anyone uses netflix here? i'm new to the thing and i'm trying to use proxy's to connect to the US version of netflix since they have way better content than us supposely.. now here's a stupid question.. how do i tell whether i'm in netflix US or canada site? thx in advance

[mos_skeeto]

Depends on what device you're using... on my iPad there is a message saying something like "hello customer we detect that you are in the united states so you may notice a change in the available titles". With proxy, it feels like the library is 10x larger. Just go to new releases and it should look radically different.

[TurboFC3S]

If you can find a free proxy server that works let me know.. I tried but nothing seemed to work!

[!MiKrofT]

Free ones do not work. Save yourself the hassle and subscribe to something like unblock-us.com

[ForbiddenX]

Been using unblock-us.com and it's been great! Love all selection of TV shows that I can watch on the american netflix.

Check to see if it has 24, Prison Break, or How I met your mother. I think those aren't on the Canadian ones. I don't know for sure since I haven't used the canadian one in a while

[StaxBundlez]

Netflix here is so bs.
Had it for half a year and just canceled it because there's never anything good on.

Truthfully I probably would have never cancelled it if my credit card hadn't gotten scammed. lol

For 8 bucks it wasn't bad actually..

:considered:
US one IS STILL BETTER!!

i'm trying to use unblock-us.com too but i'm clueless how to use it. do i need to make a new account and have a US billing address and stuff before i can use the US netflix? cause i'm still being linked to the canadian netflix, i'm assuming coz i'm using a canadian paypal?

If there are any remotely new movies that you have even an inclination to watch, then you're on the US site. If you see only kids shows, movies from the 50s and documentarys, you're on the candian site :P

It goes by IP.

I signed up in Canada. My GF lives now in the US and uses my netflix.

So if you login to netflix using a USA IP address (AKA Proxy server or VPN) you should get all the US content

[freakshow]

I don't know if there is any change is the UI or logos.. if it's just purely the selection, yu might have to try and search for a movie you know the US has but Canada doesnt. For example, Canada does't have Iron Man 1

[lungfish23]

I use my Netflix mostly on my ps3. Is there a way to get a US ip on the ps3?

Unblock-us.com works if you're willing to pay.

[rageguy]

I've been looking to access US content for the longest time. I've checked many solutions. The free ones (VPN, proxy, whatever) do not give you a good speed. You're going to see buffers more often than you will like. If you truly want US content, you will have to pay for a third party service.

Unlock US is hands down the best. Super easy to set up too. If you are at home with a router, then you just have to reconfigure the router. No need to configure your PS3, Apple TV, computer, laptop, etc.

Hulu plus all the US TV websites that have content online.

one thing interesting i noticed, if i use my iphone to tether to my vita to watch netflix i get a lot more choices of movies than i do when i just use my wifi. even though my ip on my iphone isn't american i'm guessing my ip is toronto based. maybe i'll just use my iphone to tether from now on lol assuming the data usage ain't insane :P

[!MiKrofT]

It will be if you're watching HD.

[Presto]

Just signed up for Netflix, and also UnBlockUS. It's working great!

From what I can tell, UnBlockUS just provides DNS translation to give the Netflix IPs you'd get, if you were in the US. So, is there a hosts file out there I can download, so I don't need to shell out $5 a month? ;)

i've been using the free version of hotspot shield and its been working with the US version of netflix just fine.

I am using Hotspot right now . I think it is aorund $30 for a year. Not bad at all. However after about 1hour or so it won't load and I have to restart the program again

[twstd_reality]

I don't get it, if it's done through DNS why do you even need to register and pay the monthly fee? Do they do mac address / ip filtering or something when you sign up?

[Presto]

I'm guessing that IPs change periodically. If you have a HOSTS file that works for you today, it may not work tomorrow. These DNS services stay on top of it for the subscription fee.



hotspot shield > paying

If you're serious about using Netflix, then Hotspot shield (free version) is ass. Say hello to latency, and the Loading bar. Also, kiss HD goodbye.

[twstd_reality]

Actually it is by ip...... Off their site..... Anyways anyone have any issues / lag when gaming on ps3?

