@phoneboy I got it for free and looking at it's history, it keeps going free every once in a while, if you're willing to wait.
And yes, it is a great solution! While I've usually stopped picking up calls anyways, it's good to see Robofence give me that small "probably a spammer" message underneath a call… :)

@jasonechols I know the best policy is not to pick up an unknown number and to let it go to voicemail, but there's also this option - Any one of the following -

@jws yeah, exactly… I use a VPN which connects to servers in the EU (TigerVPN) and it works just fine. Not sure why I would want to use DNS like that…

Folks, wasn't there a neat service which took form inputs and pushed them to a Google spreadsheet? #webdev
@jws but wouldn't that server just look me up and say…
Oh wait, I just realized that servers don't usually expend processing figuring out where an IP is coming from.
But then, their client facing load balancer might, no?

@streakmachine I need to calculate my mental age too… I think I got locked into some age a few years ago and still don't know when it was!

@snrkl Oh… VPN vs Smart DNS to work around geo-locked services like BBC iPlayer and Netflix. There are services like Unlocator which allow one to use American Netflix outside the US… Just wondering how changing the DNS achieves this.
