    I got a lifetime subscription during the last deal. Absolutely non complaints.

    But these lifetime subscriptions are interesting for their business model. Services like these need ongoing income to continue running, and to research and implement new techniques around geoblocking. If a larger proportion of their customer base jumps on the lump sum payment method, it's less likely that their business model will be sustainable in the long-run.

    Tl;dr: If too many people sign up on lifetime subscriptions, Getflix may not run for very much longer.

    FWIW, I've been w/ unblock and they've really not responded at all re: Netflix crackdown on Geoblocking. Getflix seems to be the only service that's responded at al to the changes. For that reason, I'm signing up for this deal.

  • Aneurism on 25/05/2016 - 01:34

    Getflix works well for me. I subscribed to this last round's offering.

    Never had any hiccups with it and Netflix, Hulu or others.. the actual VPN also came in handy around NBA subscription time. I figure even if it lasts me another year or two, I've gotten my money's worth from it.

    I signed up with the the viewpoint that if it lasts 2 years or more, then I've more than broken even.

    PS. I probably never saw any Netflix problems as I signed up with a US account before it came about in Australia.

        Depending on your setup. The new method is not possible on the Optus cable router, and when you do get it working, it is apparently not working on the Xbox One. May get around to plugging in a second router, can't be bothered with it at the moment.

          Routers provided by ISPs are generally terrible. It's an added expense but getting a good router - preferably one that runs DD-WRT/Tomato/OpenWRT - has many benefits. Xbox One works fine if your router is configured correctly:

          I appreciate that getting this set up correctly is not easy but it works for everyone else who's tagged, including me. The problem is almost certainly at your end and it's unlikely that Getflix will be able to do anything further for you as they do provide a system that works (for the regions they currently support).

          @Dagmar:

          I'm not doubting your effort but that doesn't negate the fact that their service works when everything is configured correctly. When it doesn't work, it means that direct requests to the Google DNS servers or the Netflix video servers have made it through. Sometimes it works without blocking access to the Netflix video servers (sometimes not) but Google DNS must always be blocked. This is simple network stuff, there is no magic. My suggestion is to post politely in the Whirlpool thread with the exact hardware you are using and see if someone can help:

          @dazweeja: You didn't need to block the google dns but I was having issues so I got around to blocking that and the netflix servers and it all seems to work now.

          Bonus is before I couldn't use the Chromecast to watch Netflix US and now I can but blocking the servers listed by getflix also fixed any issues I had with my samsung smart tv and netflix US.

  • roweysvn on 25/05/2016 - 08:44

    You can take my 'testimonial' with a grain of salt. But Getflix was the first unblocking service I had used and I've had it since the start of the year. I've had a couple of hiccups along the way when Netflix cracked down on proxy services etc, but after some digging around on the whirlpool forums and being able to do DNS forwarding on my router things seem to be pretty good again. I do find my speed is capped at around 30Mbps to Netflix when Getflix is enabled (I have a 100Mbps connection) but for the most part streaming is fine, occasionally I have to change my region, but that's once in a blue moon.

    • blandest on 25/05/2016 - 08:56

      Can you stream 4K content through getflix? I'm assuming yes if you are getting 30mbps?

      • blandest on 25/05/2016 - 08:57

        Also can you please post a link to the dns forwarding stuff you have done? Thanks heaps :)

      • roweysvn on 25/05/2016 - 09:16

        I'm only on the $11.99 plan with netflix, so I only get HD content. Never tried UHD.

        As for the Netflix DNS Forwarding you can find my reply to a whirlpool post here - https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2508180&…

        But for those who don't want to follow the link, I added these two lines to my OpenWRT router DNS forwarding section. Seems "netflix.com" just wasn't enough after a while. Some of these links could probably be removed too, I just went off another user's recommendations.

          I have the UHD subscription (get up to 100MBps with Optus cable) - I really like it but there probably isn't enough content to justify the plan upgrade unless you're a real enthusiast like me.

