Zhongguancun (at the time I was in Beijing), installed ddWRT on it, opened VPN service on it, mailed it to my parents, and told my dad to replace the router with that one. Now I have a free VPN and have had one for the last 4 years.

It's an alternative firmware to install on routers. Far superior to the stock ones.

There are a number of free vpn downloads available if you search. I personally don't use them, so I'm not sure about the reliable or best ones.
