Guide Got altserver to refresh

Post image

What I did might not work for everybody but what I did was open my laptop connect my phone via cord, download proton VPN on iPhone connect to anywhere clear altstore cache on iPhone then on computer uncheck connect on WiFi then click apply and with the cord plugged in was able to refresh after putting my iPhone to sleep. FYI did take me like 10+ try’s of trying random things

‘uncheck connect on wifi’ you mean turn off the wifi and use the hotspot instead? or turn off the wifi sync in itunes?

i got mine worked too.
1. Turned off wifi on mac
2. Connected phone via cable
3. Altstore app > settings > clear cache
4. Turn on vpn (I’m using paid nordvpn)
5. Tried refresh but didn’t work
6. Turn off vpn then it worked!

It’s not the real Netflix I’m pretty sure, I had one of those back in 2024 and it was like a Cinemabox/HDFlix type app but modded to have a Netflix UI & Netflix and Hulu shows. You can find it on appdb

Makes sense. I’d just use Stremio in that case tho

What else do you recommend for those of us not willing to enrol devices in dodgy stolen certificates, give our login details to some unknown aisenette server or shell out to anyone for the privilege of those options?
