I did a check and unblock-us displayed a message that said
Unfortunately our service is not compatible with your provider at this time.
And in more detail
Unfortunately some providers are using transparent proxy servers, which can break connection to our system OR forwarding all users DNS requests to their own servers aka "DNS hijacking" (see below).
“Black List” of providers with proxy servers:
- Vodafone - New Zealand: You MUST have static IP to use our system with Vodafone. They don't forward users with static IP through their transparent proxy.
- TelstraClear - New Zealand
That might explain it except Hulu still works and Netflix and Hulu work fine on my Nexus One, Xoom tablet and other portable devices that all use the same router with their DNS addresses?
One of their solutions is
Most likely you won't be able to connect to our system if your provider is using transparent proxy. DNS hijacking problem can be solved if you have router with DD-WRT firmware or can start local DNS server (most Mac's have one).
I guess I could try starting a local DNS service but since I don't really watch Netflix on my PC's it is hardly worth the effort if the portable devices work fine.
Just wondering if anybody else had had this problem?
Thanks
