No worries, great tutorial and thanks for your help!
Many thanks to @joodle . I've followed your tutorial and it worked perfecty on my computer and my iPad. Just one note: It worked well on Netflix, but on Hulu it says that "Based on your IP address, we noticed you are trying to access Hulu through an anonymous proxy tool". Well, at least USA Netflix works. Maybe if I try another VPS for Hulu... and recomendations for one provider that is not blacklisted on Hulu (yet)?
Lot's of providers/ISP's are already banned unfortunately
Last time i tried (4-5 days ago) it was working with BudgetVZ, but that one got banned as well i just noticed 
@TinyTunnel_Tom
I just bought one of your plans I plan on running DNS server on it, mate.
No problem hope it works fine. Any issues PM me or send a ticket
This has been documented extensively, with accompanying tools, for a while:
https://github.com/trick77/tunlr-style-dns-unblocking
The linked-to blog posts (by the author) are from last March, and quite informative. They include workarounds for non-SNI setups as well.
Thanks @joodle for the tutorial it's working very good
Anyone know if this works with Hulu and a Roku3? I'm using the Trick77 setup and its perfect for Netflix on my Roku and Hulu in my browser, but Hulu refuses to work on the Roku.
Should work fine if you follow my tutorial
@Joodle - have you tested it on a Roku before?
No, but it works on a Chromecast, i assume that if it works on that it will work on a Roku as well.
@Joodle in the Trick77 config they have their own entries in HAProxy e.g. roku.hulu.blahblah so I assume one of those entries has changed, hence it doesn't work.
@jeromeza - this works on roku but is more complicated to setup as you can't set any dns information on the roku so you will need a router or something in front of your roku to give it a different dns address. You will also need to set a static routes on your router to redirect anything going from 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 to your dns server....I'm currently using a router with dd-wrt on it in order to accomplish this, below is the rules i'm using to make sure nothing is going to google's dns servers:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 8.8.8.8 -j DNAT --to-destination x.x.x.x
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 8.8.4.4 -j DNAT --to-destination x.x.x.x
I also route anything on my internal network going to 53 to 5353 instead so that anything going out over dns (53) goes to my dns server that I have listening on 5353..
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to x.x.x.x:5353
Any idea about providers that have IPs works for Hulu?
I finally got IPs that work with Hulu and it works fine for me on PC & Windows Phone
Anyone succeeded to get it work on Android or iPhone?
I don't use Netfix etc. so excuse my ignorance. Is there any reason the classic ssh socks5 proxy with dns forwarding doesn't work, or is this setup simply to facilitate usage with tvs/dongles?
Correct
anything that doesn't use SNI which includes older smart TVs Xbox 360 Ps3 chromecast etc.
Solved
For anyone that have the same problem remove all the servers and just keep this one “s.hulu.com” in both DNS & HAProxy
In HAProxy no https just http only
Or, why not just use Docker and set up your own DNS-unblocking as a Service (DAAS) within seconds:
https://github.com/trick77/dockerflix
Needs a Rasperry Pi or OpenWrt/DDWrt router though for local DNS resolution because a remote DNS resolver is a PITA for more than one reason.
I've done exactly as you said in the guide and while the DNS server works fine with any URL, it doesn't work with netflix or hulu. I get ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.
What am I doing wrong? I've done everything and tried everything I could but I don't have enough knowledge of this matter to go on on my own.
I got it to work. For this method to work it MUST be haproxy version 1.5. It doens't work in older versions.
Thanks the tutorial.
We will prove as
Try take a look at Dockerflix - way easier to implement and update.

@joodle
I tried to do it on one single OpenVZ vps and I'm not being recognized as an US visitor in Netflix.
Is it because the code needs to be different if we want to use it only with 1 VPS?
This is a very interesting tutorial, I am going to come back to this thank you so much
This maybe caused by your VPS IP try to test it via SSH Tunnel if Netflix work then the problem in your config (I have a US VPS that show me as in Mexico)
just a quick question. I followed the tutorial without any problem, but on my computer where should I put my username and password? also I have changed my ipv4 dns (use the following dns server addresses) to my vps ip on my windows 8 but it doesn't work. Can't load any website. Please advise
Can anyone post the haproxy configuration? It looks like Joodle's site is no longer working...

That should do ya, works fine Samsung & SonyTV, Apple TV etc etc
