It works for me when I email them to say it's not working, they reply back that they "changed something" and it'll fix it for a while.

Yeah... coz 6 quid a month for thousands of hours of TV and Movies that are a million times better than actual TV would be just horrendous



:yawn:
I'm finding it harder and harder to find things to watch. Occasionally there's something to watch such as Black Mirror or Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (spelling?) Then it goes back to paying for Netflix but not finding enough to watch.

At the moment I'm finding more to watch on IMVBox than Netflix.

I only really watch Netflix Originals these days - but there's plenty of those to keep me occupied.

And also Designated Survivor (the new Kiefer Sutherland series) that they cheekily label as a 'Netflix Original' but is really just a new imported series.

I'm watching Designated Survivor, but I wouldn't really miss it if I didn't. There's loads on Netflix, but I'm not sure I'm their target audience.

Vipdnsclub still works for me. Not the cheapest @ $10 pm but for me worth it as I find Netflix US vastly superior to Netflix UK.

Absolute rip off imo.
Add HULU support £1.50 set up fee this is on top of £8p/m, no other smart dns or vpn charge extra for huku support as far as i'm aware.

Like I said they're not cheap, but they're one of the very few DNS companies who are determined to beat Netflix and don't give up easily. I suspect their price is high because they know they've not got much/any competition. Their service was only down for a few weeks in Sept/Oct and it has been working flawlessly since. Perhaps if the likes of borderlessinternet, unblockus, overplay etc made more of an effort to beat Netflix then companies such as vipdnsclub wouldn't need to charge OTT prices. Anyway i only paid £25 for my 12 month Netflix sub off an ebay seller (perfectly legit, NOT a shared account) so overall i'm paying around £11 pm incl vipdnsclub sub.

I got Getflix lifetime for $39.00 (£31 / €37) From here and it's still going strong, Netflix USA working fine as well as Amazon Prime (multi region), NBC Sports, Viaplay, Bein Sports etc. etc.

Seems it's even cheaper now at $29 (£23 / €28), and you can get an extra 10% off with the promo coupon code MISSYOU10

Overplay still worked for me with Netflix last time I tried them.

I agree with you on services throwing in the towell, i believe getflix are still trying they are $3.95pm also ibvpn are constantly trying $4.95pm but other than that the rest seem to of given up.
I no longer subscribe to netflix on protest of them blocking vpns why should i turn of my protection for them?
I now use other methods so to say which won't be discussed but i think you can imagine what lol.

What did you try it on? I have it working fine on PC and Amazon Fire TV (watching The OA as we speak), you have to block public DNS like Google and others at a router level.

Samsung TV. Inputted their DNS into that. I can't do anything at router level, it's a BT Home Hub 5 and you can't have anything but BT's DNS servers. I could buy my own router I suppose, but it's a lot of expense/trouble to go to for a decent one.

I don't think you need a particularly expensive router just find a dd-wrt compatible on Ebay/Amazon second hand and you're good to go, definitely worth it IMO.

I use Unlocator and Netflix is working for me on iPad and PS4, but not on AppleTV App or Web.

No idea why the difference all use the same network.

I use a DNS service as I when I moved here (Cyprus) Netflix wasn't available, not sure it is worth changing my sub from UK to Cyprus now.

Not necessarily a dd-wrt router, mine isn't it's the D-Link DIR-645 there's no dd-wrt for it, there's openwrt but I found that impossible to get working as I liked, fortunately I found a guide on Unotelly on how to block public DNS without the static routes method using D-Link's default firmware: http://help.unotelly.com/support/sol...rticles/206773

That worked perfectly for me with my Amazon Fire TV and now Netflix and Amazon Prime UK (I'm in Sweden) work with Getflix.

What I did was block all static routes listed on getflix, however I get error 12001 on all android devices, follow by message telling me to check connection and my date of time, reinstalled the app with no success.
