I live in Canada but prefer watching American Netflix changing my D.N.S settings on my Playstation and P.C hasn't presented any issues but although changing the D.N.S on my X1 appeared pretty straight forward using a simple playstore app. it hasn't changed the fact that Netflix still sees my Location as Canada on my Zidoo device can anyone help?
You don't need an app to change your DNS settings. For WiFi go into Settings > Wi-Fi > Highlight your WiFi name and press and hold the OK button on the remote until a menu comes up. Select Modify Network and check the Show Advanced Options radio button manually enter your DNS settings there For Ethernet go into Settings > Ethernet and make a note of your Connection Info to see your current IP address Select Static IP Mode and enter your DNS settings there. In both the above I have also set a static IP address for my box within the same settings. If you are unsure how to do this google setting up a static ip on android. Goog luck.
I have changed my DNS and am using a static IP but Netflix still recognizes me as having a Canadian address a VPN app worked but it has a monthly charge Does anyone have any free solutions??
Ah didn't realize it was Netflix you are having problems with. The only way I've found works is to re-route the DNS requests via the router using iptables. You can read more on how here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2435579
