    How's Getflix compared to US Unblock?

    • [Deactivated] on 14/06/2015 - 18:24

      Does everything perfectly. Even has an app now so you can refresh your IP straight from your phone/tablet.

      • boredofficeworker on 14/06/2015 - 21:43
        +1

        You have always been able to bookmark the IP page (which looks exactly like an app) to your home screen.

        Imo, a better option is to use DDNS/No-IP/etc account to keep your IP updated with Getflix, and bookmark the region page instead. :)

        • bxpressiv on 14/06/2015 - 22:00

          Do you know where I can find a guide about DDNS? I can't get my head around it. I'm with Telstra which has a dynamic IP so I have to manually change everything on a network reboot.

          @bxpressiv: I use duckdns (http://www.duckdns.org/) All you need to do is sign up and install a client on a device (they have heaps of different clients) and that will auto update it

        • bxpressiv on 15/06/2015 - 06:14

          @thesab:
          Thanks, I shall give it a try on my server.

        • boredofficeworker on 15/06/2015 - 12:50

          @bxpressiv:

          Thesab's suggestion is probably easiest, I configure it all via DD-WRT on my router.

        • bxpressiv on 28/06/2015 - 19:03

          @thesab:

          Got home yesterday so had a look at duckdns today and had it setup on my server within minutes. Thanks for the recommendation, has automated my reboots/power outages and I no longer need to sort out my networking any more.

    • teaBagger on 28/06/2015 - 21:38

      I have been on Unblock-US for 18 months and was 100% happy.

      I just saw this getflix code tonight and thought I would give it a trial and see what GetFlix was about.

      Getflix has additional functionality (full VPN, etc) for half the price.

      SOLD!

  • jo b on 14/06/2015 - 18:17

    I signed up when there was no deal for 6 months. Is there anyway of modifying the subscription so when that lapses the 40% kicks in?

    • bxpressiv on 14/06/2015 - 18:34

      My understanding is you can't start a Paypal subscription into the future but you can use a debit/cc and it will just stack.

    • deeevan on 14/06/2015 - 18:47

      Just apply the code now to update the price, and pay when your 6 months is up. The price stays after the promo code expires.

    DNS4me, slightly cheaper (~$AU23/yr with FB like)
    https://dns4me.net/pricing

    More importantly you can downloads the host file config (if you're running a dd-wrt router), rather then use their DNS servers which is much safer.

    GetFlix has a VPN service for DNS, but I'm not sure how much use that is to people)

    • zfa on 14/06/2015 - 18:46

      And I think DNS4Free allow you to access the service from three different IPs at the same time. Handy if you want to set it up at your folks or something as well. Their "we'll just check your dynamic IP hostname to keep your IP up-to-date in our system" is also useful for a lot of people who may already be using a service like no-ip.org, say. I think GetFlix do this as well now.

      • bxpressiv on 14/06/2015 - 18:56

        That's good to know, it would be handy to use it in 2-3 places for me. I might give it a trial.

      • [Deactivated] on 14/06/2015 - 20:46

        They've now got an Android app to change your Netflix location on the fly (and I assume it auto-updates your IP addr).

        DNS4me's customer service is quite good. I asked about getting willow.tv working (so I can watch WS vs Aus cricket highlights) They had a play & couldn't get the WIllow TV app working as it uses youtube mobile, but give me a list of hostnames to manually add via their USA proxy & use a browser(& not the app) & it works a treat!

    • ModaMagic on 14/06/2015 - 20:46

      Yeah dns4me is my favourite, especially with multiple IP's allowed. I've had no issues with them. You can split it between 3 households ;)

  • shev07 on 14/06/2015 - 18:58

      1. Close Netflix on your TV
      2. Sign up for Getflix
      3. Set your current IP address under your Getflix account
      4. Edit your TV's network settings, more specifically DNS addresses, to those Getflix provide
      5. Reopen Netflix

      The best way would be to change the DNS in your router settings to the address they give you when you sign up. It's easy to do. There's a tutorial on the getflix setup page ( https://getflix.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/202508460-Conf… ), as well as countless tutorials online for changing DNS for any specific router.

    Isnt the govt wanting to have an internet filter, Libs and Labour say they will both vote Yes for it.
    This filter will also be to block VPNs so they say.

    This Bill will make internet service providers police consumers’ downloads with an industry-run internet filter.
    But this isn’t just about stopping Pirate Bay - it covers sites for online tools like Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) that help consumers get around the ‘Australia tax’ and access legitimate content from overseas.
    The law will also prevent other parties from seeking to have site blocks removed, for example if it's in the public interest or it's blocked accidentally.

