I know what you mean, but websites (netflix) can make decisions based on where a DNS request originates. a proxy DNS is how you 'trick' netflix into thinking you're in a different region.

Netflix has no idea how you figured out its IP is 54.194.149.231. All it knows is your IP address, that you've gotten from your ISP.

k, you're right I'm wrong, which is good because I didn't like that that conflicted with my understanding.

what unblock-us does is use their own DNS servers, which made me wonder how that could affect anything, but apparently it's by changing the address entries for specific sites to use their proxy web servers, so you get a proxied connection for those specific sites, and a regular connection for everything else.
