This is fantastic! I'm just not sure what it means by connect with VPN DNS. Please can someone explain or link to a guide. Thank you

By default that's what the Eddie app uses.

Was server hopping to check latency, routes, etc.. and noticed on Cursa I get the proxy/blocked message from Netflix. Wasn't so a few days ago.

Hello!

 

Just checked and it works perfectly as usual. Can you please make sure that your system queries VPN DNS? This is a strictly necessary requirement to access our geo-routing system. If you run Eddie, the Air free and open source software client, this will happen by default.

 

Kind regards

Hi,

 

What setting in the .ovpn config file will force VPN DNS? I'm currently running on a Raspberry PI and Netflix isnt showing anything with the VPN running.

Thanks.

Hello!

 

If you run OpenVPN directly you should consider some script to take care of the DNS push (OpenVPN will not process the DNS push by itself). Please check here:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenVPN#Update_resolv-conf_script

 

Kind regards

The script already exists in my setup and cat /etc/resolv.conf shows the AirVPN DNS has been added. When I attempt to play something on Netflix though, it detects the VPN. My normal ISP DNS servers also exist in resolv.conf, should that be the case?

Hello!

 

Maybe you try to access Netflix from a device which is behind the Raspberry box. In this case please check the DNS settings of such device, which of course take precedence over the Raspberry DNS.

 

Kind regards

As I've also got the Raspbian desktop installed I've used the Eddie client. This does remove the ISP name servers from resolv.conf when it starts the VPN connection so it looks like i will have to modify the push DNS script that is ran from command line to do the same.

Is this still working?

 

I have tested with my Nvidia Shield, FireTV and Roku (this one I knew would be difficult) and it didn't work.

 

According to ipleak.net, my Cursa server based  VPN internet connection is tight. But I am only getting that infamous message blocking me.

 

Please, let me know.

 

PS: Although is not the subject of this topic, Hulu is working on the NSTV and FT. Amazon Prime Video doesn't work at all. BTW, Amazon Music doesn't work either.

Hi! I have been trying to get Netflix to work via Nvidia Shield TV Eddie app but it is mostly hit and miss and recently it has stopped altogether. When I watch via my MacOS Eddie app, Netflix is working. Also using Asus-merlin firmware flashed router without any script, Netflix works without issues on US servers. How do I get to watch it via Shield TV? I am asking this because watching via router, here in China, the picture is not very clear and too much of buffering. Watching via Eddie seems to be faster and very little buffering. I have already tried to change the DNS of the primary router at 10.4.0.1 but the problem with Shield TV has not been resolved yet. What can I do to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

Netflix US is working perfectly from my Win machine and my Android tablet, running Eddie on both, no matter which VPN server I connect to. Great job guys!

Does anyone have a helpful setup guide on using this with DD-WRT type routers in terms of how you get the DNS settings set correctly?

Thanks

Have you tried following the staff's how to? https://airvpn.org/ddwrt/

something is up with the Android TV app though and I am wondering if you guys can pinpoint why I get the proxy error on that client. I can access Netflix fine on my phone behind the same router hosting the VPN tunnel and even do so on my computer as well but the Android TV app does not work. I actually tried smart DNS with the same results so apparently there is something more to the Android TV app that is detecting the tunnel. It's not hard coded DNS servers because I force redirected all DNS inquiries to the appropriate DNS server (yours or the smart DNS in my various tests).

Please look into your Netflix situation.  I just attempted to watch a video but the speed that could be sustained was so slow the video was unwatchable.  Playback on other video streaming services that worked through the VPN were quite speedy.  Vudu, for example, burst to 300mbit/s to buffer.  Curiousity Stream buffered at 100mbit/s.  Your netflix setup could only manage 5mbit/s.  Not near enough for a 4k stream.

Thanks.

Hello Staff and All,

Is Netflix still working for you, please? Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me. I am using Eddie on Win machine for my connections, VPN DNS and have no leaks which I checked on ipleak.net.

I have a Netflix account created in one of EU countries but according to previous comments that should not affect connection. I first used Netflix about a month ago and it was working relatively fine. I got occasional Streaming error due to proxy... but refreshing the page solved it and streaming continued.

It is a different story now. I have tried to connect from quite few US, UK, NL, SE… servers but I always get the same known Streaming error: You seem to be using an unblocker or proxy… and no matter what I try I cannot pass that. Interesting is that from some servers it started to stream the content but that worked for only few minutes then it stopped (sorry, I haven’t mark down specific servers). It looks like it is buffering but it never does and once I refresh the page I get the above mentioned error.

When I login to Netflix account I can see the following IP addresses as the ones used by my streaming activity:

Maryland (US) - 12.139.254.67

Virginia (US) - 65.220.84.18

Maryland (US) - 12.139.254.82

Maryland (US) - 12.139.255.63

Maryland (US) - 12.139.253.52

Does anyone have any suggestions what could be causing this and how to fix it, please? Thank you.

Can you refresh my memory to use VPN DNS? 

[daniel39851 0]

can somone please confirm that netflix is still working.

[go558a83nk 362]

I've got pfsense working to redirect all DNS requests to 10.4.0.1 but still roku and shield tv Netflix does not work on Equuleus.  Apple TV netflix does work.

Somehow they are sniffing things out and I've confirmed that no DNS requests other than to 10.4.0.1 are sent by looking at my states table.

[daniel39851 0]

ok thanks for the reply im using a vpn router where you can put in a custom DNS. iv got netflix working on my pc but i still cant get it working on my android tv.

Update to my previous post on 07/14/2019.
I have tried the netflix after 2 weeks. It connected me via different IPs than the ones I mentioned previously and it surprisingly worked without issues for 2 days. But the same Streaming error started to occur again today. It started in the middle of streaming and I cannot watch anything anymore again. I have tried several servers but it is still the same. I have not changed any settings or anything else. How could it be that it worked for 2 days and then it detects proxy in the middle of streaming? What does it influence and more importantly is there a way to overcome this behavior? Now I don't know when my streaming will stop (if it even starts) so it is really unreliable. Any help or suggestion would be much appreciated! Thank you.

For what it is worth, I am having the exact same problem using Eddie in Windows 10. I have a work around, but it isn't very elegant. When Netflix stops streaming in the middle of watching a show, I don't close Netflix and just leave it buffering, and then I switch over to Eddie, and connect to a different server than the one that I was connected to. Most of the time, Netflix starts streaming again, but sometimes it doesn't. If it doesn't, I just keep trying different servers. Hope this helps.

Netflix not working for me at this time, windows 10 and I am letting Eddie do the DNS....
