Unblock-Us Auto Activator

Automatically updates your IP address in Unblock-Us DNS service.

Unblock-Us Auto Activator - IP Updates for Unblock-Us DNS

'Unblock-Us Auto Activator' is a Google Chrome extension designed to automate IP association with your Unblock-Us account. It consistently checks, every five minutes, if your dynamic IP address issued by your ISP has changed and if so, re-assigns this new IP to your Unblock-Us account. This is beneficial for uninterrupted region-blocked streaming services. Note: if using synched Chrome profiles across different networks, IP assignment conflicts may happen.

Extension summary

The Unblock-Us service is great for unlocking access to region-blocked streaming services.

However, sometimes you get the following error:

""" Looks like your internet address has changed. Please click here to activate your new internet address. """

This error happens because your ISP is issuing you a dynamic IP address that can change often (~once a day for me). This means you need to open a browser tab, go to Unblock-Us and click the link to re-associate your new IP address with your account.

This extension re-associates your IP automatically with Unblock-Us every 5 minutes (as long as you have a running Chrome browser window with the extension installed).

For me this works fine because I have a 24/7 always-on HTPC with Chrome always open :-)