"My ISP provides only dynamic IP addresses. Is this a problem? Last Updated: Mar 27, 2012 07:51PM EDT

Dynamic IP is not a problem. The only limitation of dynamic IP's is that you'll need to visit Unblock Us - unblock your favourite video and social websites (http://check.unblock-us.com/) every time it changes. Web browser will be forwarded there automatically when you trying to access Netflix, Hulu & other supported sites, but you need to remember about this check when you watch movies on Roku, gaming consoles and other "browserless" devices and applications."

[Presto]

Okay... I geeked out this evening, and figured out what you need to watch US content on Netflix without having to pay UnblockUS or some other DNS.

You'll need to modify your hosts file. If you have Windows, it's located in:
C: \windows\system32\drivers\etc

Just copy and paste these two lines to the end of the file:
74.207.242.213 movies.netflix.com
74.207.242.213 cbp-us.nccp.netflix.com


Not sure how long this'll work for, because Netflix could change the IPs.

No there is no latency or wait time for me, loads instantly.

[Presto]

^^^
Free version of Hotspot shield, and you have HD support? Sure I can stream US content, but it looks like YouTube in the eary 2000s. I think you're bullshitting, but if you have it, more power to you. A direct connect is better, though.

[freakshow]

Nice work Presto!

I paid for unblock-us already, and I also set it up on my router so all my devices can access US netflix (netbook, HTPC, PC, MBP, etc).. it's a bit easier, and for $5.. why not. but good find!

I also like how I can transfer the unblock-us support to work and use pandora, and transfer it back when i get home

[Presto]

Unblock-US is great! It's really got value if you want to go to a lot of region-restricted sites. Heck, I just found out I can use Google Play. They give you storage for up to 20,000 songs, but you won't be able to purchase/download from the store unless you have a CC with an American billing address.

[TurboFC3S]

for ps3 just change your DNS primary and secondary servers , i got mine working again.

Go Network settings > Manual > DNS Settings > Primary DNS 69.111.95.106 Secondary DNS 206.214.214.28

Sometimes they dont work, if not try these

Primary: 69.111.95.106

Secondary; 206.214.214.28

Im using that one and it works fine, no lag.

[Presto]

hmm anyway to edit host files on ps3 lol

Can't edit hosts file on ps3. You might be able to do it if you have root. If you have a DD-WRT, OpenWRT, or Tomato router, then you can modify the DNSMasq Additional Options to include the hosts for Netflix, or whatever.

See this page: Setup Local/Internal DNS with a DD-WRT Router (http://cybernetnews.com/local-internal-dns-ddwrt/)

I added the following to my DNSMasq Additional Options:

address=/movies.netflix.com/74.207.242.213
address=/cbp-us.nccp.netflix.com/74.207.242.213

Why so mean..


Why are you trolling? All you did was put a check on Allow HD, and take a screenshot. With the amount of video buffered there, it should say Playing HD. Not buffering.

Pornmaster is looking for something like editing a hosts file.
That first IP looks like a subscriber DSL line, and it's currently not responding. The 2nd IP is from UnoTelly, which is like UnblockUS. You have to be authorized (ie signed-in), for it to work.

[Firmware]

I'm not trolling...

just showing you what i see when i untick hd it is so bad..

[StylinRed]

sorry for the Bump



But im looking at getting netflix for my pops

and just wondering if Netflix US is still >>>>>>>>>>> Canada?

and if Unblock-US is still the way to go?

[Preemo]

Unblock-Us is really the best solution. Especially if you set it up on your router so all devices can take advantage of it. $5 a month is really nothing. I bet you wouldn't even notice it missing from your piggy bank.

Not only that, it also works when you are away from home. Anyways, everything is on their website. Really easy to use.

[JesseBlue]

Tunlr is freebie dns routing that is pretty Awesome

[StylinRed]

Thanks for the info guys I thought id try out using tunlr first to see how it is the streams start at Medium/HD for the first few minutes and then ends up High/HD and I'm able to do this on 2 devices (dads pc and ps3) but they drop to Medium/HD on the PS3 and "not hd" on the comp might just be his internet connection though as my moms also using her Ipad and dads downloading


I have another question


How do i know if its connected to the US Netflix or Canadian one? (are the GUIs or webpages different in anyway?)
I'm a bit surprised at how sparse the selection seems to be so I wonder if Im actually connected to the Canadian one instead

[EmperorIS]

How safe are these proxies? you are sending all your data to them.

