    How much bandwidth, on average, does 1 Netflix Movie cost to stream?
    I have too much idle VPSes. If theres a demand, I will more be happy to set one up for LET users.. If its not to hard to do.

    Thats the topic of this thread :)

    Oh lol. I was confused.

    I bought a ipxcore vps and I watched 2 full episoded of 24 (so 48 hours of movie) and used about 60GB

  • mikhomikho Member, Host Rep

    Bandwidth used via netflix depends on speed and on what mediaplayer used.
    I can watch 2 seasons of 24 on my computer or 2 seasons on my iphone ... the bandwidth would differ

  • How is 24 as a show? I'm considering watching it but the pilot seemed kind of boring.

  • @Mikho As far as I know Netflix got 2 options. Normally and HD. I think your iPhone is normal and your pc is HD. I was watching HD if it wad available.

    @Magiobiwan I liked it allot, else I wouldn't have watched 2 episodes.

    Great @Centaur.

    A nice caveat of CDNs :)

  • FreekFreek Member

    I found a commercial service offering a DNS tunnel:

  • Jip and there is also unotelly: www.unotelly.com/

    But, it's more interesting to make your own. :-) So I am wondering if someone achieved it, by letting netflix go via https or letting netflix only connect via ipv6 in the dns.

  • FreekFreek Member

    Yeah I would love to setup one myself as well!!

    The best VPN experience I had in a very long time [Spam URL removed. S.] . I managed to watch Netflix and Hulu directly with just one click application. It is not easy to find a real good VPN provider.

    Here is how you can do it with bind, SNI Proxy and a cheap VPS:
    http://blog.belodedenko.me/2014/02/diy-clone-of-netflix-tunlr-vps.html

    The example I wrote up is for netflix.com, but you can use it for anything else (e.g. Pandora, Crackle, etc.)

    Hope you find this useful.

    Thanks man, Is it possible that you make a full tutorial about installing this proxy

  • @Centaur said:
    Well, I found this: http://corporate-gadfly.github.com/Tunlr-Clone/ so all that remains is getting the https working for netflix, which is the tricky part it seems.

    Anyone know how to set this up without an internal IP on Venet0:X?

    It works on my buyvm VPS with the 172.* IP on Venet0:8, but I can't get it to work on my Catalyst Host vps that doesn't have that. I tried using 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.2 to no avail.

    Try disabling iptables, see if it works.

    Great tutorial, but problem with https remains :-(
    Could this be possible:
    Patch dnsmasq that it executes "ip route add 1.2.3.4/32 dev tun0" when a dns response of e.g. netflix.com is coming through?
    tun0 is my tunnel to US and is nated there.

  • rskrsk Member, Patron Provider

    https works fine when i implemented this @agentsmith

  • Yes, HTTPS works fine indeed. See the PoC in the latest blog post on the linked site and try it out yourself.

    Going to set this up on a test VPS and see what I can come up with for you. Actually I don't have a tomato based router, so I won't be able to fall this 100%? Did you ever have any success?

    Well I haven't had time to try @rsk's suggestion but I don't really see how disabling IPtables would work, seeing as Iptables is what is passing the information from bind9 to sniproxy.

    I didn't use a tomato based router for this either. The only purpose of one would be to only send specific queries to the server and resolve everything else through another DNS server, but bind9 should have forwarders setup to be able to resolve any domain anyways.

    Edit: I got it to work a few weeks ago by replacing the 172.* IP with the second IP on my VPS from the IP migration, but quickly took it down when realized sniproxy was unsecured and that I will not have 2 IP's in the future.

    On a related note, I'm now having problems just installing sniproxy so I can't try anything until I figure that out.

    When you get the sniproxy stuff worked out I added a internal IP for you to try.

    I had an old working version installed so I just used that and IT WORKS! Thank you so much!

  • ryanarpryanarp Member, Patron Provider

    No problem, never hurts to ask, we are generally pretty good about taking special requests. :)

  • SNIproxy tends to be unstable, it has to be restarted after some time.

    I am really interested in the HAproxy solution, but as far as I understood it, it's only good if you have got quite a lot of IPs...

    Did anyone manage to make it work the same way as SNIproxy (with only one IP used)?

  • Have a look at the poor man's haproxy.conf in the github repo link I posted. It's exactly what you're looking for.

  • Hi All, I'm new to this, but this is by far the most informative thread I've come across. Partially technical, and partially layman's terms. I'm learning how to setup DNS server, only because the current Netflix DNS entries are no longer working. I will play with Tunlr, and learn more. Thank you all for this learning experience.

  • Are you sure about the Netflix entries?
