      MINOR updates means once you move off windows 10, or possibly earlier if they have big feature changes, you're done for. This is not a lifetime licence in any sense of the word.

          @scupper:

          Interesting, but what do you reckon the timeline is for them to force people off IPV4? Or possibly ISPs only offering IPV6 as they've exhausted their IPv4 addresses?

          Probably before 30 years you would guess but perhaps we'll have a global mode or a holideck.

        • justtoreply on 25/09/2015 - 10:57

          Usually programs that get updated for a new OS get a 'major' version upgrade. Regardless of not changing features.

          With windows 10 out you'll probably be ok for a while, with a likely major version change when win11 comes out.

          For example, I've been debating if I'll commit to netlimiter again due to their pricing policy. Major version change just due to win10. On some software I want true lifetime expirations, even if the initial cost is greater.

          PS: Comments below - if it's just lengthening your subscription then I find it hard to know whether 'major upgrade limitations' are enforcable.

          I'm also not saying it's a bad price - it's good, really. Even if it only lasts 3 years.

      I don't believe you can set DNS on Chromecast unless your router allows you to set custom DNS. For example : BigPond Modems don't allow it , unless you bridge it to another router.

      • rifter on 24/09/2015 - 23:52

        A TeamEureka rooted Chromecast will allow you to change Chromecast DNS settings. Unfortunately if you have used your Chromecast it cannot be rooted, you need a brand new Chromecast and it must have a suitable build number (most do).

          No, it's not. Google DNS is always 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. If you've blocked those, of course it's set and forget.

          @dazweeja:Yes I know :p
          What happens is some apps with geo location and adds rely on the Google dns. Kinda hard-coded like chromecast and if you have auto update on apps the initial sync buggy . That's my investigation do far but I do have multiple firewalls within my internal network. Happy to be wrong

        • 777 on 27/09/2015 - 05:14

          Will be looking at it but I know my chromecast every now and then will throw me geo location error even with the Google dns blocked, my proxy dns enabled on router routing done for the Google and optus dns. I do have a optus cable modem. Also tried the getflix dns same thing.

      • dogboy on 25/09/2015 - 08:34

        Same with Optus cable routers even though Optus swear they haven't modified the firmware..they have. Only way to do it is as your said by bridging another router.

      So is it like normal getflix they can be added to the router.
      What does the 10 device activation means, that they add the Mac address if each device in database sitting behind the router using it?. Would be a flaw if associates each browser as a a device

      • [Deactivated] on 25/09/2015 - 00:42

        So the 10 devices I haven't figured out yet … AFAIK it only lets 1 IP address in the portal.

        • 777 on 25/09/2015 - 01:00

          one ip per session is their restriction on normal accounts as well. Wouldn't be much of a deal for me if add each Mac/uuid for each devices as I would personally need double than that :p

        • neil on 25/09/2015 - 01:24

          @777:

          There isn't anything in the manage section or help about devices.

          • 1 IP address at a time
          • 3 VPN connections at a time
          • 1 DNS over VPN at a time

          I'm trying to remember my networking knowledge but I don't believe MAC addresses of internal devices are sent outside the router? Only the MAC address of the router would be seen by the DNS server.

        • 777 on 25/09/2015 - 01:41

          @neil:
          No it does
          There are different ways to it. Like at work we use Tr069 protocol and then we also use the browser uuid via vindicia like the information being sent as headers. They might use TCP not UDP periodically to check the device .

          The bad part it if you access using three browser on a same device the not the app, some dms will register as different devices, which in my opinion is a (some for some it is advance feature.)

          Damn Google, they took my DNA proxy server down after they knew what I was doing. Personally using AWS trails month to month. This would be perfect If they don't register devices

        • dazweeja on 25/09/2015 - 11:08

          @777:

          All of that is easily solved on a router with DD-WRT/Tomato/Merlin/etc. Nothing on my network can make an outgoing connection on port 53. The router intercepts and forwards all DNS requests.

