ProxFlix is yet another smart DNS solution to bypass geo-blocking

About

ProxFlix is yet another smart DNS solution to bypass geo-blocking.

Dependencies

• Docker
• systemd
• BASH v4

Install from DockerHub

docker pull oblique/proxflix
docker run -v /usr/local/bin:/install oblique/proxflix instl

Install from GitHub

git clone https://github.com/oblique/proxflix
cd proxflix
docker build -t oblique/proxflix .
ln -snf $PWD/proxflix /usr/local/bin/proxflix

Usage

ProxFlix needs to be installed on a server to the region you are interested. After you start it, change the DNS of your TV to the IP of your server.

Start ProxFlix and enable it on boot

proxflix start
proxflix enable

Check if it's running

proxflix status

Allow an IP to use your smart DNS

proxflix add-ip 1.2.3.4

Remove an IP

proxflix rm-ip 1.2.3.4

List all allowed IPs

proxflix list-ips

Configuration

If you want to use OpenDNS servers instead Google DNS then do:

proxflix config-set dns '208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220'
proxflix restart

ProxFlix by default is using iptables to allow ports 443, 80, 53 only for the IPs you want. If you prefer to manage this with your own firewall rules, then you can disable this feature with:

proxflix config-set iptables false
proxflix restart

ProxFlix detects if you have a global IPv6 and it creates IPv6 NAT. This feature adds an iptables rule even if iptables config options is false. To disable this feature do:

proxflix config-set ipv6nat false
proxflix restart

proxflix's Issues

Is this a multi geo unlock solution like SmartDNS Proxy?

I asked the same of SmartGW who pointed me here as alt.

So is the capability for a single geo fence only, e.g., to unlock both Netflix US and BBC iPlayer UK we will need one proxy server setup in each region?

proflix does not start

Hello i followed the guide line but when i do the commad "proxflix start" doesn't start

proxflix status
Start on boot: yes
Running: no

Thank you

Can't connect to ports 80, 443; it seems that docker listens only on IPv6

Hi,

I've just installed your docker image on my server (thanks!)

My router set in a way that DNS resolves pandora.com to an IP address of this server, but curl can't get it:

$ curl -v -o /dev/null https://www.pandora.com
* Rebuilt URL to: https://www.pandora.com/
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current

* Failed to connect to www.pandora.com port 443: Connection refused
* Closing connection 0
curl: (7) Failed to connect to www.pandora.com port 443: Connection refused

I tried to telnet to server-ip, ports 53, 80, 443, but I can't: Connection refused.
I have disabled iptables in your image: proxflix config-set iptables false (and restarted it), and I have following ufw rules:

Status: active
Logging: on (low)
Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing), allow (routed)
New profiles: skip

80,443/tcp                 ALLOW IN    my-public-ip
53/udp                     ALLOW IN    my-public-ip

53/udp (v6)                ALLOW IN    Anywhere (v6)

There is no entries in ufw log about blocked requests from my home ip.
Also netstat output from the server:

$ sudo netstat -tulpn

Do I misunderstand something? What do I have to do so I can connect to http and dns ports of my server?
