Hi!
Maybe you can provide some technical details?
What's "helper application" it tries to install on first run?
Any source code available?

The helper app is there to update proxies for www.netflix.com requests while watching a movie. As soon as you stop playing the movie it removes that specific proxy rule. It is better and safer than the common "smart DNS" trick because it does not route nor intercept requests to other domains.
Also, I will remove this helper in the incoming version (found a better way).
