EDIT: ENDS MIDNIGHT TONIGHT - 29/01/2016.

Hi everyone,

Over the last few days we have been hearing news that a lot of people still can't access USA Netflix. The OzBargain community has always been good to us, and we enjoy conversing with the community. For that reason we are running a special for you guys who may still be blocked. Even if you are already a member you can take advantage of this deal.

We are going to run a special starting today and ending Friday, 29th Jan. The deal is $16 AUD for 12 months of our service. All you need to do is use the coupon code "unblockme" when checking out and the deal will be applied to your account.

As usual, we will be here throughout the day to answer any questions you may have, or just general chat about what has been going on recently.

Thanks!

what's the benefit of this service versus other services such as Hola, Zenmate, etc
- Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 26/01/2016 - 10:11

  I have not heard of Zenmate. Hola is not really a secure service in my opinion. If you are a free user, you are used as an exit node. That is extremely dangerous as another user can use your network for illegal activities.
  
  Thanks.

  Don't use hola, it makes your IP available to someone else so anything dodgy they might do will lead back to you…

  Cant say i have heard of zenmate, but only extremely un net savvy people use hola, been screamed all over the net not to use it
  - brake on 27/01/2016 - 16:59
    
    I've always wondered if the paid version of Hola is better in regards to this "p2p" style of connection, does anyone know? Because honestly, Hola is very convenient and the list of countries at the click of button is so, just… easy. I wouldn't mind paying their small fee for their exact service, only a secure version.

Not a bad offer, but given that your website already has the below, I think I'll steer clear for now

"Some users are starting to have issues with Netflix blocking non-Australian content when going through uFlix. Though it is only affecting a few users at the moment, we expect this number to grow."

It also says you are working on a solution, but are you sure of what Netflix will do or whether a solution will actually be found.

  Im an "unblockus" user for many years and i got the "We have detected an unblocker please remove etc" message when trying US netflix. THe entire thing is a joke, it literally takes moments to find dozens of these services and grab their dns addresses and add them to the black lists that netflix is supposed to be using.

    That is not how proxy identification works. It is not the DNS IP's that get blacklisted, it is the proxy IP's. They are much harder to find.

johnno1987 on 26/01/2016 - 10:19

Great service. However I have noticed that while I can change region to UK, every title that is not available in Australia says it has trouble playing. So is the fix only applicable to USA? I have not been on in 2 days so this may have been fixed but would be good to get an answer from the rep.

  Hi,
  
  The initial fix was for USA as that was the priority network to get back up and running. We did however fix UK yesterday night (so that node is back in business). Germany and Canada are only "starting" to get issues, and we are going to be fixing them within 48 hours, but they are currently working for most users.
  
  If you get a problem with USA or UK, please submit a ticket as both of those networks are working.
  
  Thanks.
  - johnno1987 on 26/01/2016 - 10:32
    
    Thanks for the quick response. Any chance we may see more countries added in the near future? The netflix catalogue deal a couple of weeks ago showed some fantastic movies available in some of the smaller regions that would be great to have access to.

      Hi,
      
      So, uFlix is a basic unblocker which is why it only costs $2 per month. We will be adding more regions, but it will never be a full unblocking service like the big boys.
      
      We are releasing a sister-service soon, and that will have a lot of regions, channels, VPN, etc. It will be slightly more expensive, but that will be more suitable to the heavy usage users who need more than simple unblocking.
      
      Thanks.

just curious what if netflix does something that you cannot get around? would you provide partial refunds to those who commits to 12 months since the service wouldn't be able to be used for the entire 12 months?

    I think the only time this would be useless would be if Netflix block users to the region they signed up for.
  - Agret on 26/01/2016 - 12:50
    
    What if they use the account info of the viewer since they know what country your account payments are made from and what home region the account was created in. I can't see a way around that from your end.

      Just a thought on that - if that was to happen, would that not mean that if you fly over to the USA and login to Netflix, you will be accessing Australian content not licensed in the USA? They would be breaching their licensing terms through their own doing if that was to happen.
      
      Thanks.
    - Agret on 26/01/2016 - 12:57
      
      @uFlix: no, you would be unable to use the service from outside of your home country. This is how most Netflix competitors function and is a licensing agreement with their content providers.
      
