Hi,
I am looking for good, reliable, cost effective Smart DNS service. Mainly for Netflix, but could use it for other streaming as well. I do have Surfshark & keepsolid VPNs, but Netflix doesn't work on them.
I saw Getflix, Trickbyte & SmartDNS as reviewed online. Any are good.
Things to consider
1. Should work for Netflix
2. Price
3. Possible to run on Samsung tv, ios, chromecast, windows.
Any discounts/coupons if you know of.
Thanks.
Tried few US servers for Netflix and always got nz recommendations, so I believe it is not working.
Getflix offers a free 14 day trial. It's tied to your IP address so no need for credit card details. And they give you discounts the closer you get to the end of your trial. I can look through my trash emails if you want to know the discounted cost.
I gave it a go when I was trying to watch streams from Australia and Paramount+ from the U.S.A. Ended up going with dns4me just because I got it to work first.
Works on my browser and Android box but can't figure out the right settings for getting it to work through my Skinny modem. Think that's just a me problem. I only need it on my Android box anyway.
Somehow Getflix doesn't work for US netflix on trial. So definitely need some confirmation it works before I go ahead.
Does dns4me work with netflix?
I looked earlier and it definitely has USA Netflix under services you can activate. I don't have Netflix so can't test it for you. Might be some yarns about it over at OzBargain.
Just remembered dns4me does a 7 day trial too so definitely give it a go.
I've been using DNS4ME for a couple years. Have only got Netflix recently (and not really watching it much tbh) but it's working with DNS4ME getting the American content.
Watching through Netflix app on Samsung TV, Netflix app on Fire TV and Netflix app on Ipad.
Thanks. Will try it out.
How you get on in the end?
Alternative option could be Kodi + Seren + Real-Debrid or similar combo. I watch Moon Knight and partner watches Bridgerton / Schitts Creek with no issues. Think that’s Netflix and Disney+.
I got surfshark working on laptop and iphone with US server for Netflix. Sometimes it doesn't work so just close the Netflix and change the server and it is all good.
Haven't found a way to get surfshark on Samsung tv so that is missing for now. Don't have time at the moment so will dig on it later
I have used this service for years. Fast and good customer service. IMHO best one out there.
About $40 a year.
I have it set up for BBC Spotify and many others.
Surfshark works fine for Netflix. You may need to occasionally change servers. You can't use it (or any VPN I've found) on a Android TV however.
