Unotelly stopped working for me. Tried all the various US Tests on region picker. No joy. I've opened a ticket.

You could not make it up could you i think there better off officially not supporting netflix any more rather jumping through hoops and getting nowhere

My ticket is still "Awaiting Response". I'll give them a day or two and if I get nothing back will cancel for now.

unblock-us stopped working for me on PS4, android tablet and phone.

tried disconnect VPN also and netflix has blocked that also. I have netflix for next 12 months free with vodafone but once thats done, if there still no work around then thats me done with netflix.

now I got to go and find other ways to watch parks and recreation.

Yep spoke too soon as no regions are working for me now. I am on the yearly package so I can't cancel until August. Pirate Bay will have to be my source for the shows I watch on other regions.

Hey guys,

I found another unblocker who looks kind of promising. From what i understand it gives you a new personnal IP every time you connect to Netflix or Hulu or whatever, so it defeats the way netflix is cracking down on unblocker.

I only started using it today and it seems to work fine, and since you can try it for fre until july, it's worth a try.

https://borderlessinternet.com if you want to check it out.
They are no longer accepting new customers at the moment.

Well Unotelly emailed back suggesting US test options. I'd already tried them, so cancelled with them and Netflix. I'll sign back up when/if they figure out a workaround.

After getting my android box I no longer need Netflix or any subscriptions it's a shame that they have caused me to go down the dark side of pirating but how else will I watch certain US shows I love

Only problem is I am only on season 2 on parks and recreation and can't find any working streams on kodi.

Dave on catch up doesn't go that far back so no boxset option. If not downloading I have to buy the DVD/blu ray.

It's BS!!

Personally now I am fed up with Unotelly. They were cocky that they would be able to beat the Netflix block and yet now it doesn't work on any regions. They are ignoring emails and now have a cheek to only advertise the service for privacy! What about those like myself who paid a yearly subscription for what what was advertised at the time?
On the subject of the block itself how are Netflix detecting proxies? From what I have read experts on the subject seem to think Netflix are blocking ISP's where lots of other people are streaming Netflix at the same time? This would make sense because where I work they use a US Proxy and Netflix still works from this.

I think its time for all of these unblocker companies to officially drop support for region changing on netflix this is a battle they are not going to win

Here's an email from Unotelly that was sent to a member or AVForums.

Thanks for reaching us here at UnoTelly and we are sorry to hear about your inconvenience.

As for the moment we are prioritising US Netflix, Other regions maybe broken but we do not have any ETA as when will this be fixed.

For US Netflix, as of now, our fix is only guaranteed to work on Windows, Mac, ATV 4 and Samsung Smart TV. Other device are still being fixed by our engineering team. We will let you know once done.


Best Regards,
Joseph

Your probably find that some content will work but a lot wont even in the same streaming country i will not be renewing my netflix after this month.

When it gets to the point where you spend more time trying to get around restrictions than actually watching contents it time to admit defeat and give up

Well I watched a few TV shows and AntMan on NF Ca using G**F**X today, all fine, via iPad or Apple TV v3.

I am aware of the general issues with NF at the moment. Some say the apps on mobile devices are/have been updated with a proxy check etc.

I think theirs multiple things going on. When using unotelly adfreetime etc eventually it seemed they locked my account from accessing any other regions. ( my American friebd could not log into my account and kept getting ''this content is not avaible in your region (gb) )

Being lucky at it got in to the borderless internet free trial to july This has worked amazingly accept from a few down times here and their. All content works ( Girlfriend currently watching lost girl on the ps3 has watched up to season 3 since starting to use BI) All in all I think borderless internet have cracked it. It works on all devices I've tested ps4 ps3 samsung tv finlux tv youview box xb1 s6. Aprently they are using and ip method.

Also for those having problems with getting it to work on playstation or any other device just simply make sure your on wired and most important put the dns in your router until I did this I got no where and was ready to give up !
