pwede naman. just install the Set Orientation app first via playstore on you browser. So it will be remotely installed on your mibox.
then just run the app and set it to landscape. Then relaunch opera vpn.

Subscribed!  Thanks @shoestrings.  So is it recommended to store the DNS servers in the main router?  Parang overkill kasi.  Was thinking of adding them into the individual streaming devices lang.

yup you can enter the DNS servers individually sa devices.  pero para masulit mo mas okay sa router talaga.. :)

ok just want to share what i did with getflix free trial first.

i have a router that has 2.4ghz and 5ghz so 2 different SSID (actually it doesnt matter nga if re frequency basta you can do multiple SSID).

SSID1 - DHCP
SSID2 - static IP / Getflix DNS

confirmed working. my netflix on phone doesn't have "Ragnarok" and on the device meron. humanap lang ako meron sa US and wala sa PH

eto lang napansin ko... parang yun quality grainy... i have yet to put a speed test app on it

This is brilliant.  Unfortunately, the 3rd party firmware I use (Merlin/XVortex) does not support Guest SSID with VLAN tagging from the GUI.  There's a manual script needed to be run in Command Line Interface.  Medyo kabado pa ako to do it.

Where are you setting this?  Does your router support multi SSID with stock firmware?  Or are you using DD-WRT or Shibby Tomato?

Can I get netflix US with just the DNS of Getflix or do I still need VPN?


I changed the DNS of my router to the DNS of Getflix. What I've observed is that in Wifi I passed the DNS test but using my PC connected to LAN it failed the test. Anyone observed this?

Can I get netflix US with just the DNS of Getflix or do I still need VPN? -- if you get getflix, may kasama na daw vpn. pero you dont need to activate both. besides, netflix will not work with VPN so DNS lang talaga gagawin mo

-- check your IP, and if DNS passthrough/forwarder something like that.

so far on my end yung desktops ko naka LAN and wifi  sa router ko running tomato(toastman) wala naman issue, DNS passed lahat.
check mo nalang yung ethernet adapter settings mo. Minsan kasi nakakalimutan ko na naka set pala sa google DNS  yung ethernet ko.

If you don't have an account can you still access and use the DNS servers of Getflix?  In my understanding you just need to get the DNS server numbers to input in your device or router and you're good to go right?

No doc Mel, you need to be registered, kahit trial.  They will check your IP if it's registered with them.  If not, then traffic will be blocked.

Oh I see. Kasi I tried to log out tapos kaya ko parin access ang list of DNS servers nila. Just got the lifetime registration. I thought I've been had.

Grabe, napuyat ako binge watching One Tree Hill!

Btw, Getflix doesn't work on my Apple TV 4th Gen.  So, if your primary device for watching Netflix is Apple TV, take caution before you get Getflix.

Interested in obtaining a Getflix lifetime subscription. My question is: I have two Android TV boxes (Mi box, which I just recently purchased and Nvidia Shield 2015 ed.), would my subscription be applicable or used by these 2 units or only 1 unit? If it is to be installed in my router (Asus RT18u with Tomato firmware), does that mean that all my devices aside from my TV boxes could use the Getflix? sorry for my noob queries.....

^ Getflix subscription can be used on both devices.  If in router, all connected devices can use it (as long as they don't have DNS setup locally).

Paano pinapagana sa Pluto TV yung Getflix?  Ayaw sa akin mag work.  Sa Mi Box 3 ko ni-setup yung DNS servers.
