Is Unlocator legit?
In the context of a VPN, this is an important question.
Do you trust them? We've tried to put together a guide to help you answer this question.
In this article, we review Unlocator, a browser extension that promises to show you which country your online traffic is being sent to. We will take a look at how it works and how it might be useful for your web browsing experience.
How does Unlocator work? First of all, what exactly is Unlocator? According to the product page: Unlocator is a browser extension that helps you browse the Internet anonymously and privately by showing you exactly where you are when you access a website. You can think of it as a type of tracker blocker for online traffic.
The name itself suggests that Unlocator shows you which country your online traffic is being routed through. But how exactly does it work? Let's take a closer look: Step 1: The first step is opening the browser window and installing the Unlocator extension. This will take you to the site's Chrome extension marketplace.
Step 2: In order to access Unlocator, you need to click the green button on the top right corner. You'll be taken to the website Unlocator.com, where you can enter the website you want to visit.
Step 3: At this point, it is important to mention that we haven't yet tested Unlocator on any other browser than Chrome, so we don't have any way of knowing if the site works on Firefox or other browsers. You can click on the 'try it' button to view the extension's functionality.
After entering the URL of a website, it will open in your browser. This is what you should see in Chrome.
So far so good. You can now check if the extension works properly. Click on the location bar and you'll see the location of the IP address your traffic has been redirected to.
After clicking on it, you should see a location marker for the country you visited. You can click on the marker and it will redirect you to the site with the full IP address of that country.
Does Unlocator work with Netflix?
Do you get a Unlocator code from Netflix?
Can you use it to play the streaming service from your Roku TV? By: Ben Martin, Updated August 20, 2025. The answer to both of these questions is yes. But before we answer each question, we'll discuss what is going on behind the scenes when you watch Netflix on a Roku TV. You'll get a better idea of why the method works, and why it doesn't work in some situations. It also explains how to fix problems if they happen, so you won't have to rely on technical support to get your TV working again.
Unlocator is a special browser extension for Roku TV and Android devices. It works with Netflix on all Roku models, including the models with the new Roku OS 6.5 firmware release. It also works with Apple TVs and Fire TV boxes, but that requires an older version of Unlocator.
Why Does Unlocator Work? When watching Netflix on your Roku TV, you start by navigating to Netflix via your Roku remote. If you haven't used Unlocator recently or if you use it a lot, you will be prompted to install it again (it's a one-time deal). The code will be available in the pop-up box in the middle of the screen while you watch Netflix.
Your TV does not need to be connected to a network. You don't need WiFi or an Ethernet cable. The signal is sent to your TV via your Internet service provider. In other words, Unlocator works whether or not you are on a local network.
If your provider has been getting good reviews from those who tried Unlocator, they might have added the feature for free. Some providers are adding more features as time goes on. They do this to keep their customers happy.
How Do You Install Unlocator? When you open the Roku Home screen on your Roku TV, navigate to the Store channel. Search for Unlocator and press the green arrow. You will see a pop-up box in the middle of the screen with your device's serial number. That number should match the serial number that is listed at the bottom of this article.
Select Install. Scroll down on your screen and wait while Unlocator downloads and installs itself on your TV.
Does Unlocator work with smart TV?
I have a smart tv with an app on it called "unlocator" that my kids use to find the remote.
Sometimes when we are trying to find it they ask if it is on a TV in another room or something like that. How can I get this app to work with smart tv apps?
Comments. My daughter uses it on her tablet. It's very simple. Once you have it set up on your tablet, just open the app on your tv and it will automatically find it.
I use it for finding things like: iPad, PS4 remote, TV remote, Wii remotes etc. If you can't figure out the answer to your question, I'd be happy to help you troubleshoot.
I had an issue with it not working on my TV with a Samsung. After the first 2 hours of trying to figure it out, I was able to get it to work with some trial and error. You just need to figure out where the app is set up. It should be easy. I found it under the TV settings. I think it's something like TV/Settings/Apps.
The first time I set up unlocator on my wife's Nexus 9, it worked fine. But then when she got a new TV, it wouldn't work. She had to manually delete the app and re-install it.
So I tried it on my Nexus 5X and it worked the first time. So I guess it depends on the device. I would assume it's the same as your tablet, though.
So now when she's at home, she has unlocator on her phone and she can find her remote control and turn on our Roku. But when she goes to work or to someone else's house, she has to do it again. So it's something about her particular TV.
I'd suggest contacting the developer of the app and see if they can help you with this. It sounds like they're fairly responsive. Maybe even give them a call. You can send them a message through their website, too.
I've had it work for everything I've tested it with, but that's pretty much the only things I've used it for. I don't use it for anything except for finding remotes or remote controls or other miscellaneous stuff. I don't use it for controlling any other things.
Does Unlocator work with Roku?
My daughter is currently on the Roku channel.
Her problem is she is a senior in high school and has no interest in the tv channels except for Netflix. She's not a big movie watcher, and since she's a senior, she doesn't have any interest in the sports channels or TV news. The only thing that we can get her to watch is Netflix.
I'm wondering if there is a way to add the unlocator channel to her Roku? I don't want to go through her Roku and change it's settings. I just want to do it through the web browser on her PC. If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks. Bobby. Hi, welcome to OC. Here is a way to add a channel to your Roku using the web browser on your PC.
1) Log into your Roku. 2) Open up the "Settings" screen and scroll down to the bottom. 3) Find "Developer Tools". 4) Click on "Settings". 5) Go to "Developer Tools" again and scroll down to "Manage". 6) Find "Add Channel" and select it. 7) Select the channel you wish to add from the list on the left side of the page. 8) Scroll down and select "Add". 9) Enter a name for the channel. 10) Click "Add" and wait for the confirmation. 11) Now when you go back to the "Settings" screen you will find a new item named "Add Channel". That is all there is to it. You can add as many channels as you want. If you do not wish to use the web browser, I can also send you a .zip file containing a channel list that you can use in the same manner as described above. Please email me at dave.dorman@gmail.com and let me know what Roku channel you are trying to add.
Dave. Hello Dave. I just tried the web browser method and it didn't work. I tried adding "movietime" and it still came up with an error. I've emailed you to let you know what happened.
Dave: The movietime channel was not added correctly.
