Anyone else using Hola Unblocker?

Chrome/Firefox extension.

If you stream from your computer, it masks your IP address, allowing you to watch Netflix (and other channels) from Canada, UK and other countries. Why? Some shows and seasons of shows, as well as some movies, aren't available in every country.

there are several which allow you to get past blocks
which is very handy

I like them for web pages which block content, such as BBC radio shows.

We did find a VPN service that is helping.

Thanks, though.

For Netflix (I'm in Canada) and my favourite use, BBC iplayer.

It's easy to disable if there's something on Canadian Netflix but not on the us version.