    • ausmechkeyboards on 14/06/2015 - 19:41

      They can't block VPNs. If not for how much it disrupts local businesses, then for the fact that a user can just do OpenVPN over SSL or SSH and the OpenVPN fingerprint is gone.

      • PVA on 14/06/2015 - 21:49
        +1

        I have no idea about this stuff. Can you point me to something that explains what you say please.

        Maybe what they will block is people finding VPN services - block access to the companies website so you cant sign up to start with.

        • ItsMeAgro on 15/06/2015 - 12:05

          @PVA Basically, the number one use of VPNs, worldwide, is for big and small businesses to connect their offices and remote workers securely.

          Blocking VPNs, if it were possible (it isn't) would stop that day-to-day operations of all major corporations around the world.

      Seriously? Look at the content available on AU Netflix. Then go look at the content on US Netflix. Then go look at the content on UK Netflix.

      If you can't see why this is a very small price to pay to access even just those 2 other regions, well…

    • OldBugger on 14/06/2015 - 20:44

    • Ronnnie on 15/06/2015 - 06:31

      Considering the vast array of extra content that can be found on the US Netflix it's worth the small couple of dollars a month. That's without all the other regions and services such as hulu plus etc.

  • lazybones1987 on 14/06/2015 - 19:46

    • PillowDefender on 14/06/2015 - 20:44

      Yep. It'll go towards your data, I will say however, it is worth it. The other UK, CAN & US Netflix have so much more to offer.

    • titus on 14/06/2015 - 21:46

      If you're watching Netflix Australia via Getflix then it doesn't count towards your quota but if you are watching another country's Netflix then it does count. I've tested this thoroughly and watching Netflix Australia (by having the Netflix region turned off in the Getflix region settings page) does not count. I'm with iinet.

      No you don't need a WRT router or VPN setup.

      Basically you can apply the Getflix DNS to your devices individually (xbox, tablets, phones, PC's etc) or you can also put the DNS #'s into your current router, provided you have one that is compatible. (some aren't capable of doing this, often the ones provided by larger ISP's fall into this category)

        • astero on 14/06/2015 - 23:21

          Thank guys - in my case I am actually paying a lower price currently than the promo, so I hope they treat my renewal at my old rate (in fact I think they have to because the Pay Pal subscription mentions the fixed subscription price).

        • Whatisthatvelvet on 16/06/2015 - 10:44

          @astero:

          Yeah just checked mine also in Paypal. Currently pay $9au every 3 months which probably works out the roughly the same as the current promo. And Ive been on this plan for quite awhile since when they were Aussie based, so yeah you should get renewed at the same rate as your currently on.

        • astero on 16/06/2015 - 12:14

          @wheresthebeef:

          Thanks for the info - I'm on AU$15.98 for 6 months so definitely sticking to my current offer for as long as it keeps renewing at this rate.

    • Unknown1 on 15/06/2015 - 13:12
      +1

      Receiving a DMCA notice, depends on the VPN service used. Some VPN services will maintain logs of a user's activities such as using torrents and might take action if sent a DMCA, while other VPNS keep no logs of a user's activities which decreases the user's chances of receiving a DMCA.

      Regardless of using a VPN which advertises no logging you can still be caught, if a VPN service lies about keeping logs. Additionally, you can be caught if a VPN leaks your ip address or if a VPN disconnects while you are downloading a torrent.

      Regarding a DMCA notice they are rarely sent to people who download, since courts will only charge you for the cost of downloading a single movie/movies. While, uploaders/seeders can be charged for the amount of times a movie was downloaded by other people. However, for a person to be successful sued for uploading a movie, courts will need evidence that person uploaded that movie and that it was not another person for example a neighbour using your WIFI.

      Note: Look into TOR for true online privacy.

      You could use a Socks 5 Torrent proxy so that only your torrent traffic uses the vpn/torrent endpoint in a different country.

    if i really just wanted netflix.com then TVunblock.com would be cheapest, followed i think by uflix

      Have it working at my place on 2 chromecasts, but have to block google dns and public dns in your router as they are hardcoded in the chromecast. Mine wouldn't work with overseas content until I did this. There's likely instructions somewhere for your router.

    Can this be used from 2 different locations simultaneously to stream from 2 different netflix relgions? i.e. i use at at home for netflix US, gf uses it at her home to stream netflix AU? simultaneously?

      No, only one IP will work at a time. Someone linked dns4me before which allows 3 IPs for about $23 a year.
