Netflix movies

Good movie selection updated monthly, USA has a better selection than Canada

You are right in most cases R/R, too bad you can't use the VPN or Manual Mac address change anymore

Manual Mac address change

I know VPNs, I know DNS services that resolve Netflix domains to US-hosted reverse proxies, but have never heard about using MAC spoofing to access georestricted content. How did that work?

To my knowledge, what to do is checking who's streaming from a datacenter IP, or from an address shared by other customers, perhaps complemented by a simple port scan to confirm suspicions. This means the tricks still work in principle, but any provider offering them to the public (for free or for a fee) will eventually get "caught".

If you're able to rent a server in the United States, set up a proxy or VPN there and use it for yourself only, that should work.

Actually in theory and reality i could do this with my mother in-laws place in Florida, believe it or not i just don't have the password/login for the ISP/Cable there. I never remember it or forget to write it down when i am there
And my Netflix account works everywhere, i know that because i use it there, and that is even more dumb that my Canadian subscription/account works there, i just assume because it sees that it is a US ip address i am logging in with and it works, the question now is?? Can i change the DNS to Xfinity in Canada, and will it work

What username and password are you talking about?

Anyway, running a proxy on her connection (a secure one with authentication, on a high port, and with DDNS so that you can actually find and use it) would work in principle. Thing is, I'm not sure the upload speed would be good enough to stream anything higher than 720p for a single person; also, most providers have a "don't host any kind of servers" policy.

No, the DNS trick didn't work that way. What those services did is running a DNS server that resolves Netflix domains to reverse proxies of their own, and everything else normally. Then, when you typed www.netflix.com in your browser, you'd actually be redirected to a proxy that operates in the United States and thus gets (and gives you) the US version of the site.

A "normal" DNS server won't do this; in fact, most ISP-run ones block requests from other providers and countries in the interest of security.

Oh i was talking about signing into Xfinity, you can use it basically as ITV, and good thing they have there in Florida is u can actually sign in everywhere, they have hot spots for internet......

So really there is no work around??

I honestly can't think of a good Netflix movie. They're all just ok. Pick one and try to watch it. If you don't like it, pick a different one. And now you know...

I assume you are talking Netflix originals?? They actually do have some good exclusive TV series/documentaries

I'm not acquainted with that, so you'll have to give it a try.

With one of these and a couple hours of work, you could try setting up your private proxy next time you visit the sunshine state. Maybe it won't work as bad as I thought In a worst-case scenario, you'll be around 15 to 20 dollars short and still have a minirouter that could be useful for future projects.
