Hi everyone,

So, we have managed to yet again stay ahead of the blocks. We love OzBargain and we are aware of the lengths Netflix is going to keep Australian's out of the USA. We normally run 12 month unblocking specials for you guys, but we have decided to try something new. We are doing a special for 3 months for $6 to gain access to USA Netflix, Hulu and BBC iPlayer. This is a non-recurring deal (it is a once-off purchase) and is not stackable if you are an existing uFlix customer. We have kept the duration and price low for users. This is primarily targeted towards users who are locked out of the USA. If you are happy with the service you can purchase a subscription with us or switch over to us after the 3 month period ends.

Here is some extra information that you guys may want to know -

  1. This is not guaranteed to work for ALL users and devices (due to a multitude of variables to do with Netflix). We allow a 3 day free trial for you to test the service. Please note, if your device is having difficulties getting through to USA Netflix, please read https://uflix.com.au/netflix-update/ before submitting a support ticket.

  2. We can not provide support on OzBargain or through PM. Please submit a support ticket at http://uflix.com.au in order to get support.

  3. At the time of this post we support USA Netflix alone. We are working on a different unblocking method to see if we can again gain access to other countries, however, due to the large cost of each region and the complexity of it, only USA is supported for the time being. USA will always be our #1 priority when it comes to Netflix regions.

  4. No, you do not need a uRouter in most cases. DNS alone should work for 90% of you. The uRouter is for VPN's and should be a last resort if DNS alone fails. Please test our service and ask questions before purchasing a router.

  5. We will always try our best to unblock USA Netflix, even with their crazy aggression. We can not guarantee that there will be zero downtime for everyone. It all depends how quickly we can work around their blocks - so far the longest period of time we have been down for has been 6 hours.

The deal will end on Sunday, 26th @ 12:00pm - All purchases must be made before this time.

If you guys have any other questions please feel free to post them here and we will reply as soon as we can.

Thanks.

        Hi,

        For Apple TV you will need to add static routes to the router ( https://uflix.com.au/netflix-update/ ) as suggested in the description. This should fix the Apple TV and work without issue. The Xbox is a hit or miss device, and there is a chance static routes may also fix the issue there.

        Thanks.

      Hola is a great choice if you don't mind your home network being used as an exit node for who knows what. If you are happy to take on that risk, then Hola is absolutely a great solution.

      If you prefer your privacy and security, a good company with a privacy policy outlining what they do is a better option, but costs money.

      Do you guys have one method that is working, or continuously trying to stay ahead of Netflix? What would happen if say half way through the subscription your method gets blocked (perhaps as yor service gets a huge influx of users through the deal)
      Also thanks for the great deal.

      • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 22/06/2016 - 12:35

        Hi,

        The method we are currently using is working. We have also stayed ahead of the bans. The longest we have been down for since Netflix got extremely aggressive was 6 hours, and then we were online again.

        If we get blocked we get blocked, and we just need to work around the blocks as per usual. This is not a surprise attack. All VPN and smartDNS providers are facing the exact same issue and it is nothing new. We regularly get our networks banned and it is just part of the game. We just work and come up with ways to get unbanned. But like I said, the longest we were down for was 6 hours, and then services were restored.

        I hope this answers your question.

        Thanks.

        • Maz78 on 22/06/2016 - 14:17

          In the unlikely chance it gets permanent banned, no, no refunds will be issued as users know how these types of services work. We will however (regardless) be adding other things in place of Netflix which will not cost the user extra.

      Is the game of cat and mouse completely IP address based, or are there some other techniques that are used to implement blocks? For example, how (and how come) are some types of devices blocked?

      • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 22/06/2016 - 13:05
        +4

        This is an extremely difficult question but I will try and answer it the best I can.

        We can not say with certainty exactly how they are flagging it. We do know for certainty that they are banning IP addresses and entire IP pools (extremely large ones at that).

        The devices are app based. Some apps will have a fix for them by adding static routes, but it will cause other apps to break on different devices by using static routes. This is clever, because it means there is randomness with the devices. To put it simply, it is a huge pain in the arse for the end user to have to choose between one device and another, thus persuading the user to give up on unblocking and stick to their own region.

        Thanks.

        • zzyss on 22/06/2016 - 13:09

          Thanks for the candid response!

          So it's kinda like Netflix themselves are building in "phone home" capabilities into their apps to get around geoblocking, hence static routes. Certainly explains the mobile apps ("Bug fixes" indeed)

          At least with the IP addresses, it's been suggested that unblocking services should try and find a residential ISP to partner with, so that the pool of IP addresses used can't be blocked without affecting legitimate users. Other than lack of co-operation from ISPs, is there any technical reason why this couldn't be pursued an option?

        • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 22/06/2016 - 13:13
          +3

          @zzyss:

          You're welcome.

          The phone-home is a simple way to put it. Google's DNS use to be able to be blocked and that would fix the issue. Now some of the apps (notice I say SOME) will fail if Google's DNS is blocked. This means the only way around it is by modifying IP Tables. Very few routers can do this, so for the most part the user is stuck.

          That is why we released the uRouter - a nice cheap router which allows you to piggyback from your main network. This is a good solution, however, again, it is not guaranteed to work. But for $30 odd, it is a good device to have laying around regardless.

          I can't really give an answer to the rest of your question unfortunately. Sorry.

      Hi,

        My knowledge of IT is pretty limited at this point, but when you mention that it's not guaranteed to work on all devices due to multiple variables, would one of them be the actual network you are on? (i.e. one hotel i travel to might work when i supply the new IP address with uFlix, but the next destination/hotel might not work?)

      You can either change the DNS in the TV itself, or directly in your router if your TV does not have that option. It should then unblock USA Netflix for you.

      Thanks.

    Feedback for those interested in this:

    I signed up to give it a go as a first time user trying to access US Netflix. Signup was quick and easy and there is a range of info on setting up devices on the uFlix website. First time registrations will give you 3 days of free access to trial.

    Within 10 minutes I was accessing the US content on my ipad without any problem but failed in being able to cast it to Chromecast. Couple of hours of trying things and following the steps on uFlix I still wasn't able to.

    Haven't tried any other service but this one so far is worth the cost they are charging.

      Hi,

      For the Chromecast you may need to setup IP Tables if the DNS fails by blocking it as described in https://uflix.com.au/troubleshooting/

      If blocking Google's DNS still fails then unfortunately IP Tables is the next step, and most routers will not support them.

      Thanks.

        Yep, thanks. Tried IP Tables in my DDWRT and still no go :(

    What happens if I test it out (for the 3 days) on one computer but actually want to use it on another?

    Will i have issues because of the IP?

      Hi,

      On another computer in the house? It will be fine. If you want to use it elsewhere, you must login to uFlix from that location to update your IP address, then it will work.

      Thanks.

    After taking a break from netflix US after the recent exclusions, I'm back with uflix, and it's good to see a proper catalog again. Thanks uflix.
