Edit: sorry everyone, didn't realise ozbargain expires the deal the day after it is set. We will keep the deal running through until Monday night (tonight).

Hi everyone,

This offer is for a 12 month subscription to uFlix for $15.

uFlix is a service that allows you to expand your Netflix content library using technology known as smartDNS. It also allows you to unblock Hulu and BBC iPlayer.

By masking your location and making you appear in a different country (region), Netflix will display different content depending on where you tell it you are. This is simply done by a click on your uFlix control panel.

How do I use my coupon?
Once you sign up for free, go to "subscription" in your control panel and type in "Oeck" in the coupon box and click save.

Deal Information:
After much discussion we have decided to run one last deal for uFlix. Later this year we are going to be changing the company name and expanding services we provide (Free VPN's, Paid VPN's, more channels, more devices, apps). OzBargain is a great community and we will run this deal one last time for the people who missed it last time. All uFlix customers will have free account upgrades with the release of uFlix v2 (which will change its name to Oeck).

Please note, you will only have until the 14th to make the payment. This deal can not be stacked on top of the two week free trial we offer.

I will be here to answer any questions you guys have and I look forward to speaking to all of you.

Thanks.

      Hola can be dangerous.

      As a free user, you are the product. And being the product means that when running hola you can be used as an exit node. That is to say, for example, someone can do illegal things on the internet using hola and you as the exit node, and it will look as though you did it from your computer.

      Thanks.

      Not only are you offering up your computer as an exit node to strangers, you're opening it up to a whole bunch of vulnerabilities in that plug-in. So not only will you be part of Hola's botnet but potentially some hacker/spammer's as well.

      - log into your portal (from your home LAN) and click button to update your region of choice (uses your WAN IP)

        I am not sure if they can route attacks through your DNS. They are pretty clear about living on donations on their website. I couldn't find any review (positive or negative) about their service

        • dazweeja on 10/09/2015 - 14:47

          For starters, they can send any traffic they like through their proxies. Also, they can log every DNS lookup you do and sell it to advertisers. I'm not saying they do any of that but there's a lot of trust involved with all of these services (paid ones included). But at least you won't be an exit node like the Hola service with that one.

        • renaldof on 10/09/2015 - 18:21

    OP, would you be able to confirm that the freeVPN that you'll be offering is only accessible to those who sign up to this deal? Are you able to divulge a bit more info for now ie. speed, download limit, etc? completely understand if you can't though.

      Hi blahoz,

      The free vpn will come with all smartDNS subscriptions. All users, old and new will have this available to them. However, the current $2 per month / $20 per year pricing will go up for the smartDNS service as it will include a lot of extra features. This deal is basically your chance to get a discount price on our $20 per year pricing as it currently is.

      The free VPN will have no download limits, but will have a speed cap. We will also have a Full VPN package that will have multiple VPN exit nodes and no speed caps.

      Thanks.

  • tessel on 10/09/2015 - 12:57

    Why don't people just setup their own Netflix DNS server? Hulu can be tricky as you need to find IPs that aren't already blacklisted, but it is still doable. Grab a cheap VPS for $6 a year or something and save?

    • starionx on 10/09/2015 - 13:01

      Wtf??
      So, to save $9 a year, you have to frig around to try and find 'usable' IPs?
      This, to me, is the very definition of a waste of time and effort.

      • tessel on 10/09/2015 - 13:04

        Your own DNS server can be shared amongst 10 friends or however many people you want. So that's $6 for netflix, you won't have a problem there, which can be shared with however many people you want. I do see your point, however.

        • [Deactivated] on 10/09/2015 - 14:09

          But that only works for one Netflix region/Country.
          You'd need a VPS in UK, Canada, etc to cover all the regions.

          Then you have to setup BIND or whatever you're using for DNS (or were you hard coding routes from your modem to your VPS proxy?)

          It's lots of fun & a good way to learn Linux/BIND/Squid/etc, but it's a lot of stuffing around for a newbie & you have to replicate it for every region you want to proxy too.

