It's all there a few posts back!

Scratch that, just saw this Tunlr Has Left The Building...

Oh well, it was good while it lasted...

Blimey. Was it something I said!??

who wrote the plugin?

Tunnelbear is another free option and allows a 1gb per month for free.

Almost certaintly

From the holding page:

"With the introduction of Gatekeeper 2, 30,000 accounts were opened in the first two months of this year"

I wonder how many of these were Enigma2 users???



There's a multitude of paid DNS unblocking services, lots of talk about it in the Al Jazeera thread. I'm not sure if the OnDemand plugin will need re-writing, as I believe there's some tunlr-friendly code built into it.

Found an alternative option similiar to tunlr - search for 'unlocator'
It's currently free, but beta, need to sign up and register your wan ip addresss - not sure how long it will last!
You can use the dns addresses on a number of devices - tested mine on a pc with franc2. Also seems to allow you to change your Netfix location.
To get it working with OnDemand plugin, you need to change 'resolver' address in CommonModules.pyo file in OnDemand plugin directory.
I just happened to have this file on my pc (because I changed it before to fix something). Unfortunately I am running a very old version of v*x on my et9x00, so probably not a good idea to post my file here.
Anyone who knows what they are doing should be able to edit the address in the pyo file using Notepad++ (new address has the same number of characters as old).

EDIT: see next few posts for easier solution
Both dns services listed currently free

No need to edit the plugin. Just sign up for a DNS service such as SmartDNSProxy.com them add the DNS to your network setting on your Vu. Just tried it and BBC iPlayer worked fine.

Can you explain how to do that on VIX please?

Nearly sure I tried that before changing my plugin - will reverse it any try again (might not have restarted my network connection after making the change:rolleyes:).

Anyway, simple solution for everyone else.

I signed up to SmartDNS Proxy and did the following but it did not work. What did I do wrong please:

Menu
Setup
System
Network
Device setup
Name server settings
Press yellow button to Add
Typed in the IP addy. that SmartDNSProxy gave me 188.141.xx.xxx

Thanks

Just checked the smartdns site and are the proxy address not?
First DNS : 23.x.x.x
Second DNS : 54.x.x.x
That 188.x.x.x address you typed in might be your isp wan ip address!
Change the dns addresses to those, save them and do a restart network.

Is it these numbers that you are using:

Primary DNS : 23.21.43.50
Secondary DNS : 54.229.171.243

Taken from this page:

http://support.smartdnsproxy.com/customer/portal/articles/1347990-tp-link-router-setup-for-smart-dns-proxy

Yes.
Apologies for not posting the actual addresses or links etc, as I thought the mods here on boards 'frowned' on discussing how to bypass access restrictions:cool:

It is not illegal is it. Anyway Mod if it is not allowed I apologies and please delete.

When I typed those numbers into the box and saved and then restarted network, those numbers were erased and the box went back to the original numbers that were there

mine is back working with smart dns

Iba. In your case it would be better to set the DNS on the router itself.

Anyone have any experience with dreamdroid?

I used to be able to stream/open videos from my android phone using the app dreamdroid, to my vu+ duo running vix image, I still get the option "watch on dreambox" and when I select this option it give the message "sent as sent from dreamdroid on 04/03/2014" but nothing happens, whereas before the stream would play on the tv,

anyone have any idea whats wrong?

I can still stream live tv via dreamdroid (I use VPlayer to show the video), but when I try to watch recorded movie files now I just get a blank black message-bar and no video. I've been over & over the settings. I completely removed dreamdroid and reinstalled. The settings are the same but it no longer streams recorded videos.
...I can view them via webif on my pc without changing anything on the Duo, but not on dreamdroid.

I have the opposite issue I used to be able to stream from my phone to the duo, don't seem to have any issues streaming live tv or recordings from the box to my phone, im using vplayer too. strange
