any geeks about? I've done something weird with my dns codes!

[sillymillyb]

I posted this in chat then remembered there was this section, any help would be very gratefully received: :)

I was trying to be naughty and get the US netflix site. I have no idea what I was doing as I'm rubbish with technology, so was following step by step instructions from a stupid friend.

I have now changed my DNS code several times and when ever I try and access netflix I get a site redirection to playmo.tv.

What on earth have I done?! How do I get rid of it? What is it?! Have I broken the internet forever???!!

I'm sorry for trying to be naughty, I really promise that this has put the shitters up me taught me a lesson.

Help anyone?!

What do you mean by "my DNS code"? Do you mean the address of the DNS servers you're using?

If you just delete the new codes it will automatically revert to the old ones.

What device?

Oops sorry, I just came back on line - it was on my pc, I have tried deleting the dns code (yes the address of the dns server) but it is still linking to the playmo site.

Thank you all for your help, sorry I missed out so much info. I have no idea what I am doing or really what I did!

Have you tried deleting the codes, leaving it blank then restarting the PC. This should work.

oooh there was some restarting going on, but not after deleting codes I don't think (I lost track) Will try that now, thank you so much. I will hopefully be reporting back asap with a fixed computer!

You don't need all the guilt - it's fine to change your DNS if you want to! I watch US Netflix all the time!

You have probably clicked or unclicked a box somewhere to stop your PC obtaining DNS/IP addresses automatically, and that's why it's not going back to your original one, I'm on a tablet so can't talk you through it.

And try tunlr

It worked, wooohoooo!!! THANK YOU!!!!

brian I totally shit myself as I read a warning saying netflix would ban you and stuff, then when it was denying me access I was convinced I'd been blacklisted and broken something vital.

Anyway, tunlr you say.... I shall go have a look see now, thank you :D

Happy to oblige. I'm not at all techy however I do have some experience with DNS settings and American netflix
You can also use unblock us or blockless but they cost around £3 a month to use.
