You should really stop using that thing, unless you enjoy being part of a botnet.

Shhhh, benefits of being part of the luminati

It's also only for the US region and can't flip channels like Unotelly. But it is free and therefore good to test with...and keep if you are happy. You can pay I recall $10 once off to use DynDNS and no longer need to visit the site once a month, which is less hassle than Unotelly where you need to visit the IP Update page or wait for your DynDNS to sync again.

Some ISPs, including Telkom, offer a free Dynamic DNS service which means any updating is done on their side not yours - you just point Unotelly to that and you're sorted.

Yes I'm doing that already, but a Unotelly only checks that at some random long interval.

So if you had a router reboot you can either wait forever, or force it with the IP Update bookmark.

You don't need a local server. The actual data stream doesn't go through the DNS server so there is no performance benefit to local servers

Or you just setup a cronjob on the router to run every x mins and wget the IP Update bookmark link.

So with Netflix coming officially to SA in January how is everyone going to connect? I already have it setup on my PlayStation with unotelly but will probably get another more mobile device to use. I have a Chromecast so I'll see if that works with the app but I think I'll also get a Roku 3, the 4 is too expensive right now or maybe the Chromebit when it is launched.

Hi JJCT,

Chromebit is available now on Takealot.
