Overview

Getflix is an Australian-founded Smart DNS brand that is now operated by C Telekom, Inc., a Seychelles-registered company that also runs Smart DNS Proxy [4][5]. Reddit users explicitly call Getflix "SmartDNSProxy's sister service" [13]. The whole website blocks datacenter IPs behind an Imperva wall (HTTP 403 plus challenge) [9], so our operator facts come from dated archived captures - with the live support knowledge base reachable as of our check [10]. The service is still actively selling, with current pricing pages archived in September 2026 [1].

Coverage & Unblocking

The operator's channels overview lists 166 service cards [8], while its marketing claims "over 500 global channels" [5] - the gap comes from VPN-wide framing; neither number matches the old database value of 251. The critical caveat is reliability: US unblocking has been failing for extended stretches. vpnMentor user reports state that US Netflix has not worked since September 2024 [12] and that Amazon Prime US "has also failed" [12]. In February and March 2026, users reported HBO and Paramount+ not working [12]; in September 2026, a Getflix subscriber reported USA services down again [13]. UK services kept working: a user in December 2025 could access BBC iPlayer, ITVx, Channel 4 and Channel 5 [14]. Hulu, Disney+ and the sports lineup (ESPN, Kayo, beIN) are listed by the operator [8] but lack recent independent confirmation - treat them as unverified. Unblocking is cat-and-mouse by design, and every service still requires its own paid subscription [5].

Devices & Setup

Setup follows the standard Smart DNS pattern, and the operator runs a global network of DNS servers, telling users to "use the DNS server closest to your physical location for best performance" [7] - the list spans Australia, Brazil, Japan, Turkey and the United States [7]. You can set up devices directly or your router. vpnMentor documents native apps for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android for the bundled VPN [11]. One thing we could not verify: whether a dynamic DNS feature exists - the old database claimed it, the current operator pages do not mention it.

Speed & Reliability

Smart DNS itself adds no encryption overhead; streams run at full line speed because only the DNS lookups for geo-checks are rerouted [8]. Reliability, again, is the issue: the US service outages documented above recur across 2025 and 2026 [6][7], and lifetime-plan buyers report the same US failures [6]. Our daily check tracks the website only - and the operator's KB is live even as the main site blocks our checker [10].

Privacy & Logging

The operator states "There are NO LOGS kept in the network" for the bundled VPN [6] - an unaudited claim. The registered operator is C Telekom, Inc. of Victoria, Seychelles, with Digiport OU also named [5]; payments bill as "C Telekom, Inc." [4]. Seychelles sits outside the 5/9/14-Eyes alliances [11]. As always with Smart DNS: your traffic is not encrypted and your IP is not hidden - the bundled VPN is what covers that, if you turn it on [6].

Pricing & Plans

Current documented pricing: $5.95 per month, $44.98 per year, $62.83 per two years, or $149 lifetime [1]. The price history matters here: in October 2024 the plans were $4.95/$39.90 [3], and before that $4.90/$34.90 - a pattern of steady increases. The free trial shrank from 14 days (October 2024 [3]) to 3 days (2025+ [1]). There is no money-back guarantee: the pricing FAQ says you can cancel anytime "however, there are no refunds given for any unused time remaining on your subscription" [2]. The Full VPN is included with all paid accounts [6].

Reputation & History

The footer copyright claims 2012 as the brand's start [5]; a concrete founding year is not verifiable - the auDA registry record exposes no registration date [15]. vpnMentor scores the service 6.3 out of 10 and places it 58th of 195 VPNs [11]. The persistent US-service complaints across 2025 and 2026 [6][7] are the most substantive negative signal [13][12], and they matter more for a Smart DNS service than any score.

Verdict

Getflix is cheap, includes a VPN, and reportedly still works well for UK services [14]. For US targets - Netflix US above all - the track record since late 2024 is poor [12][13]. If your services are UK-side, the price is fair; otherwise use the 3-day trial on day one and lean on the fact that there is no refund window if it stops working later [2].