        • dazweeja on 10/09/2015 - 14:54

          @supabrudda:

          You could use BIND+Squid and enjoy the fun times, but this would only require DNSMasq+privoxy on the remote server which would take five minutes to configure. I agree that it's not worth the trouble though for a single region.

    • tm001 on 10/09/2015 - 17:52

      Mate, been there, done that. It is not a simple setup. Even for a seasonal linux admin person. VPS requires maintenance, especially if you are running a DNS service on it. Then to make it accept only your connection (or connection of your friends), manage the clients IP address changes, then you would need 1 VPS in each region…
      Man, I think I spent half of the money by just responding to your post :-)
      Not worth it, trust me.
      For $15 per year I don't even think of it. Logged in, tested, working fine for regions I need, now I will just hope those guys will not wind up before the end of the year.

        As for me, I think it's better to stick with use*t as it's cheaper and I can get more stuff online.

        True that you can't easily watch stuff on your game console (on which missus preference), only on htpc, but hey… It's cheaper…

        • tm001 on 11/09/2015 - 20:34

          And by all means - good for you. As I said I have done the same before. If you want to watch only US content and manage the IP changes on your own, it is all good. When I was doing it I could not find VPS for $6 per year. And it got hacked once. And then I spent so many hours just keeping it up to date, etc.
          For a student, it is a great learning experience.

      Hi dazzza,

      If you change it in the router, all the devices will work with our DNS by default.
      If you change it in the device directly, only that device will work with out DNS.

      Our DNS servers are fast, so if you opt for router you will not notice a speed hit compared to your ISP's DNS servers.

        Unblockus is a DNS+VPN service (so not really compariable), offers more sites & costs ~$au71/yr
        uFLix is a DNS service which does Netflix + BBC iPlayer & costs $au15/yr

        If you want VPN+DNS service then chose unblockus/Getflix/ibVPN,etc
        If you want just a DNS service to switch Netflix regions & watch BBC iplayer, then uFlix is probably for you.

        If you want a more advanced DNS service with much more websites/content the option to add your own proxy routes (awesome feature), then www.dns4me.net is pretty good for ~$25/yr.

    Op one thing to add to your FAQ (which most services don't mention).
    If you change your Netflix region (to say US) but are paying Netflix Australia, change it back to Australia if you're modifying your credit card, otherwise it will think you're in the US & start charging $us & rates.

      Hi suprabrudda,

      That is a good point. We will add it tonight.

      Thanks.

      Supabrudda/Rep,

      So you can subscribe to Netflix Australia. And use UFlix to access US content?

      Thanks

      • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 10/09/2015 - 14:15

        That's exactly right. If you sign up with uFlix first, and have uFlix set to say, USA, when you go to Netflix and sign up, it will think you are in the USA (this is for users who live in a country where Netflix is not available).

        Switching the region to "Turn Off" will default back to Australian Netflix, and Netflix will bill you in $AU.

        Thanks.

          To clarify, for us newbies.

          If I order Netflix in Australia, that one subscription will allow me to access US, Canada and UK Netflix content? they know I've paid 'somewhere' so allow access to all?

          Or, do I need to subscribe to all countries Netflix services?

          Thanks.

          @HelpWanted:

          Nope. You just need a Netflix subscription. So your current (Australian) subscription is fine. Just set up our service and enjoy other Netflix regions.

          Thanks.

      • [Deactivated] on 10/09/2015 - 14:22

        Yep, a Netflix subscription gives you access to whatever Netflix content is available in the country you're in. ie.g. if you goto Canada, you get access to Netflix Canada content (Not Australian Netflix content).

        What this service does is make Netflix think you're in whatever country you select via uFLix. e.g. you're in Oz, but want to wtch something that's only available in Netflix UK, then change you're uFlix region to UK, goto Netflix it'll think you're in the UK & you'll be able to watch you're show.

        Does that make sense?

        Here's a site which lets you see what's available in each region

  • nfr on 10/09/2015 - 14:02

    Does using this service slow down my download speed?

      Hi nfr,

      Not at all.

      Thanks.

    OK sold. Just set it up inside my fetchtv box and the 5yo is very happy with all the new animal documentaries (having already watched the au ones over and over)
