EDIT: ENDS MIDNIGHT TONIGHT - 29/01/2016.

Hi everyone,

Over the last few days we have been hearing news that a lot of people still can't access USA Netflix. The OzBargain community has always been good to us, and we enjoy conversing with the community. For that reason we are running a special for you guys who may still be blocked. Even if you are already a member you can take advantage of this deal.

We are going to run a special starting today and ending Friday, 29th Jan. The deal is $16 AUD for 12 months of our service. All you need to do is use the coupon code "unblockme" when checking out and the deal will be applied to your account.

As usual, we will be here throughout the day to answer any questions you may have, or just general chat about what has been going on recently.

Thanks!

Internet Australia Day

Hi op! I signed up to your $12 deal for 12 months in March 2015.
How exactly do I take advantage of this deal? Do I close my account and re-open it and pay $16 fo another 12 months as I understand the coupon doesn't stack.
Thanks
- quarrymaster on 26/01/2016 - 20:30
  
  It's usually $20 for 12 months, so you save $4. Meanwhile, you lose the remaining 2 months or $2. Sounds like a deal. :)
  - ezza on 26/01/2016 - 20:51
    
    Just logged in and noticed its $2 a month your right.
    This deal is basically 4 months free.
    Will leave as is!

Sorry it might be silly question but I've never used Netflix before. Do I also need paid account from Netflix?

I know this is ozbargain, BUT so many tight a$$es squibbling over this, saying it is only a few bucks saving, no guarantee if Netflix really starts clamping down etc etc. Gees it is a couple pots of beer!
Trust me there support is 2nd to none, in the past they spent hours and hours trying to resolve some of my issues, nothing was too much hassle for them, they just want happy customers. Very timely responses, not sure how they make a quid!
Cannot wait for oeck and its offerings.

      Q: Many Australians use a VPN to access Netflix in the US. Is it illegal for me to use a VPN to access Netflix?
      
      The Copyright Act does not make it illegal to use a VPN to access overseas content.
      While content providers often have in place international commercial arrangements to protect copyright in different countries or regions, which can result in ‘geoblocking’, circumventing this is not illegal under the Copyright Act.

      Yeah. It's ripping somebody off, which can't be right. :S It's netflix's content, right, therefore surely their right to license it. Whereas here others are lisencing it without their permission… It seems pretty black and white.
    - Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 29/01/2016 - 10:50
      
      Cool. Can you please explain to us how it is ripping someone off?
      
      Say you purchase a DVD at the store, say "Futurama". You play it on a portable media player (you know, those little ones with the little screen on them and a headphone jack). You decided one day you want to take a trip to the USA for a bit of a holiday.
      
      So, you take your little portable player and your DVD and you jump on a plane. You love Futurama, so you are watching it on the plane (flying over multiple countries by the way). You land in America and you can't get enough of it. You sit in your hotel room the first day and you watch Futurama. You then enjoy the rest of your holiday and fly home.
      
      Tell me, how many people have you ripped off by doing that?
      
      Thanks.
    - Donaldhump on 29/01/2016 - 11:11
      
      @uFlix: your statement is different. When you pay netflix you haven't purchased the content, you have purchased the right to watch content because you reside in a specific location and that provider has the right to that content in that location. If it wasn't dodgy, why is there all these shady companies doing this.
      
      If you were in a band, and someone paid you via a service to listen to your music, via a nigerian vpn, as opposed to a usa subscription for a 1/3 of the price you would be angry.
    - Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 29/01/2016 - 11:21
      
      @unclesnake:
      
      I should have worded it slightly differently.
      
      The licensing laws are outdated. They have no place it today's world. The companies who are licensing this content are getting paid either way. So, for example;
      
      Netflix USA pays someone to be allowed to stream Futurama in USA for $x. It does not matter how many of Netflix's viewers watch it, they have already paid the fee to broadcast it. If I fly over to the USA and login with my Netflix account, I will be able to watch it there.
      
      So if uFlix had an airline where you jump in the plane and physically fly over to the USA to watch the content, it is the same thing. Except it is an expensive and inefficient way of doing it.
      
