US Netflix DNS
 
the free DNS server I was using to watch US Netflix has gone, does anyone have a free working one?

We had Netflix in Canada, and now have it in UK. Is it not available in NB?

We use a VPN called easy-hide-ip.com
It costs around $3 a month, but allows you access to the UK and US versions of Netflix, iPlayer, Channel 4, ITV player, etc, etc.

Yes I did. I was wondering why the OP wants the US one though.

US Netflix has different (more) content than Canadian Netflix. Ditto UK netflix.

Yes, far more content (more than 5x) on the US Netflix service, and they don’t care where you register, what credit card you use etc, VPN van be "laggy" simply switching DNS is way better. http://www.unotelly.com/unodns/ have a paid service, but i had a free one before, $5 a month seems excessive when all you need is a US DNS. and Yes, you get iPlayer and C4 content working too.

$5 a month is excessive to achieve what you wish to achieve?

Well, yeh, VPN is far more costly to provide, $3 a month as someone above pays and sounds great value, DNS is stupidly cheap, cost to provide would be pennies a month.

Looks like Easy-Hide-IP can only be used on one computer

We use Unblock-us.com for $5 US a month and it's configured on our router so anything that's on our WiFi can access BBC/US Netflix/Hulu etc. Is pretty cool to be able to roll over in the morning and watch iplayer straight away on the ipad.

Also works for BBC's live streams.

If you do this, how easy is it to switch back and forward between Canadian DNS (& Netflix), US, UK etc? For a non-techy kinda person! We get netflix through a WD Media player hardwired into the router. We also have tablets and laptops.

not to hard on a PC or PS3 we were doing it all the time, i dont know about others, but there is plenty of help out there. router is easier and effects all devices, but we never did it that way.

BTW. i should have said, for anyone that wants a free regional DNS service which is good for anything but Netflix, this is a great resource http://tunlr.net/ really no strings attached.

Really...no strings attached? Kinda like the song money for nothing, you gotta ask yourself, why would somebody do that?

There are ways to past US netflix from outside if you know how

they are quite clear about why they do it, if you shared the cost amoungst a couple of dozen people, we could let 10,000 use it free, thats what they've done, cost is probably $1-200 a month to them.

My son and his friends run a minecraft server, costs $40 odd a month, they let lots of other kids play there freely.
