said by corster:said by Canada4:said by alienzzz:Unblock-us works by replacing your DNS servers with their own, so it should work on any device in theory... You can try it for free for 7 days and find out.
Then how come when I use googles american dns (8.8.8.8 and 4.4.4.4) I dont get the sam effect?
Unblock US resolves the domains of sites such as Netflix and Hulu through their proxy server rather than directly to the site.
well if thats how it works, than a VPN is potentially better than a bottlenecked proxy.
and the only speed tests that matter are the ones that go through those selected american sites.
though it has little benefit, you can tell ufc.com still resolves to the original server, and forwards to ufc.ca, and that unblock-us is selecting which sites go through their proxy.
with a vpn, you select that on every site, you will appear as the selected country's server.
sites like hidemyass, and strongvpn give multiple cities, and countries around the world.
with that said the unblock-us trial seems to work fine on ps3 canadian netflix account, brought up the HD US content right away.
i wonder how they control the trial with simply DNS, perhaps it has a static ip DNS per account.
