The Counterflix software is advertised as an application that can allow users to load geo-restricted content from services like Hulu, Pandora and Netflix. PC users that live in countries like India, China, and Russia, where Internet censorship applies may be interested in installing Counterflix. The services provided by Counterflix are available through the app and the modification of your DNS configuration. The setup page for Counterflix can be found at Counterflix.com and users will need to edit their system settings to install the Counterflix correctly.
You should note that the Counterflix software is provided on an "As-Is" basis and you will not receive support from its developers. Unfortunately, the makers of Counterflix do not provide contact information like a Facebook page or a Twitter account, which you may need in case of problems with Counterflix. Researchers note that your Internet traffic via Counterflix can be tracked and altered by third parties. Moreover, the DNS configuration you are supposed to use with Counterflix is not tied to the app. The DNS servers listed at Counterflix.com are hosted by GreenteamDNS which offer access to their service for free. That means users do not need to install Counterflix if they want to benefit from a proper DNS configuration. The Counterflix software behaves similarly to AnyFlix and DNS Unlocker. Counterflix is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that you may want to consider for removal. PC users can benefit from installing a reputable anti-malware suite that has the capability of eliminating badware and PUPs like Counterflix efficiently.