      I would not go as far as to call unblockers "shady". There is nothing illegal about them. Perhaps it is time the content providers took a look at their business model and moved with the times, then companies like uFlix will not need to exist. Here is an idea;
      
      Make content easily available.
      
      Make content affordable and reasonably prices.
      
      Make content available on-demand.
      
      I think it is a winner.
      
      Thanks.

      yes but that person can not watch it whilst not in the Usa, or a person in a foreign country can not sign up to a service in a foreign country and fake living their through the use of VPNS because another local company, lets say company "Z" has paid for its right in that country, and allowing people to use a service in a another country to bypass this is theft. That company Z pays employees that in turnfeed their families. Not subscribing to Z and instead using a service in a foreign country is just as bad as downloading it illegally.
      
      I put this scenario to you. If i run company "Theft", and that company for $2 a year, provides a uFlix service that violates their terms and conditions, would uFlix consider this ok, considering they have already paid for their infrastructure?

      How is that theft? What have you stolen from any company? You have paid a fee for a product. You have not taken anything from company "Z", you simply did not give them your business in the first place.
      
      If you have to go as far as setting up a VPN/smartDNS service (paying more money, doing more work, more of a hassle) in order to get to watch content, via a company in a different country (content that company "z" also provides), then obviously there is something very wrong with company "Z".
      
      That company Z pays employees that in turnfeed their families. Not subscribing to Z and instead using a service in a foreign country is just as bad as downloading it illegally.
      
      So I should get a guilty conscience because company "Z" does not provide a service suitable to me?
      
      Let's say I own a gardening care company. We have the rights to garden for people with the name "unclesnake" in your particular suburb. We charge $1,500 for the full kit (mowing, trimming, etc) once every 12 months. We show up when WE want, we use old crappy tools that are not longer suitable for jobs, unless you pay a premium (think something along the lines of SD and HD). When you try to talk to us our support is terrible and we don't listen… or care.
      
      Now, another guy also owns a gardening care business and his service is $120 per year for the full kit. He uses new tools, gives you the best of the best service, and uses state of the art equipment. He also shows up when you want him to. But he can only do work for you if you tell him your name is "uncleLizzard".
      
      Tell me, would you not tell him your name is actually unclelizzard? By the way, you are feeding that mans family when you purchase his product.
      
      I put this scenario to you. If i run company "Theft", and that company for $2 a year, provides a uFlix service that violates their terms and conditions, would uFlix consider this ok, considering they have already paid for their infrastructure?
      
      If you came up with a service where our customers still pay us $2 per month, and then for some reason pay your business money, you have our blessing.
      
      Thanks.

      Ok, well for that matter downloading movies and music is 100% cool with you, so we end up with no bands, or movie stars, because there is no revenue, movie cinemas close down, bands dont bother starting.
      
      if i fake living in the UK and watch the ashes cricket on bbc player, i have prevented money going to fox sports, which has paid a big some of money to deliver it in Australia. This can go on forever, i could also watch the darts which is free on ITV in England, i could fake living in Ghana where nba league pass is 3 times cheaper….
      
      If you think what you do / work for is ok, thats cool, but you are leeching content from netflix who undoubtably has in their terms you can not be utilizing a vpn…. but what your company does is theft, by prevention of people paying for the service to a locally owned company, putting people out of work, and the ripple effect keeps going.
      
      If i could go into Woolworth and buy my milk for 23c a litre, because I can fake whilst at the register I am in Nigeria (just pretending you can), it is the same thing. Where do you stop, before long no one has a bloody job, and the country collapses.

      So I have no intention of paying UFlix in the first place, but should I find a backdoor in via another service for free or lets say $1 a year instead of $12 is that fine with you, because I had no intention of paying you in the first place?
      
      so you are 100% ok with this, because that's your argument right there. So please let me know when you give me a free account or for $1, because after all I had no intention of giving you this in the first place so you lose no money, and you have already paid for your infrastructure costs, so I am not costing you anything? please say yes….
      
      if you say No you argument is flawed, and Uflix is nothing but dodgy theft
      
      let me know when my $1 subscription is available, in fact extend it to the entire OzBargain community, put your money where your mouth is, and support your own arguement by giving every one accounts for $1

      Yes, you are correct. I have no issue with you getting another unblocking service as opposed to uFlix. Who are we to force you to go with us? You can choose to go with wherever you like. Generally, people choose a company based on a few things. Service, support, etc. If there is a better unblocking service suitable for your needs, you should not give us your business.
      
