Hi guys, I know that a few of you have been using American Netflix through services like Unblock Us. But the last couple of days I cannot get it to work on anything. I have tried Playstation 4, 3 and Xbox One and I get the same message every time. I got in touch with Unblock Us and they were about as helpful as a chocolate fire guard. Surprising as I have been using them for years without any kind of issue. I have even tried a few other sites that offer DNS settings so you can access American Netflix and I get the same message. It is very frustrating and I just cannot find a work around at all. Honestly afetr seeing how much more content the American Netflix has I am not sure I could go back to paying the same price if I only get the British Netflix library if any of you guys have managed to keep your American Netflix service I would love to hear how.

I use the Hola add on for Chrome to access US Netflix, works a charm!

There was something in The Sun today about the US version of Netflix having twice as much content as the UK does, and people are using location disguising methods to view the US version. Netflix stated that they are "trying to close this loophole." So maybe the problems you're having is Netflix beginning to do exactly that.

Netflix have said they're stopping people from using unblockers and proxies, sadly.
Although it does seem to still work sporadically, often taking several tries.

Netflix are finally cracking down on the illegal accessing of different regions. They must be under quite a bit of pressure to do so from the license holders.

Around 3 weeks ago I was able to log in to the Swedish Netflix, I then disconnected, changed the region on unblocker and tried the Spanish Netflix, it gets to the point of pressing play on a film but an error message appears stating "you seem to be using a proxy".
What's interesting is that unblocker released a statement saying it will get around it and not to worry. However, they haven't and I like many others have cancelled subscriptions.
For the time being, the game is up. The way in which unblocker style sites get around it no longer works. Matter of time before new code is developed, but I can't see unblocker and others staying in business.

Just to let you guys know, Unblock Us is pretty much done But I have been using a service called PlaymoTv which is working on my Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, but it is NOT working on PS4 or Xbox One so I have had to bring the PS3 back into the living room. But at least I am able to access American Netflix again.
