Ok so all I wanted was too be able to see Netflix in my x360. However having a little 17 month girl I could not leave my PC connected to my xbox everytime I needed an american IP.
So my workaround.
Bought a TP-LINK WR740N (not expensive at all) updated it to newest firmware and connected it to my existing router.
Created a new wifi connection and in Connection Type Wan chose PPTP.
Bought a VPS in USA with centos 5.6 64 bits and configured my PPTP VPN (had an OpenVPN before, but did not work for this) for 7$ a month
So in Connection Type Wan I chose PPTP, entered my login in the VPN and the server IP, chose connect automatically with no idle time. Deactivated firewall in this router and activated protocol 47 GREP or PPTP Passtrough and disabled ALG rules.
Went to first router and added second router to DMZ.
Restarted both routers, and voila.
Right now writing this with a connection wireless with an american IP and with the xbox the same.
If anyone needs a help with something like this, just buzz or PM and I will be glad to help

Great to hear you got it all setup exactly how you need it.. I think this sort of tutorial would be a great addition to the site, and help out loads of guys out that are looking to do the same thing..
If you ever get time, and the inclination, could you maybe submit a small tutorial?? Feel free to say no, it can't hurt to ask i thought..

Even recommend some places where you purchases your services and link them.

No problemo, I was VIP before in the previous xbox HQ forum. As for the VPN if you want I can set up an account for you, just have to tell me OpenVPN or PPTP
