uFlix allows users to expand their Netflix content library by switching Netflix regions. Different Netflix regions provide different content to their customers. By switching regions users can access content that is not available in their region (For example, Australia). Using uFlix users are quickly able to change their Netflix regions and access more Netflix content with the click of a button.

uFlix is a smartDNS provider, not a VPN. Because of this, your streaming speed is unaffected by us. New regions are added frequently and uFlix will be supporting HBO streaming when it is available as a stand-alone service.

Using the promo code, you will be able to sign up to our 12 month access plan for just $12!

Promo ends 25/03/2015 @ Midnight.

Enjoy!

    Good price for this kind of service (well worth it to access US/UK/etc netflix).

    But I've never heard of uFlix, anyone used them?

      We are a relatively new service. Please feel free to take advantage of our two week trial and test us out. We don't provide 100 channels, only Netflix, hulu and BBC iPlayer in order to keep costs down and provide a low-cost solution to those who mainly want to use Netflix.

      However, we will also be providing support for HBOGO when it is released as a stand alone service.

      Thanks.

          We will be launching a sister-company later on down the track which is a more "complete" unblocking solution. uFlix is a service for users who do not need 100 channels, and primarily just want more content for Netflix, hulu and BBC iPlayer.

          But thank you :)

          Free VPNs tend to affect browsing speeds.Using a dns provider should be faster and after the one time setup,most likely shouldn't need any fidgeting with settings.

          You're welcome. Please feel free to try out the service. It is free for 14 days, so if you don't like it or you don't think it is for you, you can simply just not pay for access after 14 days.

          What I'm planning on doing is switching between US and AU services depending on what I'm watching. I'll default to the AU service for a lot of the content, but if there's something offered on an international service, switch - watch it and then switch back.

      • busterau on 24/03/2015 - 13:27

        Presumably to get free content from the Australian servers offered by some ISP's you would have to use the ISP's DNS servers. How does your service get around this when presumably your DNS would need to be set to your servers?

    What is the difference between your service, and browser addons such as "Hola!" ? Can we use your service on consoles, media players and other devices, or just pc? (That is one limitation of Hola!)

    • chuq on 24/03/2015 - 13:50

      I assume you can configure your DNS settings in your router, and it will use those for all devices on your home network? Is this how it works, uFlix?

      • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 24/03/2015 - 13:56

        Correct. You can choose to either set up each device individually or set it at the router level.

      Hello,

      Hola can use you a peer on their network. It also will not work on consoles.

      Yes, our service works on media players, consoles, etc. You can even input our DNS servers in your router so all of your connected devices are capable of using uFlix without the need to custom set each device. However, if you wish for each device to be custom set, you can do so by following the instructions @ https://uflix.com.au/setup/

      Thanks.

    • Flyingmoo on 24/03/2015 - 15:29

      Hola is a 2 way service.
      While you are using it to connect via the US (or whatever), someone else could be using your connection to connect via Australia, and not everyone would be using Netflix, could be all manner of dodgy content going through your connection.

      • Talonparty on 24/03/2015 - 17:26

        I don't think the browser addon shares your connection though, I think it's only through their vpn application.

        • fatal on 24/03/2015 - 20:46

          Actually it does. Comprehensive Reddit thread on this that shows hola utilises your computer as an exit node regardless of whether you use the vpn or browser addon.

        • Talonparty on 25/03/2015 - 00:21
          +2

          @fatal: I think we differ on what constitutes 'comprehensive'. Quote from that thread:

          The core issue I want to bring up is that the full application (and maybe the extension) operates as an exit node on the public Internet

          Doesn't sound comprehensive to me. The permissions on the extension when you install via chrome only ask for permission to alter and view the data of webpages you visit.

          I went through this and investigated when I encountered the extension and I was satisfied that only the app acts as an exit node. After using the extension for a long time on my parents media centre pc I can say that it displays no evidence of ever acting as an exit node. I am happy to be wrong but I have never seen any evidence to the contrary and the closest thing to proof anyone ever posts is a link to that reddit thread where the author even admits it's only speculation about the browser extension.

          Of course, it's all close source so we can't find out ourselves. But we can investigate the permissions that the chrome extension requires, and they do not appear to be the level of permissions required to act as an exit node at all.

