You need to specify a modified DNS or connect via VPN.
I don't mind paying for it, I just don't know how to go about it. I can't change much on my TV other than the wireless info.
I've just tried using DNS that blockless provide and now when I try and open netflix it just says I can't access it at the time.
Wtf, getting annoyed at it now[emoji20]

I found the whole DNS changing a pain in the ass, as they way I was doing it you had to keeping changing the settings.
I use Hola extension on chrome, but that doesn't really help on any other platform.
I'd be quite interested too if there is an easy way to watch on other platforms as I prefer Netflix US and can watch the WWE Network.

I did see that, it's got a list of devices but there's nothing for a Toshiba TV.
I had to revert back to a UK DNS to get it working again.
When I was looking last night at films, Never back down 2 and Pain and Gain were there. I went to watch them just now and they're 'unavailable'.
c***s!
Do you have these settings on your TV? DNS values should be whichever service you are using.
Settings
Go to Network
Go to Network Setup
Go to Advanced Network Setup
Go to DNS Setup
Set Auto Setup to Off
Enter ********** as primary DNS and **********as secondary DNS
Exit the setup
Restart TV
If you've signed up to unblockus and used their DNS settings then it should work. I switch between regions using the mobile site. Quick and easy.
When using the correct DNS you then need to tell it which region you want to watch. Select that and relaunch Netflix.

Yep, absolutely fine.
No different to what sneeks has detailed above yeah, I'm a noob to Mac's and its taking a fair bit of googling to navigate haha.
type into your browser http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1 - it'll likely be one of those :]
Nothing to change on Netflix, it'll automatically load whichever region you have selected via unblockus. Easy to tell it has changed region from the age ratings on the listings.
Always remember you need to choose a region to switch to on the unblockus website or web app. Changing the DNS does not automatically switch your region, it only places the correct settings for you to view the region you select.
Yes I usually need to exit the Netflix app and reopen it. On PS4 or Xbox I need to close the app fully before reloading it.
If you use the web app to switch regions on a phone then make sure you are on the same wifi network at the time and you may need to update your IP address within the web app region selector page. If the IP address has changed while your phone has been on a mobile network then your Netflix service will probably give you a logon error when you try to access it. Select Update IP Address as shown to fix that error.
Ignore the DNS message on my screenshot, I've not configured the DNS on my iPhone as I don't use Netflix on there for anything other than UK region.

When you say "same wi-fi network" is that the same as you initially set it up on?
Personally I don't plan to use my iPhone or iPad to stream Netflix over a mobile network but I have set the VPN up tonight on my home wi-fi... if I go to the missus' house will I have to reset the VPN again to the same numbers I was given tonight.
Sorry if this is simple and as Liam says Thanks.

Yes connect to the same wifi network as the device you are using Netflix on.
At the missus' house you'd need to configure the DNS on the router or individual devices there. Then once you've connected to the wifi with your iPhone or iPad you'd need to Update the IP address on the web app to let unblockus know that you are using your account at that location and on that IP address. That assumes you are using your iPhone to select regions.
I take my Mac over with me when I'm there so by what you have said I shouldn't need to change anything right? Maybe re-input the DNS code in my Mac that I was given tonight while on her wi-f? I don't plan to use Netflix on a mobile device (iPad & iPhone) while at her's or on any mobile network... I also don't have the app so won't be switching zones on that.
We share the same Netflix account so while I am at home watching the American side of Netflix, will she be able to watch the British side concurrently on her iPad? Its her's account after all so don't want to mess it up for her.
Yes she can continue to watch Netflix on her iPad. Have you setup a separate Netflix Profile for each of you on her account?
You cannot share the unblockus account concurrently in two locations though so probably best to only use that on your own device. If she's only using UK Netflix then not a issue anyway as she doesn't need to use unblockus.
The DNS code will remain in your Mac so you'll not need to change that, simply refresh the IP address you are now connected via on the region select page of the unblockus website. Once that's done you're all set to view.

We're currently using the same profile as we like to keep tabs on where we're in a series while I'm away so we can be at the same point on my return and watch things together. Would you suggest making a profile for myself in her account?
Okay thanks, no plans to try my code in her devices (well maybe :wink
but we planned to set up a separate unblockus account for her tomorrow so she can take advantage too. Can you see any problems in that? Cheers for all the help, I could work through all these query's but it would take me a lifetime and i'd loose patience otherwise.
