Edit: sorry everyone, didn't realise ozbargain expires the deal the day after it is set. We will keep the deal running through until Monday night (tonight).

Hi everyone,

This offer is for a 12 month subscription to uFlix for $15.

uFlix is a service that allows you to expand your Netflix content library using technology known as smartDNS. It also allows you to unblock Hulu and BBC iPlayer.

By masking your location and making you appear in a different country (region), Netflix will display different content depending on where you tell it you are. This is simply done by a click on your uFlix control panel.

How do I use my coupon?
Once you sign up for free, go to "subscription" in your control panel and type in "Oeck" in the coupon box and click save.

Deal Information:
After much discussion we have decided to run one last deal for uFlix. Later this year we are going to be changing the company name and expanding services we provide (Free VPN's, Paid VPN's, more channels, more devices, apps). OzBargain is a great community and we will run this deal one last time for the people who missed it last time. All uFlix customers will have free account upgrades with the release of uFlix v2 (which will change its name to Oeck).

Please note, you will only have until the 14th to make the payment. This deal can not be stacked on top of the two week free trial we offer.

I will be here to answer any questions you guys have and I look forward to speaking to all of you.

Thanks.

    Looks a good deal, but what is the difference between getflix and uflix?
    Getflix is dearer but gets a lot more channels? Am I missing something ?

  • ITveteran on 10/09/2015 - 14:51

    Hi Rep. Couple of months ago I subscribed to trial and it did not work due to IPV6 cannot be disabled on my router (D-LINK DIR-850L), according to your technical support. I wonder this issue has been overcome?

    Wish there were more regions now as only one has gone live since launch. Know there are all coming and I have sooooo much to watch atm but do want more regions.

    Still, am a very happy user.

      Hi Miso,

      We have been focusing our efforts on Oeck. So we will add new regions to uFlix, but since uFlix is going to become Oeck, you will see a lot of new regions there.

      I'm happy to hear you are a happy customer :)

      What purpose would that serve? Would you really expect an unbiased reply?

      To be clear, I'm not affiliated in anyway with Uflix. In fact, I'm currently using Getflix.

      You are quite welcome to compare yourself instead of leaving it to a rep. uflix lets you access other netflix country libraries and hulu, i believe unblockus does that and more, however you do pay more if i understand correctly.

  • carlitos on 10/09/2015 - 15:37

    Can someone explain the real benefit here? I wouldn't want the DNS on my router or even my xbox always set to a different countries DNS. Do you manually enable this everytime you want to watch a movie?

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 10/09/2015 - 16:16

      Hi carlitos,

      The DNS set in your router or device will only make you appear in a different country for channels only. Anything else you do remains unaffected. You do not need to change your DNS once set.

      Thanks.

      Hi Zinger,

      Yes you will. However, you will only be able to use it at one location at a time. So you can't have someone at home using uFlix and you using it at the same time at the office. But you can use the service on either.

  • pumpkinspice on 10/09/2015 - 19:07

    I have issues with this service where the region switching doesn't work.
    I don't know if it's a user error, but I switch the region, wait for it to apply, keep hitting refresh on Netflix and it won't change regions.

    I've logged two support tickets about this.
    One ticket where switching regions actually stopped Netflix from working altogether, I could reach the main site but after logging in Netflix would time out, multiple region changes would not work and the only thing that fixed it was going back to the original region I started with that day.
    The second ticket was where the region switching just didn't work, or would take several minutes to work.

    I've had the same problem today, even setting the region to Turn Off still did nothing and I was stuck with US Netflix. I can't be bothered logging new support ticket about this as it seems it's just regular behaviour of the service.

    I'm annoyed I paid for 12months up front, otherwise I'd be switching to Getflix.
    If anyone else has had this experience please say so, or if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong causing it to fail.
    I have it set up in the Network Card settings in Windows 8.1. I've tried clearing cookies to see if that helps but to no avail.

    I hope other people get a more reliable service with uflix than I do.

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 10/09/2015 - 19:10

      Hi legiong,

      There is most likely a cache issue on your device. Was your issue resolved in both tickets you submitted? I can look it up to confirm if you like?

      Thanks.

      • pumpkinspice on 10/09/2015 - 19:15

        The issue was resolved in both tickets.
        I've been with uflix for about 3 months and I've had region switching issues at least 5 times.
        It seems an unstable service.

        Do you get many reports across your user base of region switching failing?

        • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 10/09/2015 - 19:20

          Hi legiong,

          No we don't. The very vast majority of tickets are due to the customers IP changing and requiring them to just log back in to uFlix.

