So after almost a year of great use I can’t watch Netflix due to the proxy I did ask for help 3 times and is almost like they don’t acknowledge
So yes cancelling just in time for my renewal
Maybe give VPN Baron a shot? It’s working for me and they have pretty good customer support.
Canceled mine a few weeks ago. I don’t think they are really trying hard.
I bought a one year subscription so I asked if I could cancel and get a refund for the remaining time. They said they “changed” something on my account and it’s now working on my laptop but not on any iOS device.
I agree with you. I also used Unblock-us, but now it is useless. Netflix is detecting users real IP with some DNS-browser trick like WebRTC, which caused one of my VPNs to stop working. I think this is the reason why Unblock-us in not working anymore. Currently, I am using Hide My IP - Smart DNS Proxy with Free IP Locations VPN + their smart DNS service to access Netflix. It works perfectly.
Same here. Not working on Rokus or Windows 10 Netflix app, but it works in the browser. Go figure! I have other services besides Netflix so I won’t be cancelling anytime soon.
A few weeks ago unblock-us “made additional changes to my account that should help get around the proxy error.” And it’s been working ever since.
Their support has been really slow, though. But still, it’s working great for me.
I can see they’re proxying the media stream now, too.
Seems I can watch Netflix Original shows, but not anything else (e.g. 30 Rock), as I get the message about an unblocker or proxy.
TBH, I use Hulu more these days than Netflix, but that’s just me. There are other services than just Netflix.
A simple IP hider has worked for me in the past, try IPMasquerade or similar, may be a cheap workaround?
I just tried it, which server are you using?
Same here but it didn’t work. Tried their basic steps twice and their more advanced steps three times no dice. Did you do something different to get it to work? Oh wait, it didn’t work for Roku but did for the Windows 10 Netflix app.
Yes if you watch region free shows then they do work. So hulu work with unblockus?
They have two: US Video Streaming 1 and 2. These work all the time. The other might not work as well. If you’re having issues, just contact support.
Their list of steps only helped for a day or two. After complaining again, that’s when they said they made changes to my account and it just started working – no more steps to follow or anything I had to do.
I’m just watching on my Windows 10 PC in the browser. I’d imagine to use other devices you’d need force the dns using iptables on the router or something, as devices may be using other dns servers.
Yes Hulu works. Trouble is, paying for it is hard.
I just tried it, it works, downside is with my internet, everything comes out at 240p or worse
I got HD quality on Video Stream 2
Here’s a trick i’m using to get the HD all the time:
- Connect to vpn and start the netflix show.
- Disconnect from the VPN after the shows stats playing.
- Reconnect to VPN for the next movie.
Netflix only checks at the beginning of stream.
