mit Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Hmm, I wonder if I can fudge this to work on a roku somehow... or even on my PC by spoofing stuff with hosts file entries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or with some firewalls like Comodo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mit Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 You can change the DNS in browser can't you? Or with some firewalls like Comodo Not sure what you mean by that. Actually not sure it would even work after reading through the article. Worth a try I suppose, but if I were netflix I would: 1. Know where my user's home location was based on billing information and restrict them using that 2. Be running source IP checks on every connection and block them based on that So really you'd have to use a proxy server for your netflix connection, which means either paying for a decent proxy service or having one you can use yourself. DNS is just for looking up IP addresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colossuss Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I can't even test it out as I don't pay for Netflix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mit Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I have a netflix subscription... but never use it. Hardly ever home and rarely watch TV, so my whole setup is a bit of a waste really... looks cool though Matt_S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_S Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 When I was off sick, I absolute caned it! All for free! To be honest, there werent that many 'new' films on there I wanted to see, but I watched all the Heroes series. Then wished I hadnt.... What a s**t ending! I try to use it a couple of times a month now, but realistically, its wasted now. Keep meaning to cancel to be honest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillloyd Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 True. Kids mainly use it but my username and password have been passed round family and friends so everyone uses it!, so for £6 not arsed. Uk content is pi55 poor in comparison though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john.med Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 These settings don't work for me. Tried a while ago and again just now even signed in to my US PSN account they don't work for me on TalkTalk and PS3. Just Saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillloyd Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Did you reboot after saving new settings? And test connection first Won't work otherwise;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNS is just for looking up IP addresses. It works. I've been using it for a while. I switch it on and off only when using Netflix. It appears they base your location on your DNS lookup. Which is odd as I know no one else who does this. A word of warning to everyone using this. All your DNS requests are going off to a sever you known nothing about. It could be redirecting you all over the place or all sorts of nasty stuff. Use at your own risk.

I thought that they'd got wise to the workaround. It works for you then?! Odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longun Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Google it. Loads of DNS servers to choose from. Try one of the others. Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mit Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 In that case you might as well use Google's public DNS (8.8.8.8 in case you didn't know)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longun Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Thats not a bad shout to be fair. I'll try that later and let you know. The secondary is 8.8.4.4 iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
