    anyone know how to setup on a Samsung TV without messing with modem settings?
    See Part 2 of this guide: https://www.smartydns.com/support/how-to-set-up-smart-dns-on-samsung-smart-tv/

    Just replace the DNS they mention with GetFlix's Irish DNS (54.72.70.84).

    Took a 2 week trial of Getflix and am trying it on the Shield.. seems to be working fine but anyone else have issues loading poster data on Netflix? Did a search for "The Office" was presented with a load of black boxes where the art / poster for titles should be. I managed to click into what I was looking for by reading the title (and the episodes played fine) but a bit strange.

    Do they have an app that you can use on the Shield? VPN unlimited has it works pretty well.
    Did you sort out the missing loading the poster data?

    No, the GetFlix app isn't compatible with the Shield unfortunately.

    No direct app as far as i know when i last tried it a few weeks ago. you can use Openvpn app on shield and the download the openvpn setting from getflix. Import it in and once setup, leave openvpn running in background. It should work

    Can confirm that Getflix does work on a Gen 1 Firestick but still has some poster issues there.. not quite missing all but slow loading art plus you'll see boxart shifting / disappearing / reappearing as you browse. Strange but you could live with it.

    Signed up for the lifetime deal and all working fine on my PC but disappointing that the only option for Netflix is the US.

    I want to access Netflix Germany. Am I missing something or is that not possible?

    Can I do it if I set up their VPN on my router?

    Thanks, tried setting up the Getflix full VPN but Windows 10 is not supported due to some MS bug.

    And they only have instructions for DD-WRT router setup and I have Tomato USB firmware on my VPN router.

    Currently have 18 months of a 2 year subscription remaining with IPVanish but that is no good for Netflix.

    Not feeling like throwing more money at another VPN sub.

    The kid wanted to watch Mission Impossible 1 & 2 but they have all been removed in the US.

    Even though we have a good VPN I have discouraged him from pirating streams.

    Same issue with VPN unlimited most of these VPNs only seem to have Netflix US or Canada working but if you want say Germany or in my case Spain working you are out of luck.
