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 :-)