      I watched a bit of Netflix on my phone when I was in Europe though so I hope this doesn't happen.

      @Agret: Then we are back at square 1 with an additional step. Sign up for a USA account and then go through the proxy. It would be a pain for the user, but we will still be providing the unblock for it.
      
      I highly doubt Netflix will do that though. They have a lot of users who use their service just because they can unblock.
      
      And if Netflix ever removes region and goes global, that would be even better. The licensing for countries is old and should no longer exist.
- ninetyNineCents on 26/01/2016 - 14:51
  
  Worst case they will just keep changing their dns server ip addresses, until the next time when the new ip gets banned.
  
  THese services should at least try and avoid making these addresses public so the netflixes of the world cant find them quite this easily.
  - Talonparty on 27/01/2016 - 02:55
    
    The DNSs aren't detected by anyone, the DNS is contacted by your computer which makes a query along the lines of 'I'm looking for netflix, please direct me to my closest address' and it's there that the trickery occurs. Instead of being redirected to your local CDN you are redirected to what I assume was originally just the US/whatever country content server and now is a proxy or something. I'm guessing though but the point is the same, that there's no detection of DNS addresses and hiding the addresses wouldn't change a thing.

  I'd Netflix are chasing the exit IP address the ISPs can fix that, if Netflix start checking the user id and country of origin then the ISP can't fix that….. Netflix needs to keep the copyright holders happy and be seen to be trying….. but would Netflix want people leaving because they can't access USA content from Australia …. probably not which will factor in how hard they try to balance blocking vs copyright holder concerns .

to answer the questions I keep seeing here

this is simply a dns change setup
you are paying for dns information to bypass geoblocking from Netflix

it will work with all your devices that allow you to set a manual dns entry

for example

most smart tvs

xbox one and ps4

computers and laptops

tablets both windows and android

i assume you sign up and your external WAN IP is linked to your account allowing netflix to work externally via their dns servers

in regards to not allowing refunds if the service didnt perform as expected not sure how the accc would see this in australia

if i paid for 12months and say 6 months in you couldnt get around a block ( in theory probably never going to happen) i would expect a partial refund as you aren't providing me with a service i pay for as is or not as is

i suggest people use paypal as a choice of payment as youll get 6 months coverage in case this provider goes bellyup and its safe insurance for your money

although from everything im reading this looks like a good deal and seems to have mostly positive reviews

im most likely going to buy it and see hoe it goes im sure it wont disappoint me from the positive comments im reading and excellent customer support

Good deal but imo in the short term Netflix will respect content owners rights and block geo-blocking, they could do this with relatively ease just by enforcing US credit cards with verified US address. In the long run geo-blocking won't be required because content owners will be begging Netflix to stream their content!

  Because it just uses the DNS the video streams are not proxied and come through at the full speed of your connection. The DNS can be entered into your router and every device on your home network will receive the US Netflix without having to enter any proxy / VPN details.

    Just thought I'd ask as it seems that these smart DNS services are going to have a difficult next 12 months. A last minute cash grab (discounted 12mth/life subscriptions) as a form of death rattle is common for newsgroup trackers and this may be a similar situation.

      You will never see uFlix or Oeck (a new service we are launching) ever offer lifetime subscriptions. We offer what we can afford to offer at the time. We also interact with our members as much as possible, which is why Oeck will have community forums with it.

  Hi,
  
  Unblock-Us are a much larger proxy service. They offer more regions and channels than we do. uFlix is a "simple" proxy service mainly aimed at USA Netflix unblocking. Although we do offer a handful of regions and a couple of channels, we are not a full proxy service. Which is why ours is only $2 per month. It is made for people who don't need a million channels unblocked.
  
  Thanks.

      Hi,
      
      If all you need is USA then uFlix will be more than enough for your needs.
      
      Thanks.

  I use Getflix, they have a mobile app that can quickly update your IP and change regions via a menu.

  No problem. Come work for us for free and I am sure we can arrange something. We pull long hours, 7 days a week. Including public holidays.
  
  Thanks.

      That's too bad then :( For the time being I guess discounts to the community is probably the way to go.
      
      Thanks.