          If your ticket was sorted both times, it sounds very much like a cache issue with your devices. If you run into this problem in the future, do the following.

          Computer -
          Step 1. Clear cache in the browser.
          Step 2. Close the browser.
          Step 3. Flush your DNS.
          Step 4. Open browser.
          Step 5. Try again.

          Other Devices -
          Step 1. Log out of Netflix and completely shut down the app.
          Step 2. Restart your device.
          Step 3. Log back into Netflix via your app.
          Step 4. Try again.

          You should not need to do this with every region change. However, sometimes devices do odd things, and usually it is cache related.

          Thanks.

        • pumpkinspice on 10/09/2015 - 21:10

          @uFlix:
          Thanks. I'll keep that in mind for next time.

          @uFlix:

          Interesting update though, I gave up that and decided to try Germany, when I refreshed the browser (I didn't clear anything this time) now it loads Netflix Australia.

        • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 10/09/2015 - 21:53

          @legiong:

          Try switching it to "Turn Off" and see what it does. It should show AU Netflix. Then try another region.

          Since you are in Australia, you should set your region to "Turn Off" when you want to view Australian content.

      Hi dazzza,

      It permanently unblocks iPlayer as iPlayer is free. It will unblock Hulu during the hulu trial period and during the subscription period. You will however need a Hulu subscription once your Hulu free trial expires.

      If you meant your uFlix trial - Once your uFlix trial runs out, nothing will be unblocked anymore.

    Tried on a previous free-trial, but found that US Netflix was slow enough to cause the video to pixelate and break up.

    I have a 100Mbps cable connection with an Apple TV connected via Ethernet, so I was unsure what was causing this - maybe Perth is at the end of a very long string of hops from the US?

    (Will probably try again anyway with this deal, but any clues welcome)

    • ITveteran on 11/09/2015 - 05:24

      Usually it takes several minutes before the software senses your connection is good enough for HD. I guess this may be due to the higher latency despite you are on 100mbps.

        This is correct.

    I am looking at doing this with my parents PS3

    2 questions

    1. I won't be able to update the IP address frequently - any issue with setting a Static address?
      per this - http://portforward.com/networking/staticip-ps3-playstation-3…

    2. I believe i will also have to use port forwarding on the modem with this static address then it should work (is this assumption correct?)

    Thankyou

      Hi sraven373,

      The IP we use to identify you is from your ISP. This, unless it is static (to your modem), will change from time to time. To update it, you just need to login to uFlix from any device on your home network.

      Thanks.

      Great to hear :)

    I was trying out a dns service the other day on my la;top, I was able to stream netflix US on my PC but when I tried to push it to my chromecast it didn't work (cnat recall the exact message. Would this be because the chromecast knew I was in Aus so it crapped out?

    • happychild100 on 11/09/2015 - 09:38

      Yer, chromecast uses google dns forced so it knows where you are regardless. Work around would be to stream the chrome tab rather than netflix itself. It's not as perfect but it gets the job done.

      • ellave on 11/09/2015 - 10:14

        ah ok thanks, bit of a bugger as streaming the tab messes with the resolution

      Hi ellave,

      Just set up static routes ( https://uflix.com.au/troubleshooting/ ) and it should work.

      Thanks.

  • kalt19 on 11/09/2015 - 09:32

    Thanks Rep.

    Will give it a go.

    Hi Rep. Does this somehow affect unmetered netflix on internode? read somewhere that for netflix to be unmetered, internode DNS must be used

    • ps3_andy on 11/09/2015 - 10:49

      You are correct, if you use this service it will no longer be unmetered and will count towards your monthly quota. It is only unmetered if you are using you ISP's default DNS.

      EDIT: I may not be correct, will wait for rep to confirm/destroy me.

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 11/09/2015 - 11:42

      Hi djprima,

      If you set your Netflix region in uFlix to "Turn Off", you will keep unmetered data on Australian Netflix (no need to change our DNS back to your ISP's). However, watching any Netflix region other than Australia will incur data.

      Thanks.

      • britta on 11/09/2015 - 13:44

        Oh crap. Really! I did not even think about that! Bugger!

        Im with Optus who offers unmetered Netflix

        • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 11/09/2015 - 14:22

          Hi britta,

          Yep. Selecting "Turn Off" will make your Netflix unmetered. However, it is only Australian Netflix. The other regions will still be metered. However, there is no need to change your DNS once it is set.

          Thanks.
