I wouldn't change anything unless you are experiencing problems. Some DNS providers seem to be on top of it.
Nether NF4V and I'm using Cactus VPN

Nether???? Ahh! Netgear! ha ha !

If Netflix has stopped working, first try changing the ip address you are using - you can do this via the app on your ipad. You could try logging out and in again too. This might be enough to reset it.

If that doesn't work, you could try using Smart DNS, which might be included in your package. You can set it up on your modem, laptop or smart tv. Details here: https://www.cactusvpn.com/smart-dns-setup-tutorials/

That's all I have set up and I haven't had a problem accessing Netflix. Other more technical work arounds are available if it's still not working and you'll find these in the link I made earlier. I suggest you contact Cactus to see if they can help. Providers seem to be coping with this quite well, and some of the smaller ones are not being targetted (yet).

Not a fan of unblock-us, they have very complex dialer, and support team is quite moody. I waited for unblock.com to launch and they haven't launched yet. Leave me no choice but purchase purevpn.com for bbc iplayer and uk tv. and so far experience is good.

DNS4me.net is great I'm trailing it at the moment. Doesn't cost too much either. By the way, thanks JMH for the advice.

I just use Hulu, and I can access what I want.

I don't understand why it's complex. All I do is click on the unblock-us icon and choose 'connect' or 'disconnect'. It couldn't be more simple!!
