Netflix denies attempt to crackdown on VPN users from accessing its content. Users rejoice! You can still access Netflix using a VPN!

Netflix users around the globe can breathe a sigh of relief as it appears the Snowball effect has taken place, in that recent speculation that online streaming network Netflix has plans to crackdown on VPN users from using its service, are actually “false.”

Earlier this week some users reported difficulties in getting the Netflix for Android app to work over a VPN and Domain Name System (DNS) services which sent many Netflix users into a mad panic. Reports flooded the net with news that Netflix were cracking down on VPN users who reportedly use it to access the US version of Netflix. US Netflix offers a wider selection of movies and TV shows than what is available in the rest of the world, for example, the US version offers shows such as Twin Peaks, and Broad City but these are not accessible to UK Netflix customers.

However, since those initial reports, during a roundtable meeting at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Neil Hunt, chief product officer for Netflix stated that “On the Android app we added a failsafe, so that if DNS times out we fall back to Google DNS. It’s not intended to steer people away from VPN – it’s intended to make the application more robust when your own DNS provider is failing.” So, the app update was to improve stability, and not a means to block VPN users.

Hunt added that “the claims that we have changed our policy on VPN are false. People who are using a VPN to access our service from outside of the area will find that it still works exactly as it has always done.”

So, there you have it straight from the horses mouth, Netflix are NOT cracking down on VPN users.

Using a solid, reliable VPN service, like Hide My Ass! Pro VPN secures and protects your private and confidential information from getting into the wrong hands, while at home, at work, while travelling abroad and when accessing public Wi-Fi. And of course, a fast VPN service like HMA! is of paramount importance when streaming online content.

Did you know that you can download the HMA! Pro VPN app directly onto your iPhone, iPad, or iTouch from the Apple App Store? You can get the app from here, or you can visit the App Store and search for “HMA!”

Once you have an HMA! Pro VPN account, simply login with your account details, or you can register for a new account and pay directly from within the app.

Getting started
Apple does not allow us to create an app which controls your VPN connection fully – instead our app allows you to correctly setup the VPN settings. You will need to activate it yourself in the “Settings” tab on your device.

To use the app you will need an active HMA! Pro VPN account and an internet connection.

If you already have an HMA! Pro VPN account, just enter your username and password into the “Existing Member” fields, then tap “Login.” If you have forgotten your password, tap the “Forgot Password” button.

If you don’t have an account yet, you can register for one by entering a username, password and your email address into the “New Member” fields, and then tap “Register.”

Please note that you need to place an order for an HMA! Pro VPN account before you can start using the VPN. To do this, click on the arrow on the box marked “Status” which will allow you to place an order using your Apple ID.

Once you are logged in to your account within the app, you will see an overview of your account; this displays your username, the remaining days of your subscription and the type of subscription you have.

In the “VPN Profile” area, you need to select a VPN server location and a VPN protocol (L2TP is default). It’s a good idea to select a server located nearby to get the best speeds.

When both have been selected, tap on “Install Profile.” The app will now download your personal VPN profile for the location you selected and will show you a confirmation window. Here, you need to tap on the “Install” button and confirm the next pop-up by tapping on “Install Now”. The profile will be installed and you can close the window by tapping “Done.”

Note: The passcode that you need to provide (the four digit code) is your iPad/iPhone passcode with which you protect your data. (You’re asked for this code every time you wake or turn on your device before you can access it.)

You can connect to the VPN after having installed a VPN profile by opening the settings menu on your home screen. Tap on “General”, then on “VPN.”

You’re now in the VPN menu and can connect to the VPN by simply moving the slider at the top. The VPN connection will be established within a few seconds and will show you the status and connection duration. Your connection to the VPN server will be confirmed at all times by the small VPN icon displayed in the corner of your screen.

To disconnect from the VPN just simply tap the slider to “Off” as shown in the screenshot below.

If you want to use a different VPN server, just launch the HMA! Pro VPN app again and repeat the process. To change your account settings, billing management, server lists,
and for help and support, please login to your VPN control panel

You will find detailed instructions in our Frequently Asked Questions section on our Help Center if you need assistance with the following:

How can I improve speed or connection quality?

In this tutorial we show you how to set up your DD-WRT router using the PPTP protocol. Using PPTP, as well as L2TP (which we will cover next week), is a lot easier to setup than using OpenVPN, and is generally faster than using L2TP.

If you have any issues with speed, or experience connection problems, we recommend that you try using all 3 protocols (PPTP, L2TP, and OpenVPN.)

To set up your DD-WRT router using the PPTP protocol, you will need a router with the latest DD-WRT firmware installed. If you’re not sure if your router supports the DD-WRT firmware, then please check their router database or supported devices list. The firmware used in this tutorial is “v24-sp2 (08/07/10) std” with a D-LINK DIR 600.

NOTE: If you need any help, please read this article DD-WRT troubleshooting carefully and completely, as it covers most issues and solutions.

Right, so let’s begin. Here are the instructions for the DD-WRT firmware:

1. Navigate to the DD-WRT Control Panel (usually http://192.168.1.1/ – default username “root”, password “admin”)
2. Setup
3. Basic Setup
4. WAN Setup
5. Connection type: PPTP
6. Use DHCP: Yes
7. Gateway (PPTP Server): Enter any of the server IPs that you can find by logging into the VPN Control Panel and clicking on “Software & Help“. Then click on “View” next to “Manually set-up VPN – No software”
8. User Name: Your VPN account username
9. Password: Enter your PPTP password. Find this in the VPN Control Panel and click on “Software & Help“. Then click on “View” next to “Manually set-up VPN – No software”
10. Connection Strategy: Keep Alive: Redial Period – It’s your choice how many seconds you choose. We recommend a minimum of 30 seconds.
11. PPTP Encryption: Enable
12. Disable Packet Reordering: Enable
13. Additional PPTP Options: mppe required, stateless
14. STP: Disable
15. Leave everything else as it is
16. Save and Apply

It should look like this when finished:

PPTP setup with DHCP turned off

PPTP setup with DHCP turned on
