The definitive guide to Netflix and Hulu in South Africa

Ugh, I am getting frustrated with setting up the static routes on my router... DSL-2750U. Following the unotelly guide, but even after saving and rebooting I can still ping those addresses... Any kind souls willing to lend a hand?

Use ip filtering on your router instead of static routes. Basically you block outgoing traffic to an ip address. It's what I do instead of static routes.

Here's what I block on my trendnet router:

Can you post a pic of your static ip settings? Two things to double check upfront 1. The subnet mask is 255.255.255.255 and not the typical 255.255.255.0 2. The gateway ip address should be something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.2 etc which is the ip you use to log in to your router.

I just tested this set up -



EDIT - 192.168.1.1 is my router's IP address.

This simple change just fixed my issues. Netflix is working 100% on the Roku again, thank you very much!

I had previously set the static ip to the IPv4 address rather than the router ip address, my bad

Oh, and I now owe SL1v3R a beer

Aye, my issue was using the wrong IP for the route. Works perfectly now that I simply switched in the router IP. Many thanks to you as well!

Mmm, I have the exact same settings but not the same router (tp-link). Have you enabled the settings which is what I need to select on mine. Sorry, not much help.

Netflix is still working though

Are you guys using unotelly still OK ?

I had this problem the other night trying to watch Hulu on my Roku - I switched to two US DNS addresses, restarted the router, and it worked again.

UnoTelly, Hulu+ and Netflix all working perfectly for me.

Hi guys

I've used UnoTelly and have successfully registered a Netflix account. However, when I chose any show to watch it takes me to a webpage with the series cover as background and loading icon (red circular motion) but nothing loads or plays.

Any advice on what it could be?

Thanks in advance

+1 - you probably missing a plugin on your browser.

Hi, I am using the latest Chrome. An update, it started playing eventually if I left it long enough. I find that strange because I have a 10Mbps ADSL line, could it be that my line was too slow last night? I will be checking this afternoon again to make sure.

A further request guys, is how would I be able to get the Netflix app on my Android smartphone?

Who is your ISP?
10Mbps should be great!- Im on a 4Mbps line and Netflix is excellent
For Netflix use this link - anything later has Foreced DNS look up

I have Netflix laying around somewhere. I'll check on my PC, but might be on my work PC, then I'll check tomorrow.

The forced DNS lookup shouldn't be a problem if UnoTelly DNS is setup on the router would it?

Show Box is also a brilliant app for Android - Movies and Series. I have an addfree version of you're interested.

Has anyone experienced issues with Netflix on their PS4?

I can use it on my AppleTV, Xbox 360 and iOS devices ( iPhone 6, 6+ and 5 ) with no problems at all. On my PS4 the moment I want to start a video, I get a AIP-701 error.

I have tried everything possible that Google and Unotelly have suggested, but nothing works. I have set up my Asus router with static routes to block the public lookups.
