Pandora is a great way to listen to your favorite music without having to leave your home. However, if you’re not comfortable using a proxy server, there are other ways to listen to Pandora. Here are three tips:

  1. Use a VPN: A VPN encrypts your traffic and helps you stay anonymous online. This can help you avoid being tracked by your ISP or other third-party providers.
  2. Use an EchoLink app: If you have an EchoLink speaker, you can use the EchoLink app to control Pandora from your phone or computer. This way, you don’t have to remember the address or password for Pandora each time you want to listen.
  3. Use a Chromecast: If you have a Chromecast device, you can use the Chromecast app to control Pandora from your phone or computer. This way, you don’t have to remember the address or password for Pandora each time you want to listen.

What loophole? As they document over at Digital Inspiration, Pandora seems to skip the IP location check for requests coming in through HTTPS. You simply need to install an extension for your web browser that enforces HTTPS (such as HTTPS Everywhere for Firefox and HTTPS Everywhere for Chrome). Install them, open Pandora, and you’re in business.