      You can use your aus account and it will just say looks like your travelling away from aus so some content is different.

      As esosite said, you will not need a US Netflix account. Any Netflix account will work with our service.
      However, as a suggestion, I would suggest all users who access Netflix (via uFlix or not) should switch their account to an Australian account. It helps Netflix's books look good and helps with competition in the Australian market.

  • Lukian on 24/03/2015 - 13:56

    uFlix, is this for the life of the subscription, or just the first year?

    Also looks like no Amazon Prime support?

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 24/03/2015 - 14:01

      Hi,

      This is only for the first 12 months. If you choose to purchase another 12 month subscription after the initial subscription runs out, it will be $20 per year.

      As far as Amazon goes, uFlix will not be providing unblocking solutions to Amazon Prime. uFlix was set up for users as a budget alternative to other unblocking services. It is aimed towards users who mainly use Netflix, hulu and BBC iPlayer.

      However, there are two points I would like to make. Firstly, HBOGO will be supported by uFlix when it is launched as a stand alone service.

      The second point I would like to make is the uFlix will have a sister-company which will be a complete unblocking solution. That is to say it supports crunchyroll, Amazon Prime, and many more channels. However, it will be more expensive than uFlix.

      Thanks.

        I've actually got a DNSMASQ config on my home network that basically has a couple entries that says for any uflix/netflix/bbc/hulu domains - go via the uflix DNS. This was the exact same setup I had for getflix and while everything is working as it should - i get a "DNS failed" on the settings page.

        do you know if the DNS test goes via a different domain than uflix?

          This is my guess at what the config would look like:

          # Use uflix DNS for these domains

          # Uflix
          server=/uflix.com.au/203.143.83.123

          server=/nflximg.net/108.61.169.104

          server=/hulu.com/203.143.83.123
          server=/a248.e.akamai.net/203.143.83.123
          server=/hulu.com/108.61.169.104
          server=/a248.e.akamai.net/108.61.169.104

          # BBC iPlayer
          server=/bbc.co.uk/203.143.83.123
          server=/bbcfmhds.vo.llnwd.net/203.143.83.123
          server=/bbc.co.uk/108.61.169.104
          server=/bbcfmhds.vo.llnwd.net/108.61.169.104

          I say guess because I have not used it and am not planning on using it. Personally I use DNS4me because I just tell dnsmasq to use a second hosts file:

          sudo nano /etc/dnsmasq.conf
          addn-hosts=/etc/dns4mehosts

          And then add cron jobs to get the latest version of my custom hosts file and restart dnsmasq to apply changes:

          sudo crontab -e
          0 2 * * * curl -# —output /etc/dns4mehosts https://dns4me.net/user/hosts_file_api/<MY API>
          30 2 * * * service dnsmasq restart

          Which I think is far easier and better since it updates itself, but dns4me costs more (and provides way more).

    For those of us who have a dynamic IP supplied by ISP, do we need to update our uFlix account everytime our IP changes?
    Or is there an option to put a host record that maps our dynamic ip address?

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 24/03/2015 - 14:28

      Whenever your IP address changes, you simply need to login to uFlix. The system will automatically update your IP address once you have logged in. We are working towards a more convenient system, but currently this is how IP syncing is done.

      Thanks.

      • belbo on 25/03/2015 - 09:21

        Another issue with this - if you want to log into your account from work or somewhere else - for whatever reason - then the ip address ain't your home connection anymore. That's ok if you live alone or everyone in the house is tech savvy. Otherwise it's not good for the WAF. This should be a high priority to get sorted in a matter of a week or two. Allowing users to input a dynamic dns domain name - like getflix does - should be pretty simple and quick to implement - and should quickly address the issue for those (probably quite a few) with dynamic dns domain names.

    • hen dawg on 24/03/2015 - 15:17

      This is the issue I was having with getflix and iiNet. Was changing almost daily. Easily switched but still a bit of a pain

      • OZB Al on 25/03/2015 - 08:10

        Many other dns services can use one of the free ddns services to update their record of your ip, just get your modem to keep the ip up to date.

        • belbo on 25/03/2015 - 09:13

          Yip. This will be an issue for me. I'll prob cancel after a month or two if auto updating is not implemented. I only started with Getflix a couple of months ago and was paying monthly, ie over $3 per month. I'll give this a go at $1 per month as we're only watching US Netflix atm. If it doesn't work out it's a pretty small loss - and after 3 months its close to break-even on what I would have paid on Getflix. Then I'll probably lock in for a year on Getflix.

