I was surprised to not see this in the forum, as it's very simple and works. It is a very short script added to the Custom Configuration which pulls the current IP addresses for a domain name (Netflix.com, Hulu.com) and routes those addresses "around" the VPN.
So far I've been using this for a day, and had to restart things one time to get it to pick up new addresses. I would like to find a way to run this at regular intervals to add to the IP list (without duplicating addresses already in the list).
Well just took a day for that to stop working. Netflix IPs change FAST. I just ran nslookup for netflix.com... the addresses change every time I run the command. Even after five seconds, there several new IPs. I guess it really is difficult to bypass openVPN for a domain name like that.
That said, there are only so many IP addresses that Netflix can use. It seems like there could be a script that checks the addresses every few seconds and re-builds a local list. Eventually the list would be 99% accurate, and refreshes to the script would make it complete.
I keep on plugging away at figuring out a solution. For those interested in pursuing this, there is a complete list of Netflix IP ranges. I suppose it's possible to script all those into the router and use the basic route command to get them all to avoid the VPN.
At this point though, I'm probably going to try using the airvpn software to create a new network connection, then ForceBindIP to force a certain application to use the regular (non-VPN) network connection. Then I'll use Internet Explorer (or whatever) for Netflix, Hulu, and any other non-sensitive traffic, and the rest of my connections will go through the VPN.
The description there is for browsing using the VPN when you use the VPN only for selected things (torrents and browsing/ripping geo-restricted sites). But you could put your non-VPN interface and DNS server addresses into the config file instead.
using ForceBindIP to use a dedicated browser to use your home IP is exactly what I am missing with AIrVPN so far. I had been able to do so while using another VPN but cannot get it to work with network lock enabled, even when new rules are added to the firewall after activation of network lock has been enabled. The funny thing is, the bypass via ForceBindIP is possible when using wifi, but not with a wired connection. I am in Win10, by the way. Any chance you got ForceBindIP working with network lock on and on a wired connection to your router?
Firs of all I wanna thank all Viscosity developers for a wonderful soft they created.
And now let's get to buziness =)
I need to visit some domains thru my local provider, but not thru openvpn connection, which is constantly established here. I know about ip-based route exceptions, however the problem is that most of that websites use a numerous number of ip addresses and it's almost impossible to add all of them.
Is there any way of routing domains, but not ip addresses in the way I need? Maybe some 3rd-party software, if Viscosity can't make it?
An OS's routing table uses IP addresses, so no, domains won't work. You're also not the only one wanting this, I fear there's no other way. Even adding all IP ranges sometimes doesn't yield the desired effects, especially with Netflix.
I sat on tech support with netflix and bitched about not being able to use my vpn and demanding a real answer. They are very cagey with information and would loop around the same question "why do you use a vpn" over and over again thinking they could wear me down. I even asked them why they could not lock my account to my billing address since Ive had netflix for years it is clearly me, and not some guy in another country wanting to watch shows in mine. Never the less it didn't yield much for a laughable answer that I should talk to my ISP and have them host my VPN using the IP addy that was originally assigned to me as closely geographically tied to my physical address as possible(he gave no ranges, I assume the radius is centered around my ISP). I have looked for local proxies around my house but there really arent any to see if that might work.
My solution was to just use a switch and a roku box. I tried this before when roku first came out and it was terrible, but the 4k one is quite nice. Granted, this wont help someone whose primary screen is a laptop but it suits my needs. A chromecast also works and could be used to 'cast' the video feed to your screen of choice but using a phone as a remote was annoying.
I share a Netflix account with my parents and my sister (they get my Hulu login, though, so I think we're square). For the past couple of months, I'd noticed movies showing up under Recently Watched that I know none of us would touch with a ten foot pole. Stupidly, I dismissed this as a hiccup on Netflix's part, until I found out the awful truth: we'd been hacked.
It's shameful that someone who writes about tech for a living would just let such suspicious activity slide without further investigation, but it wasn't until I saw this Tech Insider headline that I wondered if the weirdness was more sinister than just a glitch. Motherboard's hacking and information security reporter Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai pointed me in the direction of the website haveibeenpwned.com, where I entered my parents' email address. Lo and behold, we'd been pwned to the max, our login info dumped in a plaintext document titled "BunchaNetflixAccounts," along with the info from some 2400 other users. The document was posted on Pastebin, a site that temporarily stores chunks of plaintext and is primarily used by people sharing code.
The site notes that pastebins are usually only up for a few days, but I knew this had been going on for way longer than just this month. So I went to Netflix's site and checked the viewing activity for my profile, and sure enough there was stuff on there going back months. Curse of Chucky. The Passion of the Christ. One login thief seems to be really into drug trafficking, watching both the new Netflix original series Narcos and El Seor de los Cielos, a telenovela about a drug lord.
The breadth of the stuff watched strongly indicates a number of different people using our account. It's hard to believe the same person would be interested in watching Money for Nothing: Inside the Federal Reserve, Anchorman 2, and half a season of The L Word all in the same week. (If such a person indeed exists, I'd like to have a drink with them.)
Once someone gets inside your Netflix account, there's not a ton they can do aside from binge watch some Family Guy, because your credit card info is obscured by the site. The real danger lies in if you use your Netflix password for a bunch of other stuff too. In that case, anyone enterprising enough could do some real damage.
So if you think you've been hacked, here's what to do. Go to haveibeenpwned.com and find out if your data is out there. Change your Netflix password, and if any other accounts share that password you should change those, too. Franceschi-Bicchierai recommends using a password manager like LastPass or 1Password.
I don't think my family's Netflix hack has created any other issues, but we'll be taking better precautions from now on. Though I hate to begrudge people access to Curse of Chucky, they'll have to find some other way to watch it.
Hi,Since yesterday (August 19, 2016) Netflix stop working and I get a message at the top of the page saying "Firefox is installing components needed to play audio or video, please try again later". I just called Netflix support and they say that recently they stop using Silverlight and moved to HTML5, they advised me to update Firefox to the latest version, I was running on 47.0.1 but now after installing the update I'm running on 48.0.1 but still get the same error message. I can watch Netflix with Internet Explorer but not with Firefox anymore! For years was working fine I am wondering what's going on, can you help?
If you already have Firefox set to update automatically, then the problem could be that your security software is intercepting the HTTPS request to download the needed components from Mozilla's servers, as reported in this bug report:
What security software are you using? You can try to disable the interception of secure connections in your security software settings, as explained in the "Antivirus products" section this article:How to troubleshoot security error codes on secure websites
If a refresh doesn't help, it could be a temporary server issue, which has happened in the past. See Bug 1267495 - Add fallback for GMP downloads if AUS is down (reported 2016-04-25)(Quote) Recently the GMP AUS server went down, and new Firefox installs weren't able to play Netflix or use GMPs. We'd like to harden ourselves against this failure being an issue in future.
well whatever the issue it also wont let amazon videos play either because when i checked with netflix they told me to check that site so i hope it gets fixed or i will have to start using a different browser
