Privacy & Anonymity
GetFlix will collect personal identification information from ssers only if they voluntarily submit such information to them. Users can always refuse to supply personally identification information, except that it may prevent them from engaging in certain site related activities.
They may also collect non-personal identification information about ssers whenever they interact on the GetFlix site. Non-personal identification information may include the browser name, the type of computer and technical information about users means of connection to their site, such as the operating system and the Internet service providers utilized and other similar information.
Provider Logging Policy
GetFlix seems to have a very good logging policy. They’ll log on request, which will only happen if they’re trying to troubleshoot an issue for you. They admit that, if they wanted to, they could see all of your traffic going over their DNS servers, but do not log under normal circumstances. Their logging for troubleshooting is targeted, meaning they only log the IP of the user who gave permission for them to do so.
Torrent Policy
Previously, GetFlix was only a SmartDNS service and did not encrypt all of the connections from your computer. However, they’ve added a VPN service with all of their plans and they have servers that allow torrent traffic. According to their site, they have special networks deployed for this purpose in the countries/networks where P2P can be used. As per their terms of use, their VPN network must be used for legal purposes only, including the use of P2P.
Customer Support
There’s a ticketing system available from the customer dashboard where you can submit support requests.
Their website also has a comprehensive support and FAQ section that covers information on device setup, proxies, full VPN, API and DNS-over-VPN.
Product Testing
This service is manual. This means that, to configure your device for the service, you simply change your DNS settings according to the guides on the setup area of the GetFlix site.
While using the GetFlix DNS server, you’ll be able to access geo-restricted content without any difficulties.
Important: There is a DNS-over-VPN option with this service. This allows you to connect to the GetFlix DNS servers when doing so might normally be blocked.

Areas for Improvement
Like most SmartDNS services, this one is manually configured. Adding clients to these services could make them much more accessible to users.
Conclusion
If you’re in the market for a SmartDNS service in Australia, check this service out. It’s easy to use and it will give you access to the better versions of Netflix, Crackle and other services that are geo-restricted to other nations. Remember, however, that this is not a replacement for a standard VPN service.
That being said, GetFlix does have a free VPN service as part of their paid plans. It is decent enough as a free service but may not be able to compete well with top VPN providers in the market today.