      Your $1 argument is flawed as it makes no sense at all. However, this has been a fun conversation and a good one, so please shoot me a PM with your uFlix username/e-mail address and I will be sure to set your account up with 1 year access. On the house.
      
      That account is yours, so you can do with it what you wish. You can keep it, you can delete it, you can sell it, or you can give it away to someone. It is your choice.

      I understand rights holders want to maximise their investment, so hopefully there'll be a time in the near future we can access content like through Netflix etc, without artificial geographical restrictions, at a sensible price.
      
      If that happened, I might even forgive the artificial restrictions placed on medium, ie why can't I have a movie I paid for on DVD/BD also be accessible through a home movie server or on other devices without ripping or paying for it again as digital (where it's not included)? Just kidding.

      Thanks, I do. I know the Australian user pays netflix the normal subscription fee. And then the user pays you $16 so they can have access to a Netflix USA. As well as the user doing the work to set up a VPN etc.
      
      I'm saying that from the perspective of Netflix, their two different subscriptions (separated by countries) are to two different markets, and thus two different 'products'.
      
      But you get paid money to give the user access to the second 'product'. Hmmmm. Do you see the logic?

      That's interesting. You can subscribe in Australia, and currently my understanding is if you travelled to the US, this same Australian login will enable you to access US content. Works the other way too.
      
      Compare that to iTunes. I have a US iTunes account and an Australian iTunes account. They are not in any way connected - I can't access content purchased from one account with the other. The difference here however is on my Apple TV, I can easily switch between multiple accounts, even if those accounts are from different geographical locations. Of course there may a difference where one is streamed and other involves "purchasing".
      
      If folks are so hung up about accessing Netflix US content by "faking" where you are located, the same folks should just go and camp out deals which involve US iTunes accounts, US Amazon accounts and whatever else there are that's not Australian based where there are geographical restrictions ("legal" or otherwise) in place.

I already have a VPN subscription with PIA.. Can I use this to access US netflix? Or do I need to get this deal?
- viperxz on 27/01/2016 - 06:14
  
  I was using PIA as well, but netflix has blocked all of their exit points. PIA use data centers as their exit points which are easy for netflix to block in bulk, hence it doesn't look like PIA will resolve this anytime soon.
  
  PIA are not an unblocker, hence they have no need to resolve the issue (in fact PIA have released a statement saying they will not support users in circumventing geoblocking (i.e. if you can get around it using PIA they don't care, but they do not actively support it or will assist you in doing so)).
  
  uFlix's business model is dependent on getting around these blocks. For the price and convenience it can't be beat. My greatest fear is that if netflix ramp up their blocking strategies uFlix may become moot too, however for $16, I figured it was worth a shot.

  You can use our service to access USA Netflix. You can not however use it in conjunction with your VPN.

We have a global economy now. When will the dinosaur capitalists stop their offensive practice of geoblocking and region locking? It is infuriating not being able to purchase a product or service because I am Australian, or having to pay 50% more than Americans, or being stuck with a much more limited selection of content than Americans.

Hi, I use use Chromecast to watch Netflix using the phone app. Will I be able to watch the US content using your service?
- Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 27/01/2016 - 12:34
  
  Hi, yes you will. But you must setup static routes in your router. You can find instructions on that at https://uflix.com.au/troubleshooting
  
  Thanks.

Been with these guys for almost a year and no issues. Only disappointment has been the lack of new regions with only Canada coming to the party since March.

