it's not just Overplay's smartDNS that does not work anymore

I have tried a few other smartDNS services (such as Unotelly, unblockus, smartydns, cactusvpn) and no one works anymore.

One thing is for sure, all confidence is lost in the service, and that's simply not good enough for a pay service.
If AJS are preventing them access, it's not Overplay's fault. Their service appears to be working for other channels. We all knew that this was a possibility when we signed up and we all knew we would be breaking AJS's T&Cs by using a DNS service... All AJS are doing is enforcing their T&Cs!

Anyone know if PLP is working OK with Overplay or any other DNS service?

Agreed.

Also, to answer your question, the reply games at least are still working with the PLP iOS app via Overplay. I can not test any live games obviously.

That said, the same risk applies for PLP, and they only offer a full season or day pass.

PLP is still working here ok with SmartDNS. It's anyone's guess as to how long for, though.

Thanks Jo.
I remember you mentioning that you were quite well connected to the guys at Overlay. If you could find out from them, if the problem is at Overplay/UnoDNS's etc's end, or if it's being caused by AJS, it might help eliminate a lot of speculation, once and for all.
Cheers.

The problem is being caused by AJS blocking the ip's of the DNS servers

Fortunately this is not correct. Ive logged in on my Mac and iPhone many times, and watched different AJS channel without a problem. I would try to space out the "logins" by a few minutes, but that's just to prevent the "multiple sign-in" problem that some people experienced.

However, PLP clearly state they only allow one log-in... Haven't tested it though.
I asked both via email and both said strictly one login at a time to me.

Have you tried it?
Until Saturday night (the last time I did so) simultaneously being logged in and streaming from both my iPhone and Mac, was working.

Perhaps there has been a change since then, but I hope not

Working for me too. Except my streams freeze after 30 seconds which is really irritating.

Interestingly, the free Al Jazeera streams don't freeze at all.

Think this might be the end of it to be honest unless OverPlay come up with something special.

Rewinding 2 mins solves it completely. Cheers to whoever tipped that one!

I think hola works differently to overplay etc, has hola actually gone off yet?!

I can't get the "country select menu" up again. How do I get it back?? Really annoying as the Al Jazeera hola script doesn't work. Or can someone link to a script that does work please?
I solved this for those interested.... Don't install the hola desktop app, it doesn't work. At all. Install the chrome extension.

The rewinding by one minute trick has produced a perfect stream for me for the last hour or so dropping for 30 seconds maybe twice

Thanks for that. 5 mins in, it's streaming at the high quality now after rewinding the stream.

If overplay give everyone the same SmartDNS servers then it's easy for AJS to block them.

What we need is individual SmartDNS servers.

Maybe DIY SmartDNS is the way to go.

Or have them buy a block of say 255 ip's and every request changes like a sort of load balancer?!