[StylinRed]

^^^^ i have the same concern as im not knowledgeable about that at all.

the dns i have setup is only on the ps3 (i didnt set it up @ the router)

so the only info they'll be getting is the netflix account i suppose (no cc info used and the acct was setup prior to running their dns)

the pc connection was just made to test out running 2 streams its not going to stay running under their dns

[Presto]

How do i know if its connected to the US Netflix or Canadian one? (are the GUIs or webpages different in anyway?)

Do a search on something that should be US only, like the Office, or my wife's current favorite: Ghost Whisperer.

[Fuhrër-Z]

Sons of Anarchy is US only.

[StylinRed]

Ah thanks guys looks like I did set it up correctly its connected to the US one


I was a bit unsure because when going to Google I would still be sent to google.ca
that and netflix didn't have a lot of movies I was searching for

[91civicZC]

I posted this in the other netflix thread, but this one seems to be more about the DNS codes and how to get US netflix, as well as more traffic, so Ill post it again. Need help!

I have been trying to get the different DNS codes to work for me for several days to access US netflix, no luck. I’ve actually tried a primary and secondary that works for a friend of our on their PS3, doesn’t work for me on my PS3 or my Xbox.

I’m logging in, changing only my DNS setting to the new DNS numbers and leaving all my other settings the same. Test the connection with the new numbers and everything works, but when I log into Netflix, I still only see the Canadian content.

I have tried resetting my router, modem, console, and Netflix accounts. I’ve tried different numbers, some of which I have verified work for a friend to get the US content. I am wondering if my setup has something to do with it. Dlink 655 router, wireless for both consoles, and on Shaws service.

Any thoughts on what I may need to change to get this to work? Currently Im trying to use tunlrs DNS codes. I want to set this up on my PS3 or Xbox, not on my router.

[Presto]

What are the DNS numbers you're using?

[Mizter]

I've been using this to access US content.

tunlr.net (http://tunlr.net/)

[91civicZC]

using tunlrs numbers

184.82.222.5 as primary

199.167.30.144 as secondary

Putting them in under PS3 internet network settings, leaving everything else the same. I test it, everything connects okay, but then I fire up netflix and still only get Canadian content. I have a feeling it has to do with my router or modem from shaw settings, but I have no idea what. I have limited knowledge of these functions, but its like something in my settings is "overriding it". Any suggestions?

[terkan]

is there an app or something i can use on my nexus 7 that'll allow me access to the us version?? i think i watched everything on netflix at work already

should try deleting netflix from your ps3

making a US PSN account and redownload netflix from the PSN store and see if that works

[91civicZC]

I actually have both US and CND PSN accounts already, the Netflix app I am using is whatever was included on a PSN update some time ago. I’ve never even seen the Netflix app in the PSN store. Anyone know where it is? Ill erase it and download if I can find it, but even searching for “Netflix” it only comes up for the vita.

Here is what I am seeing when I look at the setup, is something here causing the issue that anyone can see?

Internet connection: enabled

Connection method: wireless

Connection strength: 100%

SSID: (not posting)

BSSIC: (no idea what this is, so not posting)

Channel: (not posting)

Security: WPA2-PSK (AES)

WPA Key: (not posting)

Address settings: Automatic

IP Address: (not posting, but it still shows my original IP, regardless of which DNS I believe, is this the problem?)

Subnet Mask: (don’t know what this is, but number doesn’t seem to change as well, is this an issue?)

Default Router: (shows my original router number, same as before)

Primary DNS: 184.82.222.5

Secondary DNS: 199.167.30.144

Mac address: Don’t know what this is, not posting

MTU: Automatic

Proxy Server: Do not use

UPnP: Available

NAT Type: Type 2

Again, I only have a VERY basic knowledge of what this stuff is, but it seems like I should be able to just changed my DNS, and it should work as it has for people I know. Anything someone can see here that would make it not work?

Edit
For anyone else having this issue, check your router. If it’s a Dlink, the newer ones ship with something called “advanced DNS protection” or something like it. It’s basically a “safety” that Dlink puts into the routers now, but it really doesn’t work.
Uncheck that box in your router, and you should be good to go.
