There are already plenty of services offering smart DNS solutions (Unotelly, unblockus), I think I will stay in my corner with my simple click-and-play desktop app :)

But yeah, your solution would definitely work, but would be impossible to understand/setup for the non-techy users.

Yes, that's the trade-off here basically. The experience of browsing/searching/selecting a movie to then switch DNS is quite paintful, but works on TV. Smartflix is one-click-play, but doesn't.

But you are definitely right when saying that most people watch Netflix on TV.

The helper app is there to update proxies for www.netflix.com requests while watching a movie. As soon as you stop playing the movie it removes that specific proxy rule. It is better and safer than the common "smart DNS" trick because it does not route nor intercept requests to other domains.

Also, I will remove this helper in the incoming version (found a better way).

I'm using https://github.com/mgp25/WhatsAPI-Official. Spam is the reason WhatsApp tries to take down these unofficial API, Whatsy is more of a bot and doesn't really bother anyone.

Hi, founder here. This is an early beta and if there is any Twitter aficionado around I would love some feedback and suggestions.

Cheers! Romain

You're welcome! Any feedback you want to share ? Do you like the idea of "everybody vote for tomorrow's everybody's artwork" ?
