[Brainstorm]Override/spoof Netflix region auth

**ps2000** · 12-17-2010,07:52 AM

So I put the latest hex into my teensy clone and Netflix tells me that this app is not for my region when X is pressed.

This is what I know: On my PC I use a US based vpn to browse and select movies to play (stream). Firstly on playback it checks somethings like region/ip whatever and device authentication etc. Then after the movie starts I can pause and disconnect the vpn and my movie will continue to play until the end : )

I wonder if its possible to spoof a US ip address to the Netflix app. I'm not even sure how this verification gets done.

You can use Netflix on 3.41? Are you on a phat or a slim?

Normally when ur in jailbreak mode psn access isn't there because it always asks to upgrade firmware/system update. There was a brief window of time (end of Nov) when users were able to access psn with the 3.50 noauth hex. That's when I installed netflix.
Then the app wouldnt even start because I'm in the wrong 'region'. I will post some finding after connecting PS3 via usa vpn.

edit: i'm on slim

The Netflix app is for North America only, so unless you still have one of those Netflix discs you are out of luck on your PAL PS3.
