Pecking your favorite programs by moving from Netflix to another catalog from one country to another, it’s over! Our colleagues from UberGizmo relate indeed Uflix that users of a service “smartDNS” Australia, are now being block the road. A message is displayed when trying to connect to the Netflix service of another country. “It seems that you use a unblocker [Editor's note, a location lock circumvention device] or proxy. Please disable these services and try again “, reads.
A declaration of war very recent
The War is declared between Netflix and VPN services, proxies and other unblockers. Reed Hastings, Netflix boss says to anyone who will listen for months that his ambition is to provide a unique offering, World. The best way, he said, to fight against content pirates. Meanwhile, those who wanted to take advantage of series or movies available on Netflix in other countries, mainly the United States, could use software solutions, such as VPN or proxy services to bypass geographic limitations established by Netflix.
It was in any case known and tolerated the situation until last week. On 13 January, Netflix has indeed abruptly changed its policy and announced its intention to declare war on these practices. Earlier this week, VPN providers in turn are mounted to the plate and came into resistance, saying they would do everything to ensure that their clients are beyond the blockage. It seems they can quickly demonstrate their determination.
In search of a solution
On its official blog, after having formalized the problem, called Uflix Netflix users blocked by submitting a message describing their concern in five or six points. Each responds to a specific question: what the user subscribed to Netflix before it is available in Australia? Does the ban only works when accessing Netflix USA? Are DNS defined by the user’s router or directly in the device? etc. These questions are designed to identify the problem in order to help find a possible solution.
For now, the game of cat and mouse that will engage the services of operators like Uflix and Netflix, the latter has the advantage. But workarounds providers will certainly find a temporary solution. It does not seem that Netflix blocks its services in France for now, but could change quickly.
Now that it is available in most countries of the world except China, the giant SVoD hardens tone, perhaps to meet content providers with which it passes local agreements. While waiting to provide a global supply
