    Is there any difference between this and Hola Unblocker? Cheers for the post!

  • Mister Plod on 02/08/2013 - 22:26

    Currently using a firefox addon called ProxMate to view hulu, works great. This is still a good deal for other applications though :)

    You sure it's not just a 14 day trial, until they receive payment then it's upgraded to the Semi-Annually Plan?

    • easternculture on 02/08/2013 - 23:20

      Yes im sure

    My friends, use the chrome extension called "Media Hint", you can thank me later.

    • Dacs on 03/08/2013 - 07:29

      There's Media Hint for Firefox too.

    • macrocephalic on 03/08/2013 - 09:36

      The main reason I continue to use a DNS unblocking service is for my tablet. I don't know of any free plugin style ones that work on mobile devices yet.

      • myketa on 03/08/2013 - 19:23

        Hola.org my friend

    • ozguy on 03/08/2013 - 12:46

      Crikies! That was quick and easy. Downloaded the firefox extension, restarted firefox and voila!

      Is there a reason to pay for a commercial service (or grab the 6 month freebie)

      installed media hint on chrome but can't access netflix but I can access hulu.

    https://mediahint.com/install_chrome.html Media Hint link if anyone is interested

    • hashtagbargain on 02/08/2013 - 23:24

      Yep came here to post the link. It is not available on the chrome store, but thats ok as chrome (across all OSes) can use the same .crx file to install an extension. Cheers!

  • herbo on 02/08/2013 - 23:19

    Free six months sounds good, would be much better if there was the ability to use a netflix region switcher. You can access a lot more different content that way. I'm using unotelly and it's an excellent service. Can easily switch netflix countries and there's lots of other services that are 'unblocked'. You can get up to 6 months free by mentioning them on social media, pretty easy, http://www.unotelly.com/quickstart2/promo

  • c64 on 02/08/2013 - 23:24

    gee they must be making a killing if they are only providing a dns service

    couldn't you just add any geoip-restricted host names to your local dns server or hosts file and watch for free?

    • stickyfingers on 02/08/2013 - 23:57

      They resolve the host names to their own proxies afaik.

      ah, i see. thanks.

      it seems like a security risk to configuring your computer to use their dns servers. you wouldn't want to permanently leave your computer configured that way.

  • theoracle30 on 02/08/2013 - 23:40

    Does this work with WDTV Live? Simply update DNS setting from the menu?

  • jeffr on 02/08/2013 - 23:43

    can anyone suggest a hulu downloader?

    awesome, will be good for when my chromecast arrives,

    just setup 2 months free hulu.

    media hint works good too but need dns for ps3

    • Haxxa on 03/08/2013 - 10:42

      Won't Work at the moment, DNS is "Hard-Coded" onto the device with Google DNS. You must use VPN or wait until we find a way to change DNS via root, which won't be long in my opinion.

  • ammark19xx on 03/08/2013 - 01:49

    Hmm, just updated my IP on their Client login page, and set up their DNS addresses on my router. Both Hulu and iPlayer are seeing me as non-local.

    Am I the only one for whom it's not working?

    update: I specifically chose allpay, webmoney, other when signing up…. but the my account details shows they've set me up for credit card. Can anyone else confirm if this happened to them too?

      yep, correcto
      As long as you dont have a credit card on file, just ignore it

      • ammark19xx on 03/08/2013 - 02:24

        Actually I just signed up with a different email account and a different TPG connection and IP Address. Only the second account works. Good enough for me, I've submitted a cancellation request for the first account.

        update:

        In troubleshooting the problem it seems like its a router configuration issue on my end. I'm trying to get at why my dd-wrt DNS addresses are being overridden by my devices when trying to use SmartyDNS. It's very strange, i've set my dd-wrt router to look to the modem for DNS addresses, and I've set SmartyDNS server addresses in the modem. When I go to whatismyip.com it shows the SmartyDNS masking IP as my IP address. But iPlayer and Hulu does not work for geoblocking.

        BUT…. if I set the DNS addresses in Windows IPv4 adapter config, then iPlayer and Hulu works. This is inconvenient because I do want to watch iPlayer from many devices around the house. Anyone else facing this sort of router issue? Fixed my issues. Needed to "Update IP" in client area a couple of times, and everything got set with the DNS address set only through the modem.

  • freakitude on 03/08/2013 - 05:13

    i use unblock-us and renewal is due soon so just signed up to try.

    • casval on 03/08/2013 - 16:06

      Me too. You can't pay annually now on unblock-us.

      Thanks op. + vote.

    • macrocephalic on 03/08/2013 - 09:38

      No. To really hide your traffic you need a VPN service and you have to know that the VPN provider isn't going to provide your info to data collection agencies, and also that the data collection agencies don't already have a way decrypt your VPN data (tin foil hat optional).

  • DARK KHAOS on 03/08/2013 - 08:59

    or if using a browser then change "Automatic proxy configuration url" to https://mediahint.com/default.pac

    Has anyone had any luck getting this to work with a WD Live TV? I'm struggling!!

    • ammark19xx on 04/08/2013 - 15:23

      Don't know about WD Live, but my Samsung Smart TV times out and has a connection error in the BBC iPlayer app when I play their TV shows. I dont use Netflix, but I asssume I'd face the same problem through the TV. It has a very weak system for streaming things, and I think it has a very small memory buffer pool as well.

      But playing shows on Hulu and the iPlayer website works fine on my laptops and tablet.

    They now have a 50% off for the first 3 months, it is about 2.50$ per month, just got one