        • OZB Al on 25/03/2015 - 09:21

          It's probably worth trial hopping on a few different services until you find one that fits you best. Personally I find the features of dns4me far ahead of the rest.

      Hi,

      The switching is done via our website. You select a region from a dropdown menu and set it. The content does not get mixed (unfortunately). Each region provides different content for Netflix, so setting a region in your control panel will display that regions content. You can switch whenever you like.

      Thanks.

        So, the part about Australian content being unmetered, even if I've set it up to US, using an Australian Netflix account, is it still unmetered?

        • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 25/03/2015 - 17:01

          We found some of the data was getting metered. We are working on an "off" system to disable our service via the control panel. It will then bypass us completely.

          Thanks.

          @uFlix: can you let me know when this fix has been implemented?

          @amelyn: Hi amelyn,

          We will be posting updates on our blog, twitter and facebook as things get added.

          Thanks.

    Is this service legal or are we kinda in a grey area

    • SirFlibbled on 24/03/2015 - 15:13

      It's not illegal just unlawful. That is, you wont be arrested but it's a breach of the terms and conditions of those service. If they catch you most likely they will disconnect your service not sue you for millions.

      Illegal and unlawful are synonymous in common usage.

      To expound SirFlibbled's comment: no - this service is not illegal (or unlawful) - but using this service to circumvent geo-blocking is a breach of Netflix's Terms of Service and they have the right to take whatever action they state in said Terms (most likely cancellation of subscription without refund etc).

      uFlix - not illegal, totally legitimate
      using uFlix to circumvent geo-blocking - not illegal, but grounds for termination of subscription

      In saying all of this, you are extremely unlikely to ever have any repercussions from using one of these DNS workaround services - mostly because you're still a paying customer. Netflix has to have geo-blocking in place due to licencing.

      EDIT: Assuming neg is due to my interpretation of illegal/unlawful. Using "unlawful" to mean something that is against the rules but not illegal is confusing and archaic, considering the phrase "breaking the law" means to do something illegal.

        Netflix has an estimated 30+ million users in countries where the service ISN'T offered. They don't care, they just want the extra subscriber money

      The post johnno07 made is pretty much an accurate simplification of it.

      Thanks.

    There is a 14 day trial but we have about 30 hours before the coupon runs out?

    • Benjamin7711 on 24/03/2015 - 15:25

      Better try it for 2 days and if you like it, sign up!! :)

  • Blackgold86 on 24/03/2015 - 15:11

    I only have access to an Ipad. Can I still use this service?

    • jordan23140 on 24/03/2015 - 15:19

      If its like Getflix you can change your DNS settings on your ipad. I've been watching the US content on my library for a while

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 24/03/2015 - 16:09

      Yes you can. Instructions for setting it up on an iPad can be found at https://uflix.com.au/setup/ipad-iphone/

      Thanks.

  • baaz on 24/03/2015 - 15:41

    I currently have Getflix(for another 6 months), whats the difference between uflix and getflix? other than price?

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 24/03/2015 - 16:07

      There is no difference. uFlix is aimed towards people who only really need Netflix, BBC iPlayer and hulu, so the price stays low. We are not a "complete" unblocking solution, and we do not aim to be. We will be releasing a sister-company to do that down the road, but uFlix is there for people who only need a few channels unblocked for a cheaper price.

      Thanks.

        Thanks Rep.
        I use getflix only for NetFlix. Would have been cheaper if I didnt have Netflix.

    How do you plan to charge for this if it's just a DNS server?
    In theory I could sign up, get the server address and then cancel my subscription but still use the server address since you can't use authentication with DNS?

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 24/03/2015 - 16:08

      You IP address is dropped as soon as your subscription / free trial expires. As soon as your IP is dropped, you will no longer be able to access Netflix, hulu or BBC iPlayer.

      Thanks.

      • stickyfingers on 24/03/2015 - 16:09

        Ah, so I'd have to associate my IP my account on your service for you to whitelist me?

        • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 24/03/2015 - 16:10

          Correct. It is done automatically once you log in.

          Thanks.
