Unblock-Us Auto Activator

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

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 :-) Note that if you are signed in to Chrome, and your extensions are synched, and you open a Chrome window from work or some other network, there could be a conflict in IP assignments. If this is an issue, you may consider creating a second Chrome profile on your always-on device, and install the extension only in that (non-synched) profile. *** DISCLAIMER *** This extension is provided as-is, and has no official association with Unblock-Us service provider. Use at own risk, etc, etc.
