Ok understand that, sorry should have asked what vpn you using. I am using unotelly, and usually you can select a region with the region picker, was working fine last week but now netflix picks up my region blocker all the time.

I'm using Borderless Internet, they are new to the game and this is what attracted me:

We didn’t set out to design a media unblocking service. Our unblocking is a side effect of the Borderless security and geo relocation technology we have developed from the ground up.
It works in a very different way than any of the other “unblockers” we are aware of. It may look similar in that the set up is as simple as pointing your DNS to us, but on the backend it is very very different. For example every time each one of our users visits netflix they do so from a new distinct IP address exclusive to them for that visit.

Great, go for the trial and remember to report back if it works.

They get hit a lot with DDoS which sometimes makes their services very slow.

It happened twice last month where I was unable to access Netflix or Hulu because I was bypassing geo location restrictions.

They are getting there though a few teething issuse, but the DDos attack wasn't aimed at them, it was aimed at someone else using the same hosting provider and they suffered due to collateral damage.

I have to say every time they go down they come back even better than before so they are definitely learning from the issues.
 
Unotelly is more or less working at the moment but normal web browsing is almost non-existent due to dns timeouts.
Getting very annoying.
 
Going to give this a bash as well, cheers ;)

I paid for months in advance for unotelly and it's pretty much useless now. I wonder if they pause our subscriptions when they can't technically provide the service we paying for.
