    The two popular smart dns' (Getflix & smartdnsproxy)offer 14 day trials, if anyone needs iPlayer in the meantime

    Tried two different email addresses but the getflix trial email hasn't arrived one hour later.

    Buffering like hell on Firestick. Unusable at the moment


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,916 ✭✭✭Marhay70


    I had to reset my firestick recently but the VPN doesn't give me a choice to sign back in only to sign up, contacted Keep Solid through their support channel but still waiting for a reply five days later, even though they promise to reply within an hour. Anybody else had this problem and how was it solved, if it was?

    Same here regarding firestick. There is actually an option to sign in but it's hard to see. Top right corner

    I had to do the same and then it said my 5 slots were already used up. Got in touch with keepsolid and they were back to me later that day and very fast to sort anything out. I have found their customer support great.

    Now iplayer itself won't launch on Firestick just goes to black screen with a little white square of anyone knows what to do?

    I was having this problem but on the shield.
    Removing updated version of the app and replacing with the factory version did the trick.

    Iplayer app I mean not keepsolid

    I have two firesticks running, one had the problem you mention so I applied the fix and the other was firing up as normal. Now both fire up and go through all the normal procedures to sign me in but neither will play content.
    It seems to be IPlayer only as ITV and MY 5 work fine.

    Mine was working last night after resetting and turning off auto-update but BBC do seem to be cracking down.
    I will check it again tonight when I get home.
    After a few years of never a bother it's getting tougher of late

    BBC and Netflix have always been the most difficult to watch with a vpn, if you want an easy option for both then get a smart dns

    I have a VPN with smart dns

    Is it as simple as reconnecting to your wifi and use the smart dns?

    Would this do away with the need for the VPN to be connected for IPTV etc?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,306 ✭✭✭el Fenomeno


    What VPN is recommended to cover 3 devices (Firestick, Android Phone and Windows Computer) where speed and reliability is the main concern, price being a secondary concern only?

    In particular the Firestick, used for streaming via catch up apps, Netflix and IPTV.

    Just my paranoia but I prefer a vpn (tinfoil hat too!).
    Netflix and Hulu work fine with ipv6 off anyway

    my smart dns is set up with an irish and uk address and works at device or router level, vpn for iptv is a different thing but best not to go into that on the thread

    So go with the smart dns on my mesh router and keep VPN on for other activities ;)

    american netflix library ?

    Yes it's fine as long as you keep ipv6 disabled