They say more are coming, but at the moment it's one every 10 months.
- amsaini15 on 27/01/2016 - 10:47
  
  Hi Miso, Can you please tell how many regions are currently available apart from USA?
  - Miso on 27/01/2016 - 12:11
    
    UK, Canada, Germany. Plus Australia (if you're accessing from overseas)
    
    In honesty it's a lot of content and the best for TV (US) and movies (Canada) but a few countries in Asia or South / Central America wouldn't go amiss.

I use Netflix on my Sony TV (via apps on the TV), how do I get this to work on that? I also use Netflix in another room on an xbox 360 & One & iPad.

Will all my web traffic across my network then go through your servers? Or only Netflix traffic?
- Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 27/01/2016 - 12:35
  
  Hi,
  
  Only a little bit of Netflix traffic. You can either set up our DNS directly on the devices, or in your router.
  
  Thanks.
  - katz on 27/01/2016 - 18:30
    
    Ok so just to clarify if I do it at a router level - only some Netflix traffic will go through your servers, not all my other web traffic like email, gaming, banking etc. ?
    
    Also will I have to change the DNS back to normal everytime I want AU content from Netflix and channel 7 on demand as an example ?
    - Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 27/01/2016 - 18:43
      
      Correct. However your DNS queries will go through our servers. We do not log of view any of your data. No, you will not need to change your DNS once it is set.
      
      Thanks.

$16 for a year is cheap, but I'd be wary of paying upfront for this kind of service.

Netflix announced 2 weeks ago they will be clamping down on unblockers: https://media.netflix.com/en/company-blog/evolving-proxy-det…
It's possible that Netflix will make their CDN servers enforce geo-blocking (BBC already does this), in which case unblocking services such as uFlix would have to start proxying all streaming data to continue to work. It would not be economically feasible to offer this for $16 per year as their bandwidth bill would explode.

Also, I would recommend only changing DNS servers to uFlix on devices where you actually use Netflix (e.g. only your Apple TV or other streaming box).
If you change DNS settings on your laptop to uFlix servers, you're giving them control to redirect any connection you make - e.g. when you request www.ozbargain.com.au you could be sent to a malicious site instead.

uFlix might never do this, but they could get hacked by someone else.
Zinger on 27/01/2016 - 12:36

bought it as $16 seems to be a good deal. OP, can it be used simultaneously on 2 computers (home and office for example)?

  Hi,
  
  Unfortunately not. It will authorise a single networks IP address. However, you can use it on unlimited devices, as long as they are sharing the same IP address.
  
  Thanks.

Hi, just signed up, was simple enough to setup in router. But as Im on a dynamic ip, will change occaisonly. I realise just a matter of registering the ip address. But would be good if you had an app I can install on my desktop that would poll the router and update the correct ip. Any chance in the future?
- Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 27/01/2016 - 16:50
  
  Hi,
  
  We are adding apps for our sister service. We will look into apps for uflix, or at least features for auto ip updates.

      @uFlix: how do you recommend me doing this
blueskittles on 27/01/2016 - 18:32

Silly me signed up so I can get my mum in Sydney to use it also as she loves Netflix. Turns out only authorises one IP and doesn't bypass Chromecast. Basically doesn't do anything I bought it to do. :/
- Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 27/01/2016 - 18:41
  
  Yes, only one ip can be authed. If she wants a uflix account she will need her own. It can work on chrome cast, but your router needs to support static routes. You can read about it at https://uflix.com.au/troubleshooting.
  
  Thanks.

This might be a silly question, I've used unblocking sites in the past…

Is there a better way of using Uflix on my Xbox One, so between watching Netflix and online gaming I don't need to go into my Xbox settings and change the DNS servers between default and Uflix DNS to avoid lag?
- Store Rep[Deactivated] @ uFlix on 27/01/2016 - 18:54
  
  Hi,
  
  No, this is not possible. However you will find our lag on our DNS should be almost on par with your ISP. It is worth checking the ping on it, but there is no way to split the two automatically depending on what you are doing.
  
  Thanks.

I have a Netflix subscription and only have the app on the WD media player to watch Netflix. Has anyone been able to use uFlix with only what I have available to me as in the above?

I would love to join up with uFlix if I can get it to work with the WD media player.
