    What's a while?
    Can you estimate how often it's working, and how often it's not?

    Eg if its not working for 50+% of the time then it's not really reliable, more hit and miss.

    Appreciate your opinion!

    It has been gone for a couple of months on occasion for me anyway. I would not call it reliable for US Netflix, but I only use the smart dns rather than the VPN so maybe that's better. I get my money's worth from it for Amazon Prime UK and BBC iplayer regardless though.

    Just signed up....will try and setup on Amazon fire tonight :)

    Let me know how u got on, I was trying to do it last night but had no luck, I cant even download the bbci player app to my phone because its geo blocked I assume. I have it on my tv tho and it works fine but cannot get it on my phone or firestick.

    bbc iplayer doesnt even appear on my search list on google phone on my phone

    No luck so far. It picked up region on app on phone when changed on amazon fire... But then didn't work.. I tried to change on router too... Anyone with Virgín media manage to find where to change DNS settings via administration console?

    I just got bbc iplayer on my firestick and it worked. I first downloaded aptoide to my phone. Then bbciplayer app to my phone, then I used the app called apps2fire to send the bbciplayer to my firestick. You will need to download the remote for firetv app on firestick this is a virtual mouse to use as to navigate the bbciplayer app.

    iplayer is available from the amazon appstore directly on fire tv and works perfectly with the firetv remote.

    Is P2P allowed in this VPN?

    Use this site to pull it directly from the play store and then side load it.

    absolute noob here on this subject, hopefully someone can shed some light.

    In the link below on the right side. it says DNS-Over-VPN Enable. Would it be correct to assume that it avoid the geoblock as well as hiding behind VPN server?

    https://www.getflix.com.au/setup/dns-servers

    Another follow up question (Possibly), so Ireland for example doesn't have DNS-Over-VPN Enable, would it be correct to assume that I could use other DNS that have it enabled instead of the Ireland one?

    They have confirmed with me via email that the amazon fire TV does not work with unlocking regions on Netflix.... I'm cancelling its only reason I was ordering

    I also cannot change DNS settings on modem apparently as it is a virgin media one...

    See email below
    As of 2018, getflix decided to support only pc or mac browsers for our 3rd party promo users due to Netflix's huge changes on their network
    We really did try our best to unblock Netflix with those server unfortunately after a few months our infrastructures are not able to and we decided to stop supporting other devices for the said channel
    Can anyone recommend a VPN that will actually work on an amazon fire TV?

    Bought it. Got the 10% off too.
    Have just configured DNS. Successfully watched a bit of a movie on BBC iPlayer ( Shaun the Sheep!). Haven't succeeded with US Netflix yet.

    Worth it for BBC iPlayer alone, in my opinion...

    Wider range of newer releases, I would think..

    No error messages.

    I set my region for Netflix to USA on getflix - as suggested by OmegaGene
