  > I use TomatoUSB on my home router, which includes dnsmasq (under Advanced / DHCP/DNS, there's a textarea for "Dnsmasq custom configuration"). I have a line in there:

      server=/netflix.com/75.75.75.75

  > which tells dnsmasq to use my ISP's dns (75.75.75.75) instead of my default (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4), only when resolving domains that look like netflix.com.
You are my hero, good sir! You've just inadvertently provided the solution I didn't know existed to fix my Netflix and Hulu issues.


To be fair, I'm just repeating something I saw on HN before. Here, I dug up the original post, give that person your upvotes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6393829

Also, please consider sending the author / maintainer of dnsmasq (Simon Kelley, [email protected]) a thank-you email. Same for the maintainer of your router's after-market firmware, if you use such a thing.
