Sign out of the Netflix app, then log back in again with your login details.

Does anyone have a definitely working DNS code? I can't find one that works.
I'm worried I might be being blocked by official channels as I can't seem to get HOLA to work online either.
I only use it for us Netflix and HOLA for watching episodes of One Piece

edit: nvm Finally found a code that works after two days of trying
I'm gutted though as before Viper hijacked the DNS code I was using it had been faithful to me for well over 6 months.

Trouble is you can't always rely on random DNS codes, not only that you just don't know who they belong to and what they may be doing with them.
You have to pay a little but I much prefer to use www.unblock-us.com as at least it's reliable and safe.

If you're trying to rely on a free randomly found DNS you deserve any problems you might get, same with Hola users, are you really surprised that this wonderful free service had the hidden function of being a botnet?

You get nothing in this life for free.

Don't worry I removed HOLA now anyway. Useless thing.

What's the deal with HOLA? I use the app on my tablet to switch the Netflix location, don't use it on any other devices though.

Thanks. Could anyone recommend the best and safest way to change the Netflix location setting on all devices? I use it on my laptop, Samsung blu-ray player and occasionally my tablet. Also is it quick and easy enough to revert back to your true location and does it cause any issues on your device with other programmes/software etc?

Yep as Stuart said https://www.unblock-us.com/ is the way to go, I've been using them for a few years now and not just for Netflix either.

Will that allow access on my Samsung blu-ray player though? I use this quite often for Netflix. I'm reading a lot about programmes like Turboflix and so forth that apparently open up access to foreign content on Netflix as well and these will do it on pretty much all devices.

It works on any device your able to change the DNS settings on.
There's full instructions for the most common devices on the site.

A VPN might work over 3G/4G but your cannot use a smart DNS service as you can't change the DNS address as its set by the network.

Just running the week free trial of unblock-us.com, seems to work great on my laptop but does anyone know if its possible to use this same unblocking service on Virgin Media TiVo boxes and Samsung smart blu-ray players? If its not its pointless me paying for a full-time subscription really as its on those devices I use Netflix the most.

Managed to set up the new DNS setting on my blu ray but can't figure how you then switch the location, from what I can gather the new DNS automatically puts it on US Netflix but if I want to change it to Canada or Australia etc I can't figure how you do it, the guide says about doing a key sequence that then brings up a drop down menu where you pick the location, I can't get this to work.

Any ideas??

Two ways 1. log into your unblock-us account via your computer and you can change the region there.
2. The best way imo is download the unblock-us app to your phone and use the app to change regions.

So you can change the location setting from any device using your login then it will switch the Netflix location on any device with the DNS programmed in?