        • jelko on 25/05/2016 - 12:49

          @cindernat: The fact that you can share your UHD plan with 4 people (only 2 people on HD) sounds like a justifiable reason.

    For 30 years of VPN it would be a good deal (if they upgrade the speeds over time…) but I can't imagine the SmartDNS trick working forever (unless Netflix was complacent) OR assume their VPNs won't be banned. Popularity guarantees visibility.

    For a nerd it's easy enough to setup a super-budget 64MB VPS to use from $2 USD a year for VPN/squid-proxy purposes. On the other hand, Netflix has started banning VPS providers as well.

  • shadowfax1007 on 25/05/2016 - 14:31

    I've been using Getflix for about a year now, mostly without issue.

    Getflix was flawless until Netflix began their giant crackdown. I was one of the account that got "tagged" and for about 2 months I had issues watching US Netflix on any of my various devices. Sometimes it worked, most the time it didn't. It seems Getflix is now working again on most devices, the main exception being Xbox One - which is my primary media device.

    To bypass the Xbox One issue I used IPTables on my router which is flashed with Tomato firmware. For most people this isn't an easy fix. You need a router that supports custom firmwares like DD-WRT or Tomato and then be comfortable installing that firmware on your router.

    So consider this if you use an Xbox One for Netflix.

  • lonewolf on 25/05/2016 - 14:32

    Hi Guys, I have been leaning towards getting Netflix. So whats the go, If I get this deal. Then i need to get a netflix account / package. How do i choose if i get the US Netflix or AU Netflix?

    • Nightshade on 25/05/2016 - 15:22

      No real difference, apart from the currency you're charged in. A Netflix US account will have access to exactly the same films/TV shows as Netflix AU.

      • lonewolf on 25/05/2016 - 17:11

        huh? I thought people were saying that the whole point of this or other VPNs is that you get access to Netflix US that has far more shows available than the Aussie Netflix? I am confused?

        • WeiKaiLe on 25/05/2016 - 17:48
          +1

          I believe Nightshade means when using from Australia. No matter what country your billing information is set up through you'll get the content of whatever country you are currently in. So if I have an AU account but I go to Japan, I'll now be watching Japanese content.

          The DNS option offered by Getflix and others makes it appear you are in another country, thus getting you access to that country's content. e.g. I set my region as Japan in Getflix and now I can watch shows that are available to people who are viewing from Japan despite being in Australia.

        • lonewolf on 26/05/2016 - 17:04

          @WeiKaiLe:

          Oh I get you, so i should just get the standard australian account through the aussie website and if i go through getflix, I get access to all the content, not just the cut down BS.

    Any connection issues, ensure your IP has been updated if you don't have a static IP with your ISP.

    Ensure you're signed into the PSN Network (lately, mine had been signed out without telling me and Netflix wouldn't connect - this was because of a DHCP issue).

    Try the steps here and configure the settings on your router: https://www.getflix.com.au/netflix-update

    Cycle through the different regions as only one of the sites may be working for the US, UK, etc.

  • kellycarlos on 26/05/2016 - 16:28

    wow, am i glad i have notifications turned off when i posed this.
    ultimately i went with this service because
    1. Unblock.us failed me, with horrible customer service which didnt work, then no word from them in over a month (lucikly i was over seas for most of it so didnt watch any netflix)
    2. when i compared to other 'DNS proxies' the price was on par with their yearly services. so as long as this last for more than 1 year i am saving money.
    I did the trial first of course, and it all worked. they openly update when something goes wrong (reading their forums and such) unlike unblock.us who just removed any mention of netfilx from their page
    i guess its also worth mentioning that im using consoles for most of my viewing, so setting up is easy as changing some DNS settings.

    Deal is still on, looks like it is a rolling deal that is always about to end…

    Keen to get this, use Netflix on the new generation Apple TV. Do they have a guide to set this up?

    Interesting to pick this up 9 months on…

    Do people still find more content available on US Netflix compared with Australia Netflix?/
    Can you bypass this with the category search:

      yes, there are shows that are only accessible through US Netflix that don't show up through category search.