        • 777 on 27/09/2015 - 05:22

          @dazweeja: so your browser headers are not passed ?
          We intercept the browser header and create a unique identifier for them which gets updated in the dms as part of subscription and identity management

    • Smigit on 25/09/2015 - 10:49
      +1

      Yes and Yes. Netflix provides content based on your current location, not the billing region. This service detects when you are authenticating to Netflix, Hulu etc and routes the traffic in such a way that it appears to come from the US, UK etc and in turn Netflix, Hulu etc will show content from those regions. Services that aren't supported will be treated as local traffic still.

      You can configure the DNS either on a device (PC, console etc) or on your home router as a catch all (in which case all devices using the default network settings will inherit those settings). Personally I just use the router.

      The one thing to note is that if you have unmetered Netflix, Xbox Live etc, then that may no longer be unmetered by your ISP if you use the GetFlix DNS instead of the ISP one.

    Do we not get access to fast servers in the future? No IPV6? Do I need to worry that the service gets flooded by users and gets unusable?

    I have a subscription which expires in November … so good timing.But when a company starts offering lifetime services it's for me always a CAUTION sign … worth a gamble but the service needs to stay active and usable for around 2.5 years to break even.

    • db1 on 25/09/2015 - 06:15

      Does it really matter. Getflix has been a wonderful service and I hope that buying a lifetime subscription will keep them in business for as long as possible. Who knows what will happen in the coming years. At least we can have this while it lasts as long as possible and without any further cost. The VPN service also works great and it costs around $50 US per year from many other providers like PureVPN.

        Mhhh … it matters to me (but I understand where you are coming from). I like Getflix and it's a wonderful and great service.

        But I would not like subscribing to a lifetime service just to find out some (short) time late that it's not usable anymore. It sounds like a great offer (2.5 years is not that long) … but the yearly fee is also not too bad and you keep the flexibility.

        • GameChanger on 25/09/2015 - 07:02

          Agree the offer doesn't add up. Either they have been charging excessively or they expect to be out of business in near future.

        • nonpop on 25/09/2015 - 07:24
          +2

          @gamechanger: I think the same. Makes me think that when a company dumps the price and offers 'lifetime' for a price then could they be out of business soon. They may get a blast of revenue now, but how do they then sustain a business that costs money to run when the annuity revenue stops.

        • Smigit on 25/09/2015 - 12:35

          @nonpop: It is a promotion but through a third party. Their own site isn't offering any lifetime plans. I don't know for myself, but I'd have though that once the initial setup was done that maintaining GetFlix wouldn't be overly expensive either, particularly due to them not being dependant on shipping clients to different platforms (Windows, Macs, etc) since it's all backend network trickery that'd connected to by standardised config on the client side.

          They have started to dabble in other areas such as VPN's etc, so there's potential avenue there.

          It actually wouldn't shock me if they or other similar services ended up partnering with other companies producing hardware so that devices could use region switching as a saleable feature on the box.

    • Junli on 28/09/2015 - 02:29

    Would love to know how this differs to a regular subscription?

    Thanks, my one year subscription was due to start at 08:02 today. I got into my PayPal account and cancelled it, and bought this one instead. I'm ahead even if getflix goes under, as I had already committed to a higher price.

    could be silly question, but will this work as a VPN for torrents?

      Good question in terms of the extra VPN they mention.

      • spacebanana on 25/09/2015 - 09:56

        Yeah exactly, also a a bit confused on the 10 devices it says you can use

      Interested to know too and how it relates to 10 devices. I'm not understanding as when I used the trial, I had to change the DNS settings on my router. If I do that, where does 10 devices come into play as there isn't really any software installed on each local machine?

      I presume in a household all running the same public IP (internal IP's would be different obviously for each machine) then there is no device limit?

      Is there additional software for the VPN feature? Supported operating systems?

      Yes, you can

      I've used the VPN for a few small torrents

    • nstyle on 25/09/2015 - 11:42

      Yep it does. I've been using it for a few months now

        How are your speeds.
