Maybe you get a different IP address is you request a hostname lookup from a different location (provided via DNS4Me's DNS Server), and...
The [GetFlix FAQ](https://www.getflix.com/faqs/) seems to imply that your connection is going through GetFlix's server, and then being...
Fair enough :-) It just sounds a bit too dodgy for my liking, and you won't know until its too late. I think I'll stick with a VPN that...
Okay - Looks like they are selling a proxy? The DNS stuff sounds like snake-oil, but a proxy would work regardless of whether you use their...

Thanks Arsonist - It looks like it works for me.
I would speculate that the code was only valid for the one account perhaps?
Yes - and when something goes wrong and we 'lose out', whatever the value of the loss, consider it a payment for further education (as long...
Perhaps not entirely the point. If my son had wanted to do something like that, I would likely have facilitated it too even if I thought it...

For the freezer, we use the plastic bags that bread comes in - we would be throwing them out if we didn't re-use them for freezer bags, so...
