DNH,

Now that I've been on a 20/2/300 Start pkg for about 5 weeks, I'm beginning to experiment with DNS Proxy Servers for Netflix (to name one streaming service being considered).

Any comments on Unblock-US, Blockless, HideMyNet, Tunlr, etc?
(HMN has a promo code: 50OFF2013 ti cut an annual recurring subscription in half from $48.99 to $24.50 USD!

(Naturally, it would be nice to hear that that one is a good one with which to hook up)

I use Unblock-US and i'm very happy with it. Even SuperHD works with it (with Netflix).

 
Sorry, but I have not used any of those so far, but am considering to, as you seem to be.

You'll be kind enough to post what you think, if you get there first ?

Happened to choose Blockless which offered NO credit card required to set up, though I know when the trial is over in a week, then out must come the plastic :-(.

While reading others' comments on Blockless, Unblock-US, TUNLR, UNOTelly, etc, saw a post regarding a special code offer which would apply for life-time annual subscriptions with HideMyNet.

There are a couple of disclaimers that not all streaming sites work right off the bat and may require HMN's support to tweak for various devices (Boxee, Roku, XBox-360, HTIB BDs with Smart Hub.

Web site seems quite professional and highly informative ...

Basically, one receives Proxy DNS, VPN for $24.50 USD / year with this discount code ...

Anyone have any feedback (good or bad) for this one? At $24.50 USD, this seems a pretty good deal at just over $2 USD / month. makes Netflix just over $10 for anywhere, not just Canada.

Sorry Dave,

Didn't notice a 2nd page here with your post on it :-(.
I haven't YET tried HMN as I'm still checking out Blockless with their NO Credit Card Required trial.

So far, Netflix is touring the US nicely - even shows movies we have NOT watched as having been watched (havent't even -looked- at the titles even ...

Maybe I can locate the HMN poster and ask these questions - I believe it was on the Digital Home site.
