Unlike a VPN, Unblock-US only masks your IP from specific services like Netflix, Pandora, Hulu, CBS, ABC etc. It does not mask your IP for Google or most of the web - so your browsing is not changed at all. It does not affect speed.
Most people put unblock-us on their router, IMO that is the best place to put it.
No problems if your phone connects. if anything it would be great since apps like Pandora, CBS, ABC and Hulu will now work on your phone once you are connected to your router.
My only beef is that Unblock-us does not work with Amazon Video On Demand.
thanks - will check it outXecutive wrote:Duane 3NE 2NR wrote:Unblock-US only works really well - I have been using it for over a year now with no problems.moses_boss12 wrote:Ok so was looking into getting the Unblock us..seems to be very legit..kinda new to the whole thing...how does it affect your overall experience on the net,,, i want to put it on my router ( what if my phone connects to the router, would it show up as connected to the US Etc)... a next question anyone using netflix on Windows 8..i had it awhile back and when windows updated to 8.1 it just stopped working...i gave up on it..but want to get back into it..

Used unblock-us until recently I switched to smartdnsproxy.com. Initially I thought that unblock-us was quite good as I used it mainly for Amazon instant videos but when I tried CW network, abc, cbs apps etc all the videos either came up as server problems or the app itself just wasn't loading any info. Now using smart DNS proxy with no problems other than the fact that some primetime networks ask for ur cable company user log in info. Also, smartdnsproxy works out cheaper than unblock-us if u take a longer subscription package
ok unblock-us works for PrimeXecutive wrote:@Duane, haven't tried the video on demand. I got prime membership so I just watch whatever is available at the moment for free lol

Up to Sunday gone I was back and forth with unblock-us support trying to get this working again for me. Had the same problem you described - no access to many Google services (youtube, drivel.google.com, keep.google.com etc) only gmail worked. I first discovered the problem when my Chromecast could not connect to Youtube but the other streaming services worked fine.
The final solution was they gave me two different sets of DNS address pair to try. The last pair worked. They mentioned to me that it appears to be that the ISP has changed something. I have TSTT DSL btw

I send an email to support@tstt.net.tt this morning and this is response I got
"Dear valued customer,
We have never encountered this type of report from any of our customers. We are not familiar with any kind of transparent proxy for Google services. We do not use, or are not subscribed to use any kind of transparent proxy for Google services."
I wasn't expecting any helpful response from them in any case so no surprise there.

Each country has a different selection of movies on Netflix.
Unblock-us.com let's you change the country you can access. So you can change to UK and watch the movies in the UK Netflix. UK netflix has a lot more British shows. Or you can switch to Canada or even Sweden. You'd be surprised at the cool movies available in other countries such as Predator or Ghostbusters that aren't available even in the US Netflix.
Netflix is cracking down on streamers who bypass region locks
The company seems to be blocking VPNs and other tools
Netflix in the United States is not the same as Netflix in the rest of the world. Thanks to the intricacies of international law, the streaming service offers very different content, and sometimes none at all, based on where a subscriber lives. Some savvy users have been using tools to get around that problem, but it appears the company may finally be putting its foot down.
Many users rely on VPNs — virtual private networks — or custom DNS settings to stealthily access Netflix as though they were in other regions. But Netflix may have started closing some of those loopholes. Torrent Freak reports that, in the past few weeks, popular VPN services like TorGuard have started seeing a spike in errors when users try to access Netflix.
The problems don't appear to be widespread — the Netflix Android app, for one, may have updated to block DNS trickery — but there is a reasonable concern among users of the services that this is a prelude to a wider crackdown by Netflix. That might be unfortunate for people who rely on the services, but it's hardly surprising: as Netflix continues its global expansion, more and more money is on the line.
