I have smartdnsproxy set up on my router getting nexflix to stream on my smart TV but still won't work on my Xbox or Blu-ray player I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app of my Xbox as well as restarted it no luck the Xbox shows the proper DNS which is installed on the router but it still does not work. I guess for now I will use the smart TV for Netflix

[Kewell35]

still working?

[ronsin1]

On the smart TV yes it still working still researching why it still being blocked on the other devices

It's easy to circumvent the VPN block, well havent tried any VPN over 3G. For those wanting to bypass the restrictions however, you can use a service such as Unblock-US or Unotelly but via using the DNS. Those of you with Roku's and Apple TV (3rd Gen), not sure about the Fire TV, they've hard coded Google's DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) so the best bet is to use one of those services mentioned and create a static route redirecting the Google DNS addresses to localhost (127.0.0.1).

Only US working for me on smartdns on the Firestick. Having alot of trouble getting regions to work. Going to try the smarttv and G Box apps

Sigh.

Same here. Looks like it's a pirates life for me. Arrrrrrr thanks Netflix...

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

I might cancel and switch to HBO now.

[wheelbarrow]

I moved to SmartDNS, works fine on all consoles except the Xbox One...

HBONow win....

[neexis]

Since smartproxydns wasn't working, I reverted to the standard DNS

Couple months later, set the DNS back up for on Xbox One for HBO Now and suprisingly Netflix works again. They added a third DNS number so I used that one instead.

It's a real cat-and-mouse game with nfx and smartdns, but usually they fix it within a day or two. a bit annoying sometimes tho

[skylinechild]

so whats the recommended software to remove the geo location blocks...smart dns......unblockus....etc.??

[crazybalhead]

Unblockus was working for most content by me up to a few days ago, then BAM, "You appear to be using a proxy or unblocker" and no more netflix.

[skylinechild]

so what now CBH...???

i want to get proven method of getting around the geo location issue but at the same time i dont want to have to update / change my ip address everyday...

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

some online article claim https://www.expressvpn.com/ is the only solution working with Netflix at the moment.
I havent tried it yet though

update me when you do try it out as i did some research...and they say they have no issues WRT to netflix.. so right now its a toss up between smart dns and express vpn

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ I have been using smartdnsproxy for over a year to access Hulu, CBS, HBO Now etc and Netflix does not work with it all the time - I also get the netflix "seems you are using a proxy" message from time to time.

So expressVPN seems to be the only choice

[Cross Blood]

Same happens to me with Smart DNS Proxy. I actually cancelled my 4th of July subscription with them. I don't think their service will keep up.

[tourniquet]

unblock-us has been useless with Netflix on the Roku for quite some time, but only recently we've been intermittently getting the proxy/ unblocking software notification on our laptops/ tablets. It's becoming a press your luck game between these companies and netflix. Feel I might cancel unblock and give one of the others a try yes.

Non-technical 3rd world users problems.

How do you get credentials for HBO now cbs etc? Have someone's login from abroad that you use through smartdns?

[crazybalhead]

Might just cancel netflix and done yes. Just bought a novel to start reading.

[carluva]

^^ good idea. Hope the title of the novel isnt "how to get access to Netflix using effective DNS proxies" [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES][GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES][GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES][GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES][GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

no you just pay for it

HBO Go requires US cable subscription login. HBO Now just requires payment.

They accept international credit cards?
