Configure DNS
Afer you have signed up for Getflix, you must update your DNS settings. You have two options:
- Update the DNS settings for your entire network by changing the DNS settings on your router/modem. This option ensures that any device connected to your network will be able to access unblocked services.
- Update the DNS settings on any individual device you wish to use to unblock services. This option means that unblocked services can only be accessed using these devices.
Option 1 should be used if you know how to configure DNS settings on your router. Setup guides for various routers can be found here. The remainder of this section describes how to change DNS settings on individual devices.
Select the device from the menu on this page for instructions on how to configure DNS settings as well as setup Netflix and Hulu Plus.
Configure DNS-over-VPN
Getflix DNS-over-VPN provides an alternative way of connecting to our DNS servers using a VPN. This allows you to use our DNS servers in situations where it wouldn’t normally be possible such as hotel rooms, public WiFi, 3G/4G connections and ISPs that block/hijack 3rd party DNS servers.
For more information about Getflix DNS-over-VPN and how to set it up, check out this article on our support site.
Configure DNS
The DNS settings listed on the Overview page can be input directly into your router, for your entire network. You won’t need to change the DNS settings on your PC if you have already done so on your router.

Download Streaming Apps
Many international streaming apps (e.g. Hulu) are only available on the US iTunes store, so to get access to these apps you will need to create a US Apple ID. Once created and once the apps are downloaded and installed, you can switch back to your primary iTunes account, so the US iTunes account is just a temporary one so the apps can be downloaded.

Open iTunes on your computer, click “iTunes Store” then click on your account email and select “Sign Out” from the menu.
2. Change to the US Store
Scroll to the bottom right-hand corner of iTunes and click on the flag icon.

4. Create a New Apple ID
Click the “Create Apple ID” button and follow the prompts until you get to the “Apple ID Details” screen. Here, you will need to use a different email address to the one you are using for your regular Apple ID. Continue through to the payment screen.
On the payment screen select “None”, then enter a US billing address (any address will do) and click “Create Apple ID”. A verification email will be sent to your nominated email address and you will have to click on the link in it to activate your new account.
Once your new US iTunes account has been created, go to your iPad or iPhone, logout of your iTunes account and login to your new US iTunes account. Download the Netflix and Hulu Plus apps (and any other US apps) from the App Store.
When you have finished downloading apps, switch back to your regular iTunes account. Netflix and other apps downloaded with your US iTunes account will continue to work even when you’re logged in with your regular account.

3. Restart
After changing the DNS settings, go back to “General”, scroll down to the bottom and choose “Restart”.
Access the Streaming Apps
Apple TV (Gen 4)
You need to create a free iTunes account for each country you wish to download apps for (e.g. a US iTunes account is required to download US-only apps, a UK iTunes account is required to download UK-only apps). This is the same as how other iOS devices (e.g. iPhone, iPad) work, instructions for creating free iTunes accounts can be found on our iOS setup page.
Apple TV (Gen 2 and 3)
If you would like to have US apps (like Netflix and Hulu), change your iTunes Store location by navigating to “Settings” and scrolling down to “iTunes Store” and selecting your location as “United States” (you don’t need a US iTunes account, you just need to select the US as your location). Restart your Apple TV again and once it has rebooted, the streaming apps will be shown on the main screen.
Configure DNS
Access the Streaming Apps
1. Check Your PC is Setup Correctly
In order to double check that the PC is configured correctly, open a Command Prompt or Terminal window and run “ping my.roku.com”. It should receive ping responses from “198.55.97.110”, if not, then your Roku Owner account will not be setup correctly. If our DNS test is passing but you’re not getting the correct ping response then you may need to flush your DNS cache.
2. Unlink Your Existing Roku and Deactivate Your Account
Only complete this step if you have an existing non-US Roku Owner account. Go to my.roku.com, login to your exsting account and unlink your Roku device. Once unlinked, you must also deactivate (close) this account using the “Deactivate Account” link.
3. Factory Reset Your Roku
Perform a Factory Reset using one of the methods below:
Method 1—On your Roku, from the Home screen, go to Settings, Factory Reset and follow the prompts.
Method 2—Using a paper clip, press and hold the “Reset” button on the back of the Roku for at least 20 seconds or until you see the Roku welcome screen on your TV.
Once complete, DO NOT configure the Roku just yet, in particular DO NOT configure networking or setup WiFi until Step 5.
4. Create a New US Roku Owner Account
Go to my.roku.com and create a new Roku Owner account (using an email address you have never used with Roku before).
When entering payment details, only use a credit card.
Make sure you use a US address when filling in the details, in particular, you need to enter a valid US ZIP code. It’s best to construct a valid 5 digit ZIP code from your own post code – simply add a “0” (zero) to the end of your post code (or add a “1” to the front), and then check this website to see if it corresponds to a valid US ZIP code. If it doesn’t, then try a different number at the end (or the front) until you get one that does. If none works, then use the time-tested “90210” (but it’s usually better if it’s based on your real post code).
4. Setup Your Roku Device
Follow the on-screen instructions to setup your Roku. Make sure you connect your Roku to the network that has our DNS settings configured. When asked, select you region as “United States”. When you get to the activation screen, go to my.roku.com/link to enter the link code displayed on your TV screen.
