technology used by unblock-us.com and any open source package available to create my own?
I was under the impression that they are using OpenVPN set up but it seems they are actually using something less by just changing the nameserver in local PC:

However as far as I know, simply setting up a recursive NS based in US won't actually help to identify the device as from US? Is that correct?
For those who don't know what Unblock-Us is, it is basically something that enables you to watch US Netflix with a non-US IP/location.
So what is the technology used and is there any open source package I can use to set up one for my personal use? I don't really like OpenVPN since I have devices on platforms that are not OpenVPN-ready yet and I am too lazy to connect and disconnect my OpenVPN all the time.

There was a thread on this forum linked to cloning the now-closed Tunlr
"If you're tech-savvy, you can create your own version of Tunlr. Here are some great starting points:

I would prefer a hosted-by-myself version, but thanks though.
Exactly what I am looking for...except:
I actually want it to work on some of these stuff
Why bother, that's more expensive than the usual $3-5/month for a subscription since you need quite a few IP addresses for the non-SNI devices.
no way to get around that? why it would need multiple IPs? What if I just use it to connect a single device and that is only used when I am browsing netflix?
You've already quoted the reason why it won't work with a single IP.
Let me rephrase...why does non-SNI requires individual IPs?
