Earbanean: This all sounds pretty good. A couple of questions from a much less techie punter.
I currently use Unblock US, but only use their DNS settings on my Apple TV and Blu-ray player. I've left the DNS settings on my router and PCs on auto, so that my local browsing etc doesn't go through Unblock US, but uses my ISP (Vodafone). This all works well for Netflix etc, but occasionally I want the geo unblocking on the PC as well e.g. to go to Netflix account settings.
Earbanean: If I understand dns4me correctly, I could just change the DNS settings on my Router and leave everything else on auto. It would then route the requests requiring geo unblocking to their server in the appropriate country. All other requests would just be resolved locally. Is that pretty much how it works? If so, how would the speed of the local browsing (Trademe, stuff etc) compare with just using my ISP's DNS server as I currently do?
Earbanean: Adding custom URLs for additional unblocking also sounds attractive for me, as I'd quite like to get round the newish blocking on hdtracks.com. In this case, would it just be as simple as adding the URL for hdtracks in my custom list and then it should see me as a US based users?
albi90: Yes any custom domain overrides you add will show in the hosts file generator, you just need to make sure you update your hosts file after making any changes or use the raw api URL and have your router pull it down after restarting.

albi90: Jump in works, it under 9 down near the bottom of the services. It conflicts with a few other services, if you look in the services section of the user console any service highlighted in yellow conflicts with another, you can identify which services it conflicts with by mousing over the service logo.
Thanks

albi90: 9 may have made some changes, what device are you using?
